  Notes	According to Michele Schreiner, Reginald married Mary and died in Vancouver, BC, Canada. From the death record at FamilySearch it appears that Mary was Mary or Helmi Maria, parents Alitalo KUSTI and Rose TUMMI. She was a widow when she died. August 2011: email contact from Tonja Gronholm in Finland. She writes: "My distant relatives emigrated to Canada in the beginning of 1900 and I have been trying to locate their children and grandchildren. I found out that a person called Helmi-Maria Alitalo (my relative) got married to Reginald James Minter in 19 March 1924 and I found information about Reginald and his family on your pages. Your pages are excellent! I found out that Helmi-Maria (on your page is written Mary Kusti for some reason) has died in 1979 and that she and Reginald have a child Norma Minter. Do you have any information or advice how I could possibly reach Norma Minter? I noted that a person named Michele Schreiner has posted pictures of Reginald's family on your pages. Michele is related to Reginald's sister. Would it be possible to get her contact information in case she might know more about this family?" As a result of the above, I have changed Reginald's wife's name to Helmi-Maria Alitalo and forwarded Tonja's email to Michele Schreiner. 1931 census of Canada: at 611 Mount Pleasant, Toronto North East, Ontario, Canada (all MINTER), Reginal J (head, 29, born England, immigrated 1921, foreman, auto factory), Mary (wife, 27, born Ontario, parents born Finland, home maker) and Norma (daughter, 6, born Ontario). There's more detail on the census page which can be seen at ancestry.com.
