In 1973 the Ontario Genealogical Society initiated its Cemetery Project. Its goal was to identify all cemeteries in Ontario and to record all the monumental inscriptions within each cemetery. Currently, 96% of Ontario Cemeteries have been successfully transcribed by OGS and its 30 branches.

To make this information accessible to the public, the OGS is proud to announce the launch of its Cemetery Ancestor Index and Cemetery Locator.

This is different than the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid (OCFA), but both sites are useful. The OCFA: http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/homepage.html

All the best in your search.
