Heise Hill Cemetery, Gormley, ON.


Heise Hill Cemetery sits next to the Heise Hill Church just south of the village of Gormley at the intersection of Woodbine Ave. and Stouffville Rd. The church was founded by immigrants from Pennsylvania called the River Brethren or the Dunkers (now known as Brethren In Christ) in the early 1800's.


The cemetery is still active and very well-maintained.

Reesor Pioneer Cemetery, Markham, Ontario


Reesor Pioneer Cemetery is located on private farmland overlooking the Little Rouge River. It is marked by a masonry entrance with a black iron gate built in 2000 and the burial area itself is enclosed with a white concrete fence built in 1931. There is a cairn outside the burial area honouring the pioneer family of Christian Reesor and his wife Fanny Reiff, and each of their children are named on the stones at the base of the cairn. Most of the burials are connected to this family in some way.


The cairn plaque reads as follows:
This cairn is respectfully dedicated to the honour of Christian Reesor and Fanny Reiff and their extended family, who made the arduous six week journey from Pennsylvania.  They came in five Conestoga wagons and settled in Markham Township in the autumn of 1804.
Celebrating the ties that bind us to our past and to our future generations.

My Cemetery Photo Archive

Welcome to my cemetery photo archive.  I hope you find it useful in your family tree research.

Why create my own cemetery photos website?  I've tried using a public website (www.findagrave.com) to share my tombstone photos with other genealogy researchers, but the increasing number of harassing emails was getting annoying.  A lot of people seem to feel they have the right to demand control of my photos just because they think they can.  The ones who are the worst are the ones who do no actual research themselves but spend their time making demands from people who do.  Others demanded I copy material from other copyrighted websites onto my tombstone pages such as obituaries, property records, or any other info they deemed necessary.  As the nuisance email volume increased (to 100's per week at times!) I realized the only way to solve the problem was to create my own website.

Purpose

This website exists to share my cemetery photos for free with other genealogy researchers. That's it.

This simple purpose statement has some implications.

First, this website does not contain all of my genealogy research.  My genealogy database with over 40,000 names and all of its documented sources can be viewed freely at Rootsweb Worldconnect. Simply click on the person's name on any of the grave pages in this website. Do not ask me where I got the birth year for your Uncle Hugo when his tombstone doesn't show his birth year.  Go to my database first where you can see all my research sources listed for Uncle Hugo.  If you still have questions about the data, then by all means contact me.

Second, this website is not for all your old photos of your Uncle Hugo. If you want to publish those photos, I think that's a great idea and you should create your own website.

Third, this website is not a cemetery photography service.  If you do not see your ancestor's tombstone on this site, that's because I haven't photographed it.  Please don't ask me if I have it in my secret stash of unpublished photos. Assume that what you see is what I've got.

If you find any data errors anywhere on this site, please let me know and I will make a correction as soon as I'm able.  Give me some time though -- genealogy work is never urgent!

A Word About Copyright

You do NOT have permission to copy any of my photos on this website, either to use on your website or for your printed publications.  They are all copyrighted by Darren Arndt, 2014.  However, these photos are free to view on this website and you are certainly welcome to link to my pages so visitors to your genealogy website can easily see the tombstone photos that are connected to your family. This website is hosted by Google, so as long as the Google corporation is around, this website should be around.


I hope you find who you're looking for.
