		<description><![CDATA[by Jane E. MacNamara I’ll admit to getting sidetracked from time to time with an intriguing entry in a burial register—hard to resist digging a little further into some of the stories. But sometimes the information is almost too easy to find. A burial register page for Mount Pleasant Cemetery for January 1911 showed the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you to all the volunteers who found time to work on the Toronto Trust Cemeteries indexing project in 2012. Every name indexed is appreciated and it has been gratifying to see part of our efforts available for researchers. In fact, a few grateful researchers are now volunteers on the project. A special thank you [...]]]></description>

Another installment of the index we’ve made with the help of our partners at FamilySearch.org will become live and searchable on FamilySearch.org overnight. (It may take a little longer to update the intro page.) The new records will be: York General [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of our FamilySearch indexing volunteers, Vera Reed, came across a familiar name while working on the burial registers of Mount Pleasant Cemetery for the Toronto Trust Cemeteries project. Vera writes: Luigi Von Kunits was born in Vienna in 1870 and died in Toronto in October 1931. He is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. He [...]]]></description>

James Keith Harbottle died on April 1, 1897, age 37 years, 11 months. He was buried in plot C 17 12. Harbottle was the popular master of the steamer Chicora*, a vessel that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our Toronto Trust Cemeteries project volunteers pushed well past the target of 6,000 records for the month to index more than 7,500 records in January. Each of those 7,500 records—all for Mount Pleasant Cemetery—represent two or three names: the deceased, the plot owner, and the next of kin. What an amazing boost this will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As volunteers on the Toronto Trust Cemeteries project, we&#8217;re creating an index to some wonderful records. Generally, we transcribe words exactly as we see them, including abbreviations—so Wm or Eliz don&#8217;t become William and Elizabeth. But in indexing the places of birth, death, and addresses of the nearest relative, we have the opportunity to use [...]]]></description>

Thank you all for your contributions to this total. Forty-three volunteers participated in the Toronto Trust project in 2011. As I&#8217;ve said before, there’s no quota and every page you index is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As family historians we know that we should look at multiple sources for every fact we add to our tree. Three sources is a good rule of thumb, but “a reasonably exhaustive search” is required by the Genealogical Proof Standard.
