This part of this site contains download links of indexes to large collections of death notices and obituaries that have been compiled by various volunteers. Also links to cemetery lists are coming soon.

Some links will be to collections on other sites. These will be provided as a courtesy to those doing research.

As you know, determining ahead of time whether a certain archive holds the kind of information you are seeking is a great help to your research, and a time-saver.

GAMEO is planning a large database combining the cemetery lists of all the provinces. We will, of course, work together with them.

MHSS attempts to operate its open access online sites for persons to enjoy and use. Information for the MHSS cemetery project does not necessarily include all of the graves in any given site. Those listed are generally listed by persons who have visited the sites and those listed would be of more general interest to persons searching for their Mennonite roots and ancestors.
