Oxford County Ontario Cemeteries

Dave Cooper maintains the Oxford County Genweb page. One section of this genealogy site took me 10 years to amass, the Oxford County Ontario Cemeteries Webpage at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dcoop/

This cemetery webpage consists of more than 100,000 headstone photographs, maps and information of all 102 cemeteries found in the County of Oxford. Each cemetery contains a list of existing surnames as well as the corresponding headstone photograph. Be warned, the webpage does not include every burial, only those with a decipherable headstone engraving. Viewers and relatives have added plenty of missing headstone information and I have included it with the headstone photograph and or surname.

If you wish to add information to the this headstone photograph site, feel free to email me anytime at oxfcem@bell.net
