Riverside Cemetery, Dunnville
Does anyone know where the records for Riverside Cemetery in Dunnville are kept? A local municipal building? Any clues would be appreciated as I am not from the Haldimand area. Thanks, Tim

The grave markers have been read by the local Historical Society. Copies of the listings are available at the Dunnville Library (an alphabetical list for the entire cemetary), Selkirk Library and the Cayuga Museum (Selkirk and Cayuga is alphabetic by section). A listing was made available on computer disk by the Dunnville Cemetery board but it is no longer available (as far as I know) but Barry House has one.

I am looking for the burial plot of John FEAST who died c the summer/fall of 1865. The family lived abt Lot 12, Concession 1 of Moulton Twp. A volunteer at the Dunnville Library said they did a search of stone transcriptions, but there was nothing for a John Feast and they had not heard of the name before. This is understandable because the family was only there from abt 1860/1861 until the father died c 1865, about 5 years. Are there any interment records for cemeteries in the area and who would I contact? It is possible that John could have been interred in Moulton Twp, or down towards Dunnville. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Carolyn,
I am afraid that there are no records for Riverside Cemetery in Dunnville before the 1940's. There are transcriptions of the cemetery, but no record of actual burials. I was informed of this by the cemetery administrator herself.
However, you may try contacting the Haldimand Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.

As a far as I know, none of the Cemeteries for Haldimand Co are listed on the web, although they have all been transcribed

Basically I am looking for interment records, not stone recordings. The reason, I am told that there is not stone for a John Feast. I have looked at the church records for that area which survived, but there are no burial records from the United Church Archives for that area.
