From Norma O'Toole: I called Notre Dame Cemetery in Ottawa (they do not have an e-mail address). In order to search for a burial at their cemetery, you must have either the month and the year, or the lot # and section. They are not computerized and have to go through the original register. They don't mind going through a month of records, but can't go through a whole year. They have been open since 1872 and have over 114,000 burials. If you would like to contact them once you find a date of death, their mailing address is: Notre Dame Cemetery Ottawa 455 Montreal Road Ottawa ON K1K 0V2 The phone number is (613) 746-4175 ... Norma who posted this information to the UOVGEN List.
