Ottawa at 200 years and on

21 December 2018

Sorry for being slow in posting but I am trying to decide what to do ??

I have some info that may be helpful. AT Ottawa City Archives;

They have a collection of Minutes of Ottawa Council meetings

Of importance is the book for year 1911

There is a listing  of about 350 names that were transcribed from

a cemetery called  Sandy Hill Cemetery which is now called

MacDonald Gardens Park. [ North of Rideau St and west of  the Rideau River]

It is one of the Appendices about page 600?? or so [this from memory]

The burials are from about 1835 to about 1860. This cemetery was closed

and moved to Beechwood Cemetery about 1872??  I believe that these names do not

appear anywhere else but I am in the process of having them added to TONI

[The Ontario Name Index]

which is a listing on names, mainly of  burials, and is located on the website

of the Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society  www.ogsottawa.on.ca

TONI presently contains info on 5,816,548 names.

Ottawa City Archives are located at Woodroffe and Tallman just south of

Algonquin College. Open Tues to Fri.. 9AM to 4PM,  3rd floor, east side

I'm taking the rest of the year off..??
