You can also stop by: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~janjones/ Where I have a section devoted to Ontario obits and finding them. All I ask is that you find a date and location of death. In some instances, we can check some indexes (Toronto Star up to 2001 and a few others, but in the 1800's).
