Is there a death index in Canada that I can search?

I'm looking for Marvin H. Heller born around 1934 in Brooklyn, New  York.  My search took me to Toronto since there is no sign of him in the USA after he lived in Jacksonville, FL.  He married Jeannie P. Wong.  He had a few wives but Jeannie had a few last names: Jeannie W. Heller is also known as Jeannie P. Wong, Jeannie Pui Heller, Jeannie Pk Wong, Pui Kay Heller, and Jeannie Wong Heller.

I would appreciate the assistance.

FamilySearch is indeed digitizing their microfilms, but as I understand it, it's an ongoing project which is not yet complete. However,  in this case, the films have been digitized (note the digital folder numbers), but must be viewed in a FamilySearch center.

That's fine for  a short run of messages, but to search whether a topic has been covered any time in the past would involve  downloading a huge file. Is the whole archive of, say, GerSig,  messages still available on the new website, and if so, how does one access it?

Possibly the author can be more specific in his request!  The "microfilm" mentioned is actually SEVEN rolls of Polish BDM records covering 5 decades.
Gmina żydowska, Międzyrzec Podlaski.  Given the timperiod,  they are likely in Russian.

Hello Esther,

The very  next issue of AVOTAYNU will carry my article on Jewish genealogical research in Cuba.  It will not give you exact names but will point you to resources that you might use to discover the information that you seek.  The issue should be arriving within two months, perhaps far less time.  Stay tuned.

Sincerly,

Hello
Having helped me get these certificates from LDS, I need their reading help.
I need the maximum details, I really hope I find a breakthrough there
for my research.
If you can help - get in touch with me first, to see that someone else
hasn't been ahead of you.

Hello
Thank you so much to all the wonderful people who responded quickly
and wanted to help, sorry for not being able to answer one
individually.
I already got the help! The documents are in my hands. Thanks to Larry Bassist‏.

Now I will need help translating them, but I will ask for a separate email.

Note: For those who recommended me to go to the LDS library, there is
no such directory in Israel (legal issues) so I was looking for
someone who lives close to an existing directory.

My grandfather, Morris (Moishe)Davidson(Davidsohn) was born in Belaya Tzerkov, Kiev Gubernia, Ukraine on April 10, 1893. His tombstone indicates his father's name was David. There is a tombstone in the same cemetery that has a David Davidson (Davidsohn), born in 1870. This David emigrated in 1901. Morris emigrated in 1913. Is there a way I can look at a Ukranian census or other document to validate or invalidate the relationship between these two people?

There is an LDS library not far from where I live. I have never been there, but I’m happy to get the documents for you. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do it until January.
If someone else is able to do it earlier, just let me know.

Dear Group,

I am researching my husband's family, Tennenbaum and Horowitz, from
Sokolowka (Sokolivka) / Labacz, Galicia.

An elder cousin of the Horowitz family born in Sokolivka consistently used
the prefix Ish when discussing her Horowitz family as well as previous
Horowitz generations, as in Menachem Mendel Ish Horowitz. Does anyone
know what Ish refers to, and why that designation? I know there is also a
distinguished rabbinical Horowitz family, however there is no family
tradition the rabbinical family is related. I have not been able to find the
usage of Ish anywhere. I hope someone can help solve this puzzle.

Many thanks,
