NSMMD - Nova Scotia Cemetery Database

August 22, 2011

I am pleased to announce that all information on individual burials hosted on this site will be transferred to CanadianHeadstones.com, a Canadian non-profit organization that is dedicated to collecting digital images and transcriptions of every grave marker in Canada. This new site will always be free to researchers and fills a real need for Canadian cemetery research.

My site will remain up for the meantime, mainly to help direct Web traffic to CanadianHeadstones. Thanks for your interest, and please support CanadianHeadstones.com!
