Finding the Records
Many Chinese burials are found in the records of Woodlawn Cemetery in Saskatoon.
The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society website includes a Cemetery Index page. The page provides the name and location of over 3300 cemetery and burial sites in Saskatchewan and includes a list of Cemeteries with Links.
The index can be viewed in several ways:
- Cemeteries by Rural Municipality Name
- Cemeteries by Rural Municipality Number
- Cemeteries in Rural Municipality by Community Name
- By Religion
- By Owner/Operator
- Unnamed
- Cemeteries with Links
The final category links to a list of online cemetery databases. Although few Chinese names have been noted in these databases, there are some.
Saskatchewan Genealogical Society has collected many burial records and entered the records into a general Saskatchewan Residents Index. The Society will search the database on your behalf for a reasonable fee. For more information, see the Society's Research Services page.
An earlier card index of Saskatchewan burial records was filmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah, and can be borrowed from Family History Centres. For more information and film numbers, Search the Family History Library Catalog, using Keyword Search and entering the phrase Saskatchewan cemetery project.
