NL GenWeb Headstone InscriptionsConception Bay North Region ~ Port de Grave DistrictPort de Grave - Roman Catholic CemeteryThe following information is from my notes made during a visit to this cemetery in the mid-1990's. At that time there was no intention on my part to post this information and so I may have omitted some of the less salient details. I am posting it now in the hope that it may be of help in someone's search.Headstone inscriptions were collected and compiled by FRANK CORBETT, mid 1990s. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there could be some typographical errors. |
