What is in This Collection?[edit | edit source]

This collection will include records from 1816 to 1982. These records include the card file index from the information that was gathered mostly from headstones, but sometimes from death registers. Each card generally includes the name of the cemetery, the name of the individual, date of death and age at death. Often includes other details such as parent's names, birth details, burial date, or other details about the headstones. Besides the cemetery records there are also cards representing military veterans from "rolls of honour" and "war memorials" as well as some passenger lists of military personnel. Also includes data culled from a few Church records.
