Cemetery History

Tingwick is a rural village in farm country in the original Township of Tingwick. After the counties were changed to Regional County Municipalities, Tingwick became part of Centre-du-Québec MRC.

The Catholic Parish of Saint-Patrice was founded in 1857 and the first cemetery opened at that time near the church. In 1896 a new cemetery was created and it is presumed the bodies were removed to this new cemetery.

There is a mix of French and Irish Catholics interred in this cemetery. In the early days there was a strong Irish population but today the area is almost all French Canadian.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
