The
library's genealogy
collection is regularly used by visitors and local
residents. Following is a partial list of our holdings:
Card Catalogue Drawers: The index cards are classified into Births,
Marriages
and Cemeteries. "Cemeteries" holds a combination of records taken from
tombstones and death notices clipped from the newspaper.
Binders-Family names and subjects: The family names in these binders
are listed
alphabetically. Some subjects you can find are businesses, public
institutions,
sports, etc. During the compilation of the "History of Dundalk" these
binders were used for the organization of information. Audrey Clarke
suggested
that these binders be donated to the library. [Researched information
was also
placed on microfiche and sent to the Ontario Archives in Toronto.]
Filing Cabinet Folders: These contain information that has been
received since
the binders were compiled. Newspaper clippings of births and deaths and
other
family information are included. The cabinet also contains records for
individual cemeteries, microfilm for the Dundalk Herald (N.B. not
indexed and
not complete prior to 1911), and other miscellaneous subjects.
We invite the public to look at the collection and to add information
to the
library's holdings.
