DAR Unpublished Cemetery Records of Niagara County 1969

Since the 1910s, the Daughters of the American Revolution have been transcribing unpublished records to help preserve them. They then publish these as part of the Genealogical Record Committee (GRC) Reports.

To learn more about these reports, you can read my blog: https://jeanettesgenealogy.com/dar-grc-reports-part-1-of-3-background/.

One of the GRC Reports is a 208-page volume (#317 of the Cemetery, Church, and Town Record Reports) from the DAR Niagara Falls Chapter (of which I am a member) of records that were copied from the Niagara County Historian’s Office.

The report lists the name of the person that was buried, born, died, and the name of the cemetery.

Here is the FamilySearch link to the volume (#317): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSS9-J4SZ-S?.

Multiple volumes were put on the same microfilm reel. Here is the breakdown of the images:
