BOOKs - Birth, Marriage, and Death Notices from the Carleton Place Herald, 1850 to 1923 Genealogy & History Resources By Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society Originally published by Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society, 2015 This edition updated and published by Global Heritage Press, Ottawa, 2017
Every entry includes key information about the event, plus the date of issue of the newspaper that the notice appears in, as well as the page and column the item is on. The introduction for each volume records where the microfilm of, or original copies of newspapers are located. Though these books provide essential information about the event on its own, they are especially helpful when you decide to access the complete newspaper article/notice on microfilm or online scanned image of the newspaper. Because the issue, page and column are provided in these books, you can go directly to the microfilm page that you are interested in, instead of searching through hundreds of pages. The same is true of locating articles and notices in online scanned newspapers (this newspaper is not scanned as of yet, 2016). The reason is that automated indexing (OCR) of digital images of digitized newspapers is notoriously incomplete because of poor quality originals and print types that are not completely recognized by modern OCR. Using these books you can quickly and easily go to the correct microfilmed or scanned page where the notice appears. Sample page (image is cropped) The birth, marriage and death notices are divided into nine volumes, distinguished by date range, and category of vital record provided.
