TIPS.
****
Searching for common names such as "brown" can result in many hits.
Experiment with the search engine. Try...BROWN1...then BROWN2.....then
BROWN3...etc etc..! This will reduce the results for each search.

CANADIAN GRAVEMARKER GALLERY.
****************************
1. Over the past 8 years I have been asked by Out-Of-Province folks, "If
I photographed local cemeteries, can I send the pictures to you and have
them placed online?" At the time, I told these folks that I was
concentrating only on Northern Ontario.
*
2. However, I have now built a National website: http://gravemarkers.ca
.....! On this new site I can accommodate photographs of complete
cemeteries from anywhere in Canada.
*
3. If you have family or friends across Canada who may be interested in
photographing their local cemeteries, please pass on this information.
*
4. If you are interested in your local cemeteries going online, please
contact me at: mailto: or mailto:
*
NORTHERN ONTARIO GRAVEMARKER GALLERY.
************************************
1. The Northern Ontario Gravemarker Gallery has over 300 cemeteries and
250,000 photographs online with more going online weekly.
*
2. Search Engine. Please note that the Search Engine NOW searches ALL
cemeteries.
*
3. The number of visitors to the Northern Ontario Gravemarker Gallery has
exceeded 514,000 visits....which is significant when you consider the
majority of these visitors are family researchers.
*
NORTHERN ONTARIO HISTORIC/NOSTALGIC WEBSITE.
*******************************************
1. Several visitors have asked about the research value of the
Historic/Nostalgic website. I explain that the yearbooks and classroom
photos with names, place the student in a specific place and time; plus in
most cases it will also place their parents in that specific place and time.
*
2. Please note that the *Northern Ontario Historic Photo Gallery* is
online at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~cannor
*
3. Currently there are many yearbooks and class photos online for North
Bay and other Northern Ontario communities.

NOTES:
*****
1. Cemeteries have spousal duplicated photographs. This means a photo
which has the spouse's maiden name showing, is duplicated and when one
searches for a surname, the spouse's surname will be a separate "search
result".
*
2. The speed at which cemeteries are photographed depends mainly on the
price of gas for our cars to reach distant cemeteries. Should you wish to
help out with this ongoing huge project, please contact Murray at
mailto:
