Summer is a slower time for submitting new images to the Database as folks are enjoying the summer and replenishing their stock of Headstone photos.

As we make our way to the 2 million mark, we would like to thank those again who are submitting for their efforts. As well, we have discovered that genealogists like our data accurate and are submitting corrections as they are found. Your efforts allows us to continue to grow and keep our data as accurate as possible.

Now we have a favor to ask. We are exploring an option to capture further genealogical data and would invite you to explore the following page. https://canadianheadstones.ca/mw19/index.php?title=Mathias_Wilson,_Welland_County

Here you will find a page dedicated to my 2X times Great Grandfather and his Wife. Our question is simple, we wish to capture information as a Template. Do we have the right amount of columns listed? Are we missing anything? Please share your thoughts and opinions or questions to [email protected] – For each page created there will be a link placed on the Headstone Page to bring the user here.

August Updates:

  1. FamilySearch is the first major company to update their index/URL and we are continuing to work with the other 3 Big Companies to updated records on their websites.
  2. Working on User Database with the goal of displaying who submitted the record.
  3. Database work to speed up the process of inserting new records.

So far in 2021, we have added 8,593 Persons and 3,807 Headstones!!

We wish to recognize and thank those who have donated to CanadianHeadstones.com. Your continued support to the only totally non-profit headstone site dedicated exclusively to the digital preservation of Canada’s grave marker heritage.
