Black History Month is here—a time to celebrate, learn, and reflect on the remarkable contributions of Black Canadians to our shared history and culture. At Ottawa Public Library, we’ve prepared an exciting lineup of events to inspire, educate, and connect.
The 2024 edition of the Ottawa Book Awards has been written with three local authors winning the prestigious prize.
We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our local authors:
Church records contain information on baptisms, marriages, and burials, and usually also give the date of birth and death. Church records are particularly valuable for the period before civil registration began, or when the civil registration record cannot be found. Beyond baptism, marriage, and burial information, church records may provide information about an ancestor’s place of origin, year and place of settlement, family members, etc.
Cemetery records and headstone inscriptions provide valuable genealogical information. Gravestones will usually provide birth and death dates, as well as names of spouses and other family members. Cemetery records, or registers of burial, are maintained by cemeteries and may contain more detailed information than is found on the gravestone. Cemetery records are especially important if the person was buried without a headstone, or if the inscription has become illegible over time.
