If you haven’t checked for a “lost” Canadian ancestor in the past year I suggest taking advantage of the large addition to Ancestry’s Canada obituary index from newspapers.com.
| Index | July 2022 | Sept 2021 | % increase |
| Australia | 5,807,702 | NA | NA |
| Canada | 41,457,491 | 31,113,161 | 33.2 |
| US | 964,204,708 | 843,651,119 | 14.3 |
The data runs from the 1800s to the present and coverage depends on the newspapers in the collection. Find out about which they are from https://www.newspapers.com/browse/
