Traveling in Ontario & Western Quebec - The Cemeteries

I returned from my three week trip to Ontario and western Quebec on June 9th, 2012. 

I visited several cemeteries and took some overview photographs of those cemeteries.  I did not get as specific as I have in the past except for a few important ones.  I did not have the time to dally or dither.  The black flies were biting and it hurts.

At the present time I am still trying to catch up my posting regarding the rest of the trip.

What you see listed below are the ones I have posted about and the link to the post for that visit. When I finish up the trip, I will add those additional cemeteries and write about them. 

I will be uploading more extra photos of some of the cemeteries at a later date.  Again, I will let you know when that has been accomplished. 

Here are some links to cemetery websites in Canada that have photographs of the tombstones. Be advised that if it is just the photos of the tombstone it may not be a complete listing of all burials. The Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid listed below is an index with reference to a published transcription so you can check there.
