Ontario Genealogy: Cemeteries
Cemeteries
OCFA Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid - this is an index of names in many of Ontario's cemeteries. The current OCFA list (Version 5) is not complete. It has over 1 million names, but when version 6 is released this spring it will have over
2 million. The names have all been entered into the list by a team of volunteers.
Also, some regional genealogical societies have resisted
supporting the OCFA, consequently, there are
almost no names from York County (Toronto area), although there may
be some in version 6. The fact that you can't find a name which you
know is on a headstone means that the cemetery hasn't been transcribed
yet.
Olive Tree Genealogy recommends AncestorsAtRest.com for death records - coffin plates (with names of deceased plus birth and death dates), funeral cards, obituaries, cemetery records, memorial death cards, funeral home records, burial records and more.
There are some scattered death records and obits online from various parts of Ontario (Upper Canada). If you have ancestors in the Hamilton area, try Hamilton Library's Special Collections online, Obits for 1846 from the Hamilton Spectator.
