Thanks to John Reid’s blog post on Anglo-Celtic Connections, I learned yesterday morning that Ancestry has added Ontario death registrations for the year 1950.
Subscribers can now explore more than 43,000 newly added Ontario death registrations. These records are from the Archives of Ontario.
I check Ancestry’s new and updated collections almost daily, but I overlooked this one because there’s a wee, but significant, typo in the name of the collection. The updated collection, Ontario, Canada, Deaths and Deaths Overseas, 1869-1949, should actually say, 1869-1950, and I expect that will be corrected soon.
In February, Ancestry added Ontario marriage registrations for 1940. Next to be added this year are the province’s birth registrations for 1918.
FamilySearch’s Ontario deaths, 1869-1937 and overseas deaths, 1939-1947 can be searched for free with a free account. The website also has Ontario births, 1869-1912 and Ontario marriages, 1869-1927.
