Transcriptions referencing nearly 300 cemeteries in Hastings, Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties have been released free for Quinte Branch members to view, a value of almost $1500.00 if purchased individually. Many of these cemeteries are obscure and abandoned, having no public information available anywhere else.
