I am having difficulty in finding out where and when someone died. It may have been in his hometown area or in England. It's from 1897, where can I find the info I need?
Ontario Death Registrations are available for this period. They are indexed by name and can be accessed at the Archives of Ontario, any Canadian Library with microfilm facilities, Family History Centres worldwide and through a subscription to Ancestry.ca.

I am looking for a death index for Welland County that covers 1947-1960. Where can I find this?
For the 1947-1960 time period the earliest you would be able to access a death index is 2019 and only for the year 1947 (1948 would be available in 2020, 1949 in 2021, and so on). As explained on our page for Death Records there is a privacy law restricting the release of death registrations for 72 years unless you are next-of-kin or the legal representative of the deceased.

I am trying to find out more information about: Gilbert BERKMAN - born abt 1937 in Austria. His name is listed as Gilbert BIRKMAN born abt 1839. Source Publication 1823-19 Source: ELLIOTT, BRUCE S. Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario: Leeds, Grenville, Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society, 1990.268p Page 17. How can I can this information about my Great Great father Gilbert Berkman (Birkman)
Locate the source. You've got the title "1871 Census of Ontario: Leeds, Grenville", the author "ELLIOTT, BRUCE S.", the publisher "Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society, 1990." and even the page number the information is on "Page 17".
This index can be purchased from the Ontario Genealogical Society but it can also be searched online at Library & Archives Canada, Queen's University and Family Search
The entire 1871 census (images included) is available through an Ancestry subscription.
