Interesting. For the entire post, see the Scots-In-Canada list archives. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SCOTS-IN-CANADA] Burials of Scots in Nanaimo, BC, 1876-1926 Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2002 10:40:40 -0700 From: Paul Shaw <[email protected]> To: [email protected] In the late 1800s and early 1900s, hundreds of Scots came out to Vancouver Island. Many of them worked in the coal mines around Nanaimo. A few years ago, Nanaimo Family History Society indexed the burials in Nanaimo Municipal Cemetery for the years 1876 to 1926. At that time we sorted the list according to place of birth, if known, and posted the results to various lists. There are approx 400 burials of Scots who are buried in Nanaimo in those years. Obviously, there are many other Scots and family members buried here, but whose place of birth was not shown in the record. Burials up to the present day are also available; we haven't added them to our database YET. We have 1926 to 1976 on paper only.
