NEW BOOKS this week
For a complete list of new publications and resources please see:
http://globalgenealogy.com/new
This week's new titles are all from our publishing arm, Global Heritage Press. All
have to do with the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in Ontario, Canada:
BOOK - St. John's Presbyterian Church, Cornwall, Ontario - Marriages Only (1857-1896)
Compiled by Duncan MacDonald
This book is the result of a chance meeting between the compiler, Duncan MacDonald, and
Jack Schecter, the Librarian/Historian/Archivist at Upper Canada Village. Mr. Schecter
explained to Mr. MacDonald that he had completed a transcription of the Marriage Register
for the years 1857-1896. He also revealed that the original register differs from the
microfilmed materials that are more generally available insofar as Mr. Schecter's
transcriptions include more information from each entry. That chance meeting resulted in
this invaluable resource. More information:

BOOK - St. John's Presbyterian Church, Cornwall, Ontario, Births - Marriages - Deaths
(1833-1856)
Compiled by Duncan MacDonald
This book contains transcriptions of Presbyterian baptisms, marriages and burials as
recorded in the church registers between 1833 and 1856. The first church building was a
log structure on the east side of Pitt Street. The building was referred to as the
"Presbyterian Meeting House". A white frame church was built in 1827 and at the
same the time the first Kirk Session was formed. The church was known as the Scotch
Church. The name St. John's was adopted in 1831. In 1888 the cornerstone of the
present St. John's building was laid. The much larger stone building was officially
opened on March 17, 1889. More information:

BOOK - Newspaper Tidbits, Taken from Cornwall, Ontario Newspapers and Others, Genealogical
Extractions 1835-1906
Compiled by Duncan MacDonald
Duncan MacDonald, the compiler of the "Newspaper Tidbits" recorded in this book,
collected newspaper clippings regarding Cornwall, Ontario, Canada families' for many
years. It occurred to him that an indexed volume of transcriptions of those clippings
would be of interest to others seeking their Cornwall roots. Oftentimes Mr. MacDonald
found newspapers announcements of vital events such as birth, marriage, death that had
escaped being recorded in a church register. More information (including full index of the
people included in the book):
