Ontario and British Columbia have excellent FREE online databases where you can search for where your ancestors were buried. Many of the listings in these databases were transcribed decades ago, and although some of the headstones no longer exist, thank goodness the local genealogy societies in the area took the time to transcribe the information for these permanent databases.

You'll find many African or Negro cemeteries as well.
