I've been trying to get info about relatives buried in Mt.Royal Cemetary, however when you click on to get the page required to enter info, it says the page is not available. Any ideas on how to get around this? Anywhere else to go?

ReplyDeleteIs the cemetery at Cote des Neiges have a web site to browse
through? My Irish Catholic relatives are buried there going back to
1900 I think.

Cote des Neiges is the Catholic Cemetary and yes they have a web site where you can find the plot number of people buried there. www.cimetierenddn.org
ReplyDeleteHi VReader9, Try this link http://www.cimetierenddn.org/en/default.asp
ReplyDeleteI believe the site isn't fully up and running yet I think. I was able
ReplyDeleteto write an email to them from that particular page you gave me though.
That would be great if they have every single burial recorded for
online viewing! Even if there is a fee as long as it is affordable.

Hi Bill, In the link that I listed you can go under the heading Services and there is a section for Locate a Deceased fill in the form and you will find all that have been buried there under that name and it will give you the plot number and all information as to who bought the plot and all who have been buried in it. I have used it many times. You do not have to have all information asked. Danny

I do searches all the time on Cote des neiges for free if you want to pay someone $40 an hour for what you can do in 10 minutes well what can I say - if you make $80 an hour at your job you may not have a problem paying someone else $40 eh?
ReplyDeleteHi Bill (SecondAve), As you know, research in genealogy may require quite time and could be costly. Do it yourself is always the best way !! Here are 2 sites (free or low cost services): 쨌 ancestry.com http://www.ancestry.com/ 쨌 The Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints, (The Mormons): http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Home/FAQ/frameset_faq.asp BTW, you will find a lot of infos by a simple search with google: Ex. Cooper and genealogy generates 435 000 answers ... (Obviously, the research profile should be refined by inclusion of more characteristics) JM
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley (ShirleyBH2), I agree with you ! I often searched on the data bank of Notre-Dame-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery: http://www.cimetierenddn.org/en/default.asp I always found what I was looking for ... and it is free ... JM
ReplyDeleteThanks J-M! As usual there was a good response from everyone. Now, all I have to do is go through routine and see what comes up. Thanks again everyone! Art
ReplyDeleteArt - I found that using the least amount of information worked best - for instance I am looking for James Doyle husband of Eliza Groves - if I use that I might get nothing but just doing James Doyle oh and 1946 lets say brings up my grandfather but if I type in Eliza Groves and put my grandfather's name James Doyle I may get nothing since she died after and I dont know if she is listed as his widow = sometimes the spouse's name is a hinderance because if she died first or he first it may not be listed so the damn computer is looking for a match.
ReplyDeleteCombien de personnes savent qu'il y a 4 cimetières sur le Mont Royal: Cimeti챔re Notre Dame des Neiges Cimeti챔re Mont Royal Cimeti챔re Juif Espagnol et Portugais Cimeti챔re Shaar Hashomayn How many people are aware that there are 4 cemeterys on the Mount Royal: Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery Mount Royal Cemetery Jewish Spanish and Portuguese Cemetery Shaar Hashomayn Cemetery.

ReplyDeletehi art, when you enter the name under search threr were no results for my parents uncles or cousins, this has prompted my husband to search with still no results. next on the agenda is a trip to montreal this summer to check it out. patsy
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish cemeteries are not so well known as they are on the northeastern side of Mount Royal (accesible from Forest Road, I believe it is called. Forest Road is in turn accessible from Mount Royal Avenue where it ends at its western limit (before it climbs the mountain as the Camillien Houde Parkway.)

"Patricia" and "Shirley", Thanks for your input. I'll be giving it another go later, but it sounds like I'll have to visit the cemetary office during my visit as well. Who knows, we might even meet there! Art
ReplyDeletePatricia - are you sure that your relatives were buried at Cote Des Neiges - the search link is to the Catholic part - if you find just one relative you can link back by just keying in the plot number Like section ND whatever and browsing who all else is buried there should all be family in the same plot.
ReplyDelete... but it sounds like I'll have to visit the cemetary office during my visit as well. Who knows, we might even meet there!

ReplyDeleteI tried to find my grandmother (Annie Foy) who died in the 30s, but to
no avail. I'll be in Montreal in July, so that cemetery might be a
place to visit. I am sure it is beautiful. Anyone have a tip as to
where to stay that won't break my humble bank account? Maybe a B&B in
or close to Verdun.

ReplyDeleteHi Shirley, must be a brain cramp, The family was buried in the Russian section, Patsy
ReplyDeleteI got a response from a B&B in Verdun a couple of blocks from where my
ReplyDeletefamily lived on 2nd. So thank you for the perfect tip. Btw I haven't
been there since the 70s and only briefly. Is there something I
shouldn't miss during the week I'm there. I want to see my old flat at
457, and maybe the current occupants will allow me a visit if I ask
nicely. I am a retired seaman, and on occasion I'll dream we dock at my
front door on second Avenue!

Hi Bill (SecondAve) ! As you are interested in the history of Verdun, I would suggest that you visit the site of Soci챕t챕 d'histoire et de g챕n챕alogie de Verdun Centre culturel de Verdun, Salle Canadiana 5955, avenue Bannantyne H4H 1H6 Tel.: 514 765 7174 http://www.ville.verdun.qc.ca/shgv/ There, it will be possible to have access to many doduments on the history of Verdun, old newspapers, maps, directories, etc, ... Concerning Verdun today, I think you already have Verdun Handbook 2005-2006 (PDF-5.7 MB) http://verdun.ville.montreal.qc.ca/a24-en/publa24a.asp Map of Verdun (2004): http://verdun.ville.montreal.qc.ca/a24-fr/carta24f.asp Hoping this will be of some help ! JM
ReplyDeleteHi Bill: I was in Verdun this afternoon and went by 457 2nd avenue. It is a bit rundown, the flat to the left of it has Christmas lights still hanging around the top of the balcony! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a camera with me. I have been making a list of photos to take and place on this site, including three areas of shabby Montreal streets where you can see streetcar tracks protruding from the broken pavement. I have also seen the new location of Emile Restaurant (of spruce beer fame) but have not had a chance to try their wares or take a photo. There is also some construction going on at the Nat; don't know what is being done. Ralph.
