This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/7aB.2ACEAE/719 Message Board Post: Hello to fellow researchers, Would anyone know if there is a Canadian equivalent to the U.S. Social Security Death Index? I am trying to locate a man who would have immigrated to Canada after WWII (after 1945). There is a good possibility that he has passed away by now and I am trying to think how to track him down. Does anyone have a suggestion to make? Thanks for your help. LInda

Hi Linda, I possibly may be wrong - but - I don't believe that we have anything similar. Perhaps because of concerns about Privacy. In British Columbia - we release our Death Registrations as Public Record after the 20th year. Other Provinces have different time frames - some not till 75 years or more. [We have just completed a 4 year fight to have the release of the 1906 Census for the three Prairie Provinces that came into existence in 1905 - privacy concerns by certain areas of Govt - we are now fighting for the 1911 > which appears to be on it's way - with future Census under question and with restrictions of access for possibly 112 years - to late for me.] unlike the U.S. which has released the 1930 Census. Perhaps a Good Idea - would be to re post your quest. Including the name of the person you are researching. This would help all of us - attempt to help you . Someone may be related - a friend etc - or have other sources of research. CANADIAN LEGION - LAST POST MAGAZINE: may be of help.
