Cemetery, Funeral and Cremation Records[edit | edit source]
Death information in other records is often meager. Used to identify surviving children in church records, and other family relationships. Chinese and other non-Christian cemeteries are particularly valuable due to a dearth of other records.
These records include lists of gravestone burial records, exhumations, cremations, sextons records, obituaries, funeral memorials. Some records begin in about 1550.
These records may contain the following information: Name, age, death and burial date and place, birth date and place, sometimes relatives including immediate family and previous generations.
