I bet everyone already knows that some websites offering cemetery listing and photos are not always "Free" as you are lead to believe. Some web pages entice you by giving you a little bit of information, then if you want to know more suddenly you must get a membership to find out the rest. Just remember there are a lot of FREE web pages out in cyper space offering information with no hidden cost. "let the web surfer beware" are wise words to live by. At "Gateway to Ontario Cemeteries " http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~silentguardians/index.htm we do offer FREE lookups and to the best of our knowledge links to FREE off site webpages. A disclaimer is placed on each page of our website advises that the ads at the top and bottom in no way are assosciated with "Gateway to Ontnario Cemeteries ( also known as " Ontario Cemeteries Resources") If you are looking for a cemetery lookup your first choice should be " Gateway to Ontario Cemeteries" were it is voluneteers who offer their services for FREE to anyone in need of a lookup. Again our "sister webpage" can be founded at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~silentguardians/index.htm If you by chance have cemetery you have information on and would like to do a lookup and it is not already listed please think of volunteering to help someone else find a missing loved one. Contact either Janet Jones janet-jones@sympatico.ca or myself shill@wightman.ca We also support the hard work of the Ontario Vital Statistics Project which brings free Births, Marriages and Death records. It can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~onvsr/ A big thank-you to STEVE, HEATHER & MARY for all their hard work and to those who donated their time sharing records with this wonderful website.

Thank you for this info. I appreciate the several instances where I have been able to receive help and info from your site researchers. Some sites seem to be 'sneak-through' sites attaching to such as yours, yesterday I found one which was actually a cover for Ancestry.com. These can easily trap the unwary into unecessary spending for little or no information. Thanks again.
