Genealogy
Cataraqui Cemetery is an excellent source for family genealogy to help you build your family tree. The Cemetery's registries go as far back as 1850. When you consider the old "Quaker burial ground", Cataraqui has almost 200 years of burials and memorials. Some of the earliest markers at Cataraqui Cemetery were moved here from other Kingston burial grounds. The numerous markers and headstones are informative to individuals seeking their ancestral roots. Did you know that prior to the 1950's it was the responsibility of the family, particularly the Interment Rights Holder to note and record the location of any interments within their family plot? We and others would certainly appreciate any updates and information that you may have so that we may complete our records and registries.
