Arnprior Area BMD Abstracts

The Arnprior & McNabb/Braeside Archives announces availability of birth, marriage, and death (BMD) abstracts online. They are short summaries of birth and marriage announcements, obituaries and death notices from the earliest issues of area newspapers (from the late 1800s up to 1934.) Each abstract is its own searchable record and, where available, there is a link to the digitized page of the newspaper where it originally appeared. The abstracts are from a variety of newspapers, with the Arnprior Chronicle being the most prevalent by far. The complete list of the newspaper titles that were digitized is available here were you'll find more details on the content and how to search.

The Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society gets credit for providing funding for the project.
