The Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador's database of cemetery and parish records is available for research by members and the general public. FHSNL is in the midst of an ongoing project to index all the cemetery and parish records in Newfoundland and Labrador. More than 100,000 birth, marriage, death, and burial events have been indexed resulting in around 500,000 name references. This index can be searched at our research centre in St. John's.
All details found in the parish records or recorded on the headstones of the cemeteries are included in the event records. These details may include names of persons, spouses, parents, and witnesses; places of birth, baptism, and death; dates; and occupations. Everything in the registers has been transcribed to our database. We are currently working on parish records from St. John the Baptist (Church of England) and the Basilica (Roman Catholic, marriages 1874-1905) in St. John's; and King's Cove (Church of England, marriages and burials). The parish records listed below are currently in our database, which can be searched at our Resource Centre.
