To explain further:
In addition to offering access to the complete collection, Ancestry has created for its users what amount to artificial and partial "records collections" or subsets organized around specific geographies.
*** OF NOTE: *** In recognition of the fact the FindaGrave service is, itself, a free public resource, Ancestry offers these collections FREELY to all to assist everyone with their research.
Examples are:
Australia and New Zealand, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
Brazil, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
Canada, Find a Grave Index, 1600s-Current
Germany, Find a Grave Index, 1600s-Current
Global, Find a Grave Index for Burials at Sea and other Select Burial Locations, 1300s-Current
Italy, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
Mexico, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
Norway, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
Sweden, Find a Grave Index, 1800s-Current
UK and Ireland, Find a Grave Index, 1300s-Current
U.S., Find a Grave Index, 1600s-Current
Ancestry has also chosen to create a further artificial, but incomplete "Index Collection" or "dictionary" of these indices within its "Card Catalog", which can be observed here.
In addition, other sources have come to hand which ALSO consist of collections of indexed references to Find a Grave memorials; their provenance is unknown and they have NOT been added to the above "dictionary". Those identified to date are:
Web: International, Find A Grave Index
Web: North Dakota, Find A Grave Index, 1850-2012
