Mary google has different sites for different countries

for example

www.google.ca
www.google.com.au

and so on ( just like this site :-) )

if you search at one of them then when you get results you can choose 'pages in Canada' ... or Australia etc ... on the left side

if you are searching for Mary Brown this will not be helpful

but if you are searching for someone whose name is less common countries like Canada and Australia and New Zealand have smaller populations and possibly you will find something that could be useful

a person could be listed at their employer's website or on the website of a charity or a community group

sometimes it is possible to find obituaries by doing a search at google

search for names in different forms with quotation marks for example

"mary jane brown"
"brown mary j"

this may not work but it can be surprising ... some time back I was helping someone here in Australia look for an elderly cousin in Canada ... by searching for his name as above I found a newsletter from a care home where the old fellow had had his 90th birthday only a few weeks before !

Researching:
the 'Walking Madonna' at Salisbury Cathedral ... if genes members find your family do thank them by name on the Success Stories board !
