Searching the Database

To search the Database, click "Database" in the left sidebar. Enter any information that you have, and click "Search."

Choose from one of the two tabs to the left under Database to conduct your search.

You may search the database:

  1. by name: any part of a last name or first name may be entered.

  2. by any other field: fill in any field to conduct a specific search eg: all entries for Alberta, fill in AB under province.

  3. In some cases, our database holds Regimental numbers (Reg.#) but the actual name of the member has been lost because some records were destroyed years ago. You can also search by keying in the word 'Unknown' in the 'Deceased Member Name' field to find bits of research or perhaps see unidentifed members in an old photo. At time goes on, more and more bits of data will be entered on unidentified members such as those who are listed as killed in action (KIA) or Lost at Sea.

Leaving all fields blank and pressing “Search” at the bottom of the database page will retrieve all records in the database.

If you have any information pertaining to a member that is not currently entered into the database, or wish to amend information in the database, please fill out the Submission Form where updates / corrections can be made.
