I think most websites now try to use a two-ways-to-get-there design that is also intuitive to people who understand directions differently than others :)<br /><br />I'm just having a wonderful time playing around with all the possibilities, thanks to your sharing that web address. I have more Canadian ancestors to research, not just in Ontario, but across many provinces, so this will be a tool used for many months to come! My never-ending thanks to you for your help!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-74864055956014599932015-10-25T22:25:25.563-07:002015-10-25T22:25:25.563-07:00Iggy, I think I may have found it!

It doesn't look like our Margaret.<br /><br /><i>Still</i>, thank you for mentioning it! What it afforded me was a process that allowed me to review the situation and look at it from a few more angles. I may still not solve it, but those new ideas for questions are popping up in my mind, and I may as well run with them!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-27098803923570871342015-10-25T13:48:17.624-07:002015-10-25T13:48:17.624-07:00Sorry my instructions were unclear - when I said t...Sorry my instructions were unclear - when I said to click on Ontario, I meant to click on the map.

Thank you so much for sharing that resource!<br /><br />One thing I noticed: when following your instructions to click on "Ontario," I took that literally, and scrolled to the bottom of the page where each province's name was hyperlinked. That simply brought me to a listing, by province, of all the Canadian cemeteries. Still, that's nice...but a bit overwhelming at over 5,000 cemeteries for Ontario alone.<br /><br />However, by hovering my cursor over the map itself, in what I thought might be the approximate area where my Tullys once lived in the province of Ontario, by then clicking, it brought up the local area with a different listing: this time of the <i>county,</i> names. Much more manageable!<br /><br />This is going to be one of those websites at the top of my "favorites" list!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-54230468475524568762015-10-24T23:47:40.641-07:002015-10-24T23:47:40.641-07:00That's interesting, Far Side, since I always a...That's interesting, Far Side, since I always assume those photos you find are from the area where you live. <i>You</i> would know your own turf, but someone like me would have to consult a map!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-64876691671539908452015-10-24T23:46:03.967-07:002015-10-24T23:46:03.967-07:00It certainly helps, Ellie.

I don't know whether that rings more true for visual people, but it makes sense to check a map for hunches about whether certain distances would be believable, given the time frame and other parameters. I just feel better seeing it diagrammed out in map form.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-82051754898908664082015-10-24T10:59:48.680-07:002015-10-24T10:59:48.680-07:00Several months ago, I found a post in the Find-A-G...Several months ago, I found a post in the Find-A-Grave forums that explains how to search by Canadian province or by county, by tweaking the url with the numbers that represent the province or county. (I used this to find all cemeteries in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, where I have ancestors.) <br /><br />I just revisited the post to confirm the source and noticed that another Find-A-Grave user has created a "front end" for searching Canadian cemeteries, and it uses a map! You're going to love this. Check out http://www.craigmyle.ca/fag/, click Ontario, then click on Huron and there you go - a list of cemeteries in Huron County, Ontario, Canada.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-66916083006462331292015-10-24T10:39:29.629-07:002015-10-24T10:39:29.629-07:00I like looking at maps too for the Forgottens:)I like looking at maps too for the Forgottens:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-40730700890251362862015-10-24T10:31:23.126-07:002015-10-24T10:31:23.126-07:00Good point about maps.
