I am also very interested if anyone has entered the names at Birchwood cemetary in Swan River. To date does anyone know if this has been done?

And I too, would like to know if anyone is photographing or recording in any way. My great grandfather, James Paterson was buried in this cemetery. He died in 1924, was born in scotland. Was living with his son at the time of his death.

You will see that Birchwood has not yet been transcribed
but there is mentioned on the page the name and email of a person who may be willing to do lookups.

There are already 18 names entered for this particular cemetery. Perhaps if 'virtual memorials' got created for the people that one _knows_ are buried there, some local graver might eventually undertake to photograph and post pictures of the corresponding headstones. It's worth a try . . .

And besides that, it's a _terrific_ website reference for any genealogist! =])

Hello Leone, so thrilled to receive a response. I'm looking for a grave marker for James Paterson. i have notes from the records of the Funeral Director at Swan River. James Paterson died July 10, 1924. Grave description is N 1/2 plot 23 block 2. If you could send along a photo or the transcription that would be terrific. I live in Ontario, my father (James' grandson) passed away May 2009, I continue with my research in memory of my dad - John Calder Paterson.
