Drum Roll Please....

I PASSED! Yes, the greatly esteemed professors liked my paper and I am now waiting on the finalization of my mark and then I can start the process to get my parchment. And as I promised, I have posted the expanded lists of confirmed and likely burials at Reilly Cemetery so I suggest those interested have another look-- there have been significant additions.

RECAP- the lists of confirmed burials are those whose burial records specify place of burial at Reilly Cemetery or any of its other names. Likely burials are those where place of burial is not listed but the place of residence is Township of Masham and the interred English speaking Protestants (French Protestants had their own cemetery at Duclos). These lists were compiled from the transcriptions that I myself did from microfilm pictures of the original records. These lists are by no means complete as many records were illegible and there are significant gaps in the church records, for example of the 33 people commemorated at Reilly Cemetery I have records for only 13...there could be a LOT more people buried at RC than we will ever know for certain.

I'm going on a week's vacation but when I get back I will have more for your reading pleasure.
