Burial Registers or Cemetery Records maintained by local burial grounds are often helpful. In the larger cities these are sometimes available, even computerized, but you must know which religion—for this determines which cemetery—and be precise as to names and dates. In Montréal, for example, though records for the huge cemetery complex on Mount Royal are computerized, they are divided by denomination: ''Cimetière Notre- Dame-des-Neiges'' (Roman Catholic) and Mount Royal Cemetery for all the ‘Others’. (It includes a Jewish section.) The separate Cemetery offices will search for one or two names but will charge for further work. Both have websites. Gerry Schroder, speaking at the OGS Seminar 2000, made an important point; '''Always find out who else is buried in the same plot'''. There may not be a stone for everyone, but they are usually related. If I had remembered to do this, it would have saved me both time and trouble for several clients - when they wanted information on another branch or generation, I would have had it instead of having to process another query. The two on the Mountain are not the only cemeteries on the Island of Montréal. Where small communities have grown together, in the areas surrounding the city, cemeteries may remain beside local churches. There are cemeteries in the west island suburbs as well as in the eastern end, and in Laval there is the large St-Laurent Roman Catholic cemetery, whose records can be accessed.<ref>Douglas, Althea.
