Society members have catalogued the tombstone
inscriptions for cemeteries in our region. All of the major cemeteries and
many of the smaller ones in the North Okanagan and the Shuswap areas of
British Columbia are included here. In addition we have catalogued most of
the cemeteries in an adjacent region, the Arrow Lakes (Columbia River
Valley) region. Smaller, family type cemeteries are located from time to
time and these are added as soon as they have been indexed.
A society
member has been part of a project to index all of the Doukobor cemeteries in
the Slocan valley, Castlegar, Salmo and Grand Forks areas
and may be found at http://www.doukhobor.org/Cemetery-Index.htm
The inscriptions on the tombstones have been recorded
as found, without editing. We attempt to resurvey each cemetery once a
year with the exception of those which are no longer being used.
In some cases personal knowledge, cemetery plot plans
or other clues enable us to provide information that might be of use to
anyone doing a genealogical search. By using the Records of Death archives
of the B.C. government it is frequently possible to assign dates to those
buried in gravesites that do not have headstones or other markers. Where
such
information has been included it is prefaced with the heading "ARCH:"
or "Archive"
Society members may be able to provide further information
on the families or persons listed. Write to Box 1447, Vernon B.C., Canada,
V1T 6N7 or e-mail verfamhist@shaw.ca
