Yup, two once more!

It's late in the month, and I obviously need to catch up on my sleep. So, these are gonna be short, but helpful, I hope!

1. Saskatchewan Cemeteries Project is an effort to transcribe and/or photograph/index the 3300 cemeteries and burial sites in the province. As of October 2, they've reached 848.

2. Dick Eastman writes about an illness unique to French Canadians, Mednik syndrome. You can read more about it by visiting his original post here.

Good night!

Researching Canadian Graves

There are three websites that are helpful when researching Canadian graves/headstones that I've learned about and have had good things said about them: Canadian Headstones Photo Project, the Canadian Gravemarker Gallery, and CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project. You definitely need to explore each of them to see which one might be most useful to you. I'm also certain that if you have headstone photos to share, each would be pleased to have your submission.

Now, where did I put those photos from Galt (Cambridge, Ontario)?
