About the Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Burial Registers, 1766-1983
This collection contains over two hundred years of records for cemeteries and churchyards across Aberdeenshire from between the years 1769 and 1983. The burial registers list all those interred in a certain burial ground, along with identifying information about them (age, address, etc.). In addition to the registers, this collection also has the sales papers for "lairs" (or burial plots) which include the owner's name, the date of purchase, and the amount paid. The contents of the burial registers and sales papers may vary based on year and location. The records are compiled by burial space and then arranged chronologically.
