Website Updates
 

An updated Burials Database as of  February 22, 2023 been substituted for the previous version. An Excel spreadsheet for all the records is in the Gallery and a PDF version is also available in the Galley in two parts - A to K and, L to Z

A great amount of editing has been done to the database since the update in February, 2022. Many of the records only showed the source as a page number for the obituary in the Sudbury Star publications. During the summer the obituaries were found on the microfilms of the Sudbury Star, which are located at the Sudbury Public Library on McKenzie Street. The additional information from these obituaries has been added to the database. Also, another column (Death Location) has been added to the database and as this information is found it, is added to the database.

During September, October and November information from current obituaries and information from 1946, 1947 and 1948 death certificates has also been added.

The Society has digital copies of almost 4,500 obituaries plus an uncounted number of paper obituaries and stories and death certificates of Finns downloaded from the Ontario Archives for the years 1904 to 1948.
