BOOK - Diary of Deaths recorded by Rev. John MacDonald (R.C.) 1838-1866 (Glengarry County, Ontario)Genealogy & History Resources By Duncan (Darby) MacDonald U.E. Originally published by MacDonald Research Centre, Brockville, 1989 This edition published by MacDonald Research Press, Carleton Place, Ontario 2022 (MacDonald Research Press is an imprint of GlobalGenealogy.com Inc.)
This is the same Rev. John MacDonald who represented the Roman Catholic church in the Perth military settlement in Lanark County from about 1816 to the early 1830s. The content of the book is organized alphabetically by the surname of the deceased, then by their given name. That method precludes the need for an Index of the deceased. However, there is a detailed Index of other people who are mentioned in the book. That means that researchers should check both the alphbetically organized death records, and the 'Index of others' to be sure that you catch every instance of a mention of persons of interest. This book and its companion volume (The BREVITY) were out of print for decades. GHP has republished them in both printed and pdf download formats. Contents include:
NOTE 1: There is a companion volume: Four years after The Diary of Deaths was published, Duncan McDonald created and released the companion volume, The BREVITY of Father John MacDonald - Tythes, Masses, and Notes 1838-1866 which contains extractions of information of genealogical importance from the same diary. The Brevity includes more information about some people who appear in The Diary of Deaths as well as a wide range of different kinds of information concerning many others in the congregation. NOTE 2: About print quality: GlobalGenealogy.com acquired MacDonald Research Centre after the passing of its founder and primary transcriber/compiler, Duncan MacDonald. We are pleased to make his books available under the new MacDonald Research imprint. Each book has been reprinted as it was prepared by Mr. MacDonald, without corrections or additions. Modern technology helped us reproduce the original work in as-good-as, or better quality as that which was originally published. Much of MacDonald's original work was created on a typewriter. His well-worn "masters" were made on a photocopier. We've cleaned them up as much as possible without re-keying all of the content resulting in books that are useful and complete, but of a print quality that reflects the technology of the time in which they were originally published. 260 pages 8.5 X 11" Originally published by MacDonald Research Centre, Brockville, 1989 Original ISBN 0-921133-12-x (cerlox bound) This edition published by MacDonald Research press, Carleton Place, Ontario 2022 ISBN 978-1-77240-199-8 (printed edition) (MacDonald Research Press is an imprint of GlobalGenealogy.com Inc.)
