Is there any way of finding his cemetery?  I've tried Find A Grave but it doesn't seem to have become popular with  Canadians as yet - only 92 Adamsons for the entire country!  Are there any other sources available or any way of looking up an obituary for him?

Thank you!

Cataraqui Cemetery is a very large and beautiful old cemetery serving Kingston and area.  I had occasion to ask for a lookup and they were helpful.

In Ontario, we have the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid which was started back in the late 60's.  It has over 3  million interments.

Thank you! Is there a way to look up names on that site or should I contact them directly and ask? I hunted around a bit but didn't see a list or search engine on it.

Karen's link (THANK YOU, Karen!) gave me this: http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/search.php?page=2&surname=adamson&county=Frontenac

which is a list of 8 Adamsons but not "mine."  Is the list compreshensive or is there still a chance my fellow is there?

Thank you both!  I need all the help I can get, lol!

I emailed the Cataraqui Cemetery with my request - there is no online index of who is buried there.

The OCFA site is great but  I don't think it is comprehensive for Cataraqui Cemetery.  Names that I was looking for are recorded in their files but not in the OCFA.

OK, great.  I'm off to do that now.  Thank you!
