Cemetery Transcriptions

An ongoing project of the OGS is to record all the gravemarkers in Ontario. York Region cemeteries are listed in the "Directory of Cemeteries in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Regional Municipality of York", published by the Ontario Genealogical Society, Toronto Branch, 1989. York Region became a separate branch of OGS in January 1998, and all of the cemetery publications for this area were passed on to York Region branch from the Toronto branch in Spring 1999. Over 87% of cemeteries in York Region have been transcribed. See also York Region OGS Cemetery Transcriptions that are completed and available for sale. 

Places of Worship Records Inventory

This OGS mandated program is designed to prepare an inventory of the records of all places of worship in historic York County. The growing computer database will provide information on access to the available parish registers. To date over 2,000 places of worship have been identified, representing more than 50 denominations and more than 50 ethnic communities. Volunteers visit congregations searching out and examining early records in order that they can be identified and catalogued. List of York Region OGS Places of Worship Records available for sale.
