To search the Ryerson Index, you need to enter a complete surname.
In addition, to the surname, you can further restrict the search results by entering any or all of:
- One or more given names, or a nickname. If entering more than one name, the names must be in the correct order
- A location or place name.
- A year range. Either the earliest year, or latest year, or both.
- A newspaper.
Leaving any or all of the optional fields blank will search on all possible values for these fields. Any search will return a maximum of 500 results per page. If there are more than 500 results, you can display them in pages of 500 at a time using the page number list at the top of the display.
It does not matter whether names and places are entered in upper or lower case.
Spelling is vital. If the name or location you specify is spelled differently in the notice, then that notice will not be included in your search results. (In some cases, notices that have incorrect spellings from the original publication will also have the correct spelling alongside in square brackets.)
When specifying a range of years, the search results will include only notices published within the range of years specified, or which refer to an event which took place during those years.
