Harold Pretty, M.S.M., Ottawa, Ont.
Meritorious Service Medal (civil division)
Since 1988, Mr. Pretty has tirelessly devoted time and energy to searching for and finding long-lost relatives or friends, often at his own expense. As a result, many families have been reunited. His knowledge of genealogy and familiarity with archival research have allowed those who had given up hope to realize their dream of finding a lost loved one.
