List of Burials - New and Old Cemetery
Update, February 20, 2020 - the Excel file has been posted to the Honouring Our Ancestors Facebook group.

If you are a member of my tree, and are interested, I can give you information on how to link into the tree, to reduce your setup time.

Memorial Mass 2014
On July 27, the Annual Memorial Mass was held at the Pioneer Cemetery. Conditions were perfect, with a warm breeze, which was comfortable and kept the flys away. It was a lovely event, as you'll see in the photos.
The Mass was led by Father Jim Willick, and assisted by Father Gilles, who was visiting from his Parish in Cape Breton.
