W.G. Rogers of Carberry, MB Searching for a grave
Hi,
I will be visiting Carberry this July to gather some info about my great grandfather William G. Rogers. He was one of the original pioneers/settlers of the area. He moved away for a time to Vancouver but then returned to Daly where he died at the home of one of his daughters.
Edit: he was born in 1854 and died in 1933.
I know there are two cemeteries in the area. One in Carberry and one near Daly. A search for his grave online in Carberry came up nil. But there really isn't an established database for the one near Daly. I would be thrilled if I could visit his grave, but understand this is a longshot.
Thanks Brook

This is gold! Thanks for your help! We have a few newspaper articles at home, but we don't have this article.

Thanks for this. This is my family. I met (great) aunt ruby a few times when I was young.
I called the cemetery office a couple of weeks ago, but they haven't gotten back to me. It's possible he doesn't have a headstone.
Will the registration number help the cemetery office or is this an Ancestory.com number?
Thanks Brook

Hi, The Cemetery Office - will have information re All the Burials - at their cemetery - whether there is a headstone or not - The Registration Number is from Govt Vital Statistics Registry Office All Deaths, Births , Marriages are required to be registered - with the Provincial Govt Vital Statistics Dept. [ some parents neglect to RegisterBbirths - then eventually - a delayed registration is submitted -when the person requires proof of their birth -eg passport, pension etc]
WHEN - the GOVT decides that the Personal Vital Records are now considered Public Record - the index to information may be put online [ an ongoing project so not all information will be found ] ANCESTRY - has been given permission to digitize the information considered Public Record - they have No Access to information - still considered private Individuals / Families - may submit information to Ancestry - at their discretion. whether the info is public or private
