How to find burial records in Westmorland Co., NB?
« on: Monday 10 February 20 21:27 GMT (UK) »
How would I find out who holds the burial records for the Steeves Settlement Cemetery in Westmorland County, New Brunswick? I don't think there is a church there anymore.

Google Maps shows a church, well maintained as is the cemetery.  Its actually called Steeves Settlement United Baptist Church.  Find a Grave has 80% photographed. 

You could contact the Havelock Baptist Church which still operates and is 5km to the west or the one at Lewis Mountain which is about 7km to the east.  Here is the Baptist Church link https://baptist-atlantic.ca/tools-resources/church-locator click on the two churches it will provide contact information or fill out the https://baptist-atlantic.ca/contact-us form and ask who would have the burial books.

Thank you yet again, Don; I will contact the Havelock Church. Find a Grave is great but only has the transcriptions on the stones as you know and many others never had a stone. Burial records can be hard to track down and often have been poorly kept but one can always hope!
