We’ve had exciting news from our partners in Salt Lake City today (August 29). 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 Burying Ground (Potter’s Field) 1826 to 1855
- Toronto Necropolis 1877 to 1935 (1850 to 1877 were already available)
- Mount Pleasant Cemetery 1876 to 1903
This is exciting stuff. The more recent records include plot owners and next of kin names and full addresses. All indexed.
You can also search by year or place of birth or death. Just as a test tonight, I found 26 people born in Chicago, 210 born in Montreal, and 8 born in Todmorden. Think of the possibilities this type of access opens up!
Congratulations to all the volunteers who help make these records available to researchers around the world.
There are more records in progress: Mount Pleasant Cemetery 1904 to 1935, and Prospect Cemetery 1890 to 1935. A lot of names.
