New Search Tool for Canadian Find A Grave Records


There is a fairly new Find a Grave search page that makes it easy to narrow down the results when looking for Canadian gravesites and cemeteries.

Ken Lange  was frfindagrave-canadaustrated with searching for Canadian records and stated that “for the most part, we all love Find A Grave, and I’m sure everyone has benefited from information gleaned from the site at some point in time.  However, as a Canadian, I have long been frustrated by the fact that when searching for memorials in Canada, you can’t narrow the search down even to a province Canada is a big country, and while not at populous as the US, this still leads to unnecessary sifting through records, especially for common surnames.  I don’t know if there are existing tools out there to address this problem, and I’m hoping that Ancestry will fix this sometime soon. But out of frustration a while back I took matters into my own hands and modified the Find a Grave search page for Canadian searches so that you can at least specify a province.  

I don’t know if it will work with all browsers in all environments, but I’ve had it working in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.”
