General research in Canada / recherche générale au Canada
Know where an ancestor was born or lived? Search for names to find birth, death and marriage certificates, cemetery records, etc. These are great because you can find tons of info (parents names, birth dates, occupations, etc). Tip: try different spellings of last names or just put in the first 2-3 letters.

Finding information outside of Canada
Below is a sampling of websites I have found that can be helpful. Finding resources outside of Canada can be challenging but many geneaology sites (Ancestry, Family Search, etc) are now including information. Good luck!
