Tombstones or gravestones may also exist, or the information on them may have been transcribed. In Saskatchewan many local organisations are working at photographing, video taping and transcribing the cemeteries. Cemetery burial records, sometimes called internment records, often include birth, marriage, and death information. These records along with symbols on a gravestone may provide clues about military service, religion, or membership in an organization, such as a lodge. These records are especially helpful for identifying children who died young or women who were not recorded in family or government documents. Visit the cemetery in person to see if other relatives are in the same or adjoining plots. | Tombstones or gravestones may also exist, or the information on them may have been transcribed.

To find tombstone or cemetery records you need to determine where an individual was buried. The person may have been buried in a community, church, private, military, or family cemetery, usually near the place where he lived or died or where other family members were buried. You can find clues to burial places in local history books, funeral notices, obituaries, church records, funeral home records, death records, scrip and homestead land records. | To find tombstone or cemetery records you need to determine where an individual was buried.
