Canadian Military Geneology

Many people ask me about finding information on a long-lost relative, and I try to direct them to some on-line resources. However, this is not my specialty. The following are some places to search for information on Canadians serving in our military. There are many more problems if your relative served in an Allied unit, such as the Royal Flying Corps in WWI, or the Royal Air Force in WWII, as many Canadians did. I will try to post important sites as I find them. Good luck.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission may be able to provide some information if you can give them enough data to identify the serviceman (or woman). They now have a web site at: The Commonwealth War Graves Commission, it was established by Royal Charter of 1917 and has the mandate to mark and maintain the graves of members of the forces of the Commonwealth who died in the two world wars, to build and maintain memorials to the dead whose graves are unknown and to keep records and registers. The Canadian Agency of the Commission can trace the burial location of all Commonwealth war dead worldwide. Traces are most easily completed if your enquiry has as much of the following information as possible: full name, rank, serial number, date of death, hometown, next of kin.
