Can you give me the address for a certain cemetery?

Most cemeteries are rural (not in cities) and don't have a postal address. If you're seeking an address to write to a rural cemetery there won't be one. Even some city cemeteries don't have postal addresses. But all known cemeteries have location addresses (for rural cemeteries, this may mean Con 1 Lot 29 of such-and-such Township) that will allow you to find the cemetery for a visit.

If you're seeking an address to a cemetery and it's not on the county page, the county host still might be able to tell you, if you email and ask. Or you can try CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project, or the Ontario Genealogical Society. Your OGS branch will be able to tell you where a cemetery is, and they may even do a better job of locating it than the GenWeb host because if they have transcribed the cemetery, they have actually visited it (and the GenWeb host hasn't necessarily been there!). You can get the address for a particular branch of OGS from the OGS website.

Who can do OCFA lookups?

Visit OCFA and read the FAQ for information on how to contact contributing organizations (the ones who submitted the cemetery indices). Then write to the organization and include an SAE and 2 IRC's. Most will do the lookup for you for a nominal fee. Whenever possible, before writing, find out more about the organization. Most have OCFA policies that are explained on their websites, and these policies may state that the fee is required before they will do a lookup. Also, you should look for a publications list, because you might find that purchasing the entire cemetery transcription is only a few dollars.

Also read OCFA: What it is and how to use it, an article written by a member of the Perth County Branch OGS in response to OCFA queries.

My wife's relatives came through Quebec City in June of 1860 from Norway. The story has it that one of the children, Anna Jordal was buried on an island that they landed on. What island might that be?

Grosse Île

I sent a message to a GenWeb volunteer and haven't heard back, why?

Keep in mind that everyone involved with GenWeb is a volunteer and gives their time freely when they can spare a few moments. This may mean a few days will pass before a reply is sent out. You're not being ignored, we're just busy!

If a full week has passed and you haven't received a reply, send your message again. If another full week goes by without a reply contact the OntarioGenWeb coordinator, state whom you were trying to reach, when and what happened.

Also keep in mind that during the holiday season (Dec/Jan) and summer months (Jun-Sep) GenWeb volunteers may be on vacation and away from e-mail for several weeks.

Is a 'Funeral Director's Proof of Death Certificate' from Ontario is the same as same as Death Certificate? Does it have the same status, importance?

No, they are not the same. A Funeral Director's Proof of Death Certificate is issued by the funeral home that held the funeral. A Death Certificate is issued by the government. It's presumed that the one issued by the government would hold more weight but both could be considered a record of death.
