Canadian Gravemarker Gallery


I just recently became aware of this free gem: The Canadian Gravemarker Gallery. From their April newsletter, comes the following description: 

"The Main Objective of the Canadian Gravemarker Gallerywebsite, is to collect and process COMPLETELY PHOTOGRAPHED CEMETERIES from across Canada. We place the photos online as a valuable free-access resource for genealogists, both professional and amateur. In addition though, we have found that genealogical societies, government agencies, monument companies, consulates, cemetery owners, funeral homes, and curious descendants of those buried also show a keen interest in our online cemeteries. 

The Canadian Gravemarker Gallery shows over 1,247 completely photographed cemeteries and over 711,073 photographs from across Canadaare searchable online.

COMPLETE CEMETERIES ADDED/UPDATED THIS MONTH: 

1. Ontario, Northern Ontario, Kenora District, Dryden, Municipal Cemetery- Catholic Block.
