Working on Ontario Cemetery Categories

Question

Hi everyone,

I have been working diligently away at the Ontario (Canada) cemetery categories.

The first thing I did was clean up and standardize the Ontario Cemeteries category, here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Ontario_Cemeteries

With that done, now lays ahead the task of standardizing the cemeteries within each region. It may be a bit OCD of me, but I also want to take the opportunity of identifying all cemeteries within each region, whether they have their own category pages or not. I have started with Hamilton, but it isn't finished just yet. Have a look here: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Hamilton%2C_Ontario%2C_Cemeteries

I value anyone's input on my progress so far. Cemeteries are a bit of a passion of mine, so I don't mind putting in the time to get this right.

Thanks for taking on this much needed project.  Another resource I've found useful is the Canada GenWeb Cemetery Project.  Here's the Ontario page: http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cancemet/ON/

I haven't compared its coverage with the Headstones or the Gravemarker sites, though.

Thanks Meg!

Yes I'm familiar with the GenWeb projects. I am definitely using that as a source!

Good.  I just didn't see it listed with the other sources you list on the category page.

You are totally right.

I have updated the page with ALL my secrets ;)
