Index Database
**Updated
May 2009, over 514,000 names added**
Searchable online and
accessible on the research library computers, this database is
an index to more than one million names included in the hundreds of genealogies, family
histories, and pedigree charts deposited in the branch library. Also
included in this index are many of the published works in the collection
such as cemetery transcriptions, baptism records, business and residential directories, local histories, parish
register transcripts, newspapers, surrogate court wills and funeral cards.
This computerized finding aid allows patrons to quickly find their
ancestors in all of the branch resources, particularly those that don’t
already have an associated index. Indexing of the collection is an ongoing
project by volunteer members.
CemSearch Database
**Updated
Aug 2009, now includes 371,675 records**
Accessible on the research library computers, this database has been
jointly developed and maintained by the Quinte Branch, OGS and the
Lakeshore Genealogy Society in Cobourg. It currently contains 371,675 tombstone inscriptions covering 806 cemeteries in
100 townships in Central Ontario. The database is
indexed by surname and maiden name (where known) making it easy to find
burials in the coverage area. Contributions are by both OGS and
independent societies and include many cemeteries for which published
transcripts are not available. The full Monumental Inscription is included
giving more information than
other web-based resources and the cemetery can be browsed to look for
other family members. The wide area covered by the CemSearch
database makes finding the right cemetery for your ancestor in the Bay of
Quinte area and Central Ontario quick and easy. The database is
updated annually.
