DR. W. G. REIVE COLLECTION: CEMETERIES & GRAVES IN NIAGARA $60.00

77 Niagara District cemeteries transcribed by Dr. W. G. Reive between 1926 and 1931 before the damage and erosion that has taken place over the past sixty years erased the information forever.

With most transcriptions are included interesting and useful historical notes about the church and the cemetery, along with personal and genealogical information about the families and the individuals buried there.

Though each cemetery transcription is arranged in alphabetical order, the complete volume is indexed to enable the reader to look up a family name and turn immediately to every page on which that surname appears.

BURIAL RECORDS AND NOTATIONS OF WILLIAM DALTON 1845 to 1916 $80.00

William Dalton was the Sexton at Drummond Hill Cemetery in Niagara Falls between 1877 and 1916. These are the burial records that were kept by his predecessor, Emanuel Pidgeon, from 1845 until 1876 and then by Mr. Dalton from 1877 until his death in 1916. When William Dalton assumed responsibility for keeping the burial records he entered more than just the date and the name of the deceased. He would sometimes include identifying information and anecdotal comments about the deceased and would also describe weather conditions, the location of the grave, and give the name of the undertaker and that of the minister who conducted the service.

This is an invaluable genealogical resource, full of names, dates, and background information that cannot be found anywhere else.

ONTARIO ARCHIVES LAND RECORDS INDEXES for LINCOLN, WELLAND & GLENGARRY CO.'s

Unlike the Ontario Archives Land Records Index, available on microfiche at most libraries, which lists crown land grants alphabetically by the grantee's surname, province wide, or by concession and lot by township, these indexes provide a collection of separate alphabetical listings, by surname of the grantee, of crown land grants assigned in the townships of Lincoln and Welland counties. The Index for Lincoln County contains the original lot assignments for the townships of Caistor, Clinton, Gainsborough, Grantham, Grimsby, Louth and Niagara. The Welland County index offers the same for the townships of Bertie, Crowland, Humberstone, Pelham, Stamford, Thorold, Wainfleet and Willoughby. In Glengarry County are found Charlottenburg, Kenyon, Lancaster, and Lochiel Townships. The headings in these indexes are: Name of Locatee, Lot Number, Concession, Residence, Date Identification, Issue Date, Transaction Type, Type of Free Grant, Type of Lease or Sale, Archival RG Series, and Reference Volume and Page. An index at the end of the book lists the surnames of the people who received land in that county and indicates in which townships listings for each name appear.

Published out of Vankleek Hill, Ontario since its first issue came off the press on Friday, December 15, 1893, this newspaper continues to serve its town and the surrounding communities in Prescott and Glengarry Counties.

BREADALBANE BAPTIST CHURCH RECORDS 1816 to 1991 $150.00 set

1991 marked the 175th year in the history of the Breadalbane Baptist Church in Lochiel Township, Glengarry County. It seemed fitting that this milestone should be commemorated with the transcription and publication of the Minute Books and Church Records of this historic congregation. Though the public has for some time had access to these records at McMaster Divinity College Archives where they have been placed for safe keeping, the records themselves have never been published and made available to people who wish to acquire a copy of their own for more detailed examination. Covering such a long period of time, these records contain a wealth of historical and genealogical information about the early families that settled in this area in 1815 and in the years since. A must for anyone researching a family from Glengarry and/or Prescott County. The book is divided into four volumes.

VOLUME I: CHURCH HISTORY, CHURCH MEMBERSHIP, MARRIAGE REGISTER

Chapter One contains a complete history of the church from its beginning in 1816 to the present time and includes 34 photographs and illustrations. Chapter Two contains several membership rosters as well as lists naming the people who contributed to church levies and subscriptions from as early as 1825. Chapter Three, the Church's Marriage Register, contains records of 221 marriages performed in and around Breadalbane.

328 pages. Indexed. ISBN 1-895473-10-1 $40.00

VOLUME II: MEETING MINUTES AND CHURCH DOCUMENTS

Chapter Four chronicles the actual day to day business of operating the church as its business proceedings are recorded in the minutes of the congregational and board meetings from February 1st, 1851 to December 1st, 1991. Chapter Five contains twenty-seven documents, reports, letters, and memorabilia. Chapter Six is a description of the various departments and committees of the Baptist Convention, a sample church constitution, and job descriptions for the various officers of the church.

568 pages. Indexed. ISBN 1-895473-11-X $60.00

VOLUME III: ANNUAL REPORTS $50.00

VOLUME IV: BREADALBANE COMMUNITY CEMETERY $20.00

The Breadalbane Community Cemetery is situated across the road from Breadalbane Baptist Church on the south half of Lot 7, concession 8 of Lochiel Township. This cemetery does not belong to the Breadalbane Church. It is a community cemetery with no formal connection to the church. However, it has been transcribed and included in the Breadalbane Baptist Church History because many of the people who are buried here were local residents and members of this particular congregation.

A Plot Holder's Map shows the division of the cemetery and an accompanying directory provides the names of the people who owned or own the various plots from the time of the earliest burials.

Burial Permits have been kept since 1962 and these are included for the additional information that they can provide the family researcher: the name of the deceased, the date of death, place of death, and the funeral home from which burial took place. 114 pages. Indexed. ISBN 1-895473-13-6
