Hi Greg! Have you gone back in to try in the meantime?
I'm grateful that they are putting the records online, but I have to say it is one of the most awkward search engines for genealogical purposes that i have ever seen.
Maybe someone should tell them??? or is it just me?
BTW, maybe all the Death records have the 'place' left blank, so if you actually put in a place, it won't find any record that matches, rather than finding all records that match other parameters, as it says it will do with the Births.
I came to this conclusion after running several searches for Deaths for an imaginary J Smith. None of the death records indexed a location. If i put the location as Regina, or Saskatoon or Wascana, and the timeframe as before 1950, i got no hits at all. Doesn't seem likely that no-one called J Smith ever died in Regina.
If i left the 'place' blank, i got 41 hits with the most recent ones being in 1916, pretty much as the intro material stated.
Anyway, just wondered if you would have better luck finding yours if you leave out any info about location.
