Place:Avondale Woodlawn Cemetery, Avondale, Saskatchewan, Canada

The Avondale Woodlawn Cemetery in the Avondale district between Asquith and Delisle is a small rural cemetery. It is located within the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No. 345. The earliest recorded interment was in 1904. It is still being used today (2012.)

The cemetery is located on the correction line northwest of the town of Delisle on Avondale Road.

The cemetery office is at the town of Vanscoy, just down the road (to the east) from Delisle on Hwy. 7. Avondale Rd. meets Hwy 7 about midway between Delisle and Vanscoy. It continues on south of the highway, although it does not cross the highway directly. At that point the CNR line is to the south of Hwy. 7.

General Cemetery Research in Saskatchewan

This section is intended to make researchers aware of some of the resources available to them in their genealogical research. Researchers should not rely only upon on-line resources, but due to their easy accessibility this section may appear to focus on or "favour" them.

Internet Accessible Resources

General Sources

• Saskatchewan GenWeb Cemetery Project

This on-going project has summary pages for many Saskatchewan Cemeteries, including information on the location and administration of the cemetery, links to other relevant external web pages and noting some resources not accessible on the Internet. In general, if the cemetery page includes transcriptions there will be a link in the Resources section above. If not, use the link in this section to search for the cemetery of interest.

• Saskatchewan Gravemarker Gallery

The Canadian Gravemarker Gallery was a volunteer supported website maintained by Murray Pletsch. It featured grave marker photos and provided a limited surname search capability based upon up to 8 characters in the file name of each photo.

Mr. Pletsch has retired from his role supporting this web site. An agreement was readhed with the Canada GenWeb Cemetery Project to index and load the photos to their site. This is a massive volunteer effort and many cemeteries are not yet loaded (Jan 2019)

in some cases, the gravemarker gallery pages for a given cemetery may still exist, but the majority are no longer avaiolable.
