Another Cemetery Finding Aid for You Genealogists

Genealogists out there might want to check out version six of the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid at http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/ .
Version five is the version that's searchable on the site; version six is so large it's only available by download. Version six, with over one million records, is a supplement to version five, which also has over a million records.

This database is more of an "index" than a direct source of information. Each result from a database search provides you with a surname, given name, county, township, reference number, and soundex code. There's a page on the Web site that explains all the reference numbers and where to write for more information. Genealogists with Canadian roots, worth a look. (There's also a British Columbia Cemetery Finding Aid here, but it's much smaller with just under 345,000 names.)
