HOW THE COLLECTION HAS BEEN ARRANGED
The Elgin County Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has arranged its material by general subject groupings, as outlined in the Table of Contents for this Finding Aid.
Each book or publication has been placed in a cardboard magazine holder or red plastic holder [throughout the Finding Aid referred to as “box”]. Each “box” has been numbered and labeled with the title of each book. Each book also bears a sticker with the number of the “box” in which it belongs.
Other material has been placed in binders, which have also been numbered.
Please note that this Finding Aid lists only the material in the library collection. For information on additional resources in Elgin County, consult the book “Discovering Your Roots in Elgin” which can be found in the library or on the Elgin OGS website: www.elginogs.ca
ELGIN COUNTY CEMETERY TRANSCRIPTIONS
Transcriptions of all known cemeteries in Elgin County are found in the white binders on the side shelf in the George Thorman Room.
Researchers are advised to consult our website: www.elginogs.ca where updated and revised transcriptions have been posted. Many of the cemeteries have been updated and corrected, and this information will NOT be found in the binders. Elgin OGS has also been adding information regarding burials without monuments on the website.
Exception: Transcriptions for the larger cemeteries in the townships of Aldborough and Dunwich have not been posted on the website. For those, only the indexes and some burials without monuments will be found.
ST. THOMAS CEMETERIES: Please be aware that when compiling the indexes to St. Thomas cemeteries, several other sources were used, including records held by the cemeteries. Therefore, you will find reference to interments without monuments in these indexes.
Records of interments without monuments from the Old English Cemetery and St. Thomas Cemetery, West Ave. have been posted on the website.
The website also contains contact information for cemetery offices or custodians of any records that may exist.

NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS
Clippings from area newspapers of births, deaths and marriages are found in the wooden filing cabinets in the centre of the George Thorman Room. This collection is best described as “miscellaneous”, but dates approximately from the early 1980's to the late 1990's. Newspapers included were mainly the St. Thomas Times-Journal, the Aylmer Express, and some London Free Press and Tillsonburg News.
Newspaper Clippings, continued:
The clipping project continued in the late 1990's and up to the end of 2001, but the collection was placed in binders, as follows:

Newsletters of all the branches of the Ontario Genealogical Society are found in the black four-drawer filing cabinet. Newsletters of societies in Atlantic Canada and the Canadian West are also on file. The collection consists of issues dating back five years.
FAMILY HISTORIES
The Family History collection of Elgin OGS has been integrated with family histories belonging to the St. Thomas Public Library, and can be found in the glass cabinets and the open shelves below.
A separate collection of unpublished family material has been filed in the black three-drawer lateral filing cabinet, labeled “Family Files”
The collection has been arranged more or less alphabetically by surname of the principal family listed on the history.
Family histories that were bound, either hardcover or softcover, with a title on the spine; or histories in binders, were NOT put in “boxes”, so these may be slightly out of alphabetical order with the ones IN boxes.
Below is an alphabetical list of the family histories on the shelves as of October 2006. For a cross reference of other surnames which might appear in the title, the researcher is advised to consult the current copy of “Discovering Your Roots in Elgin”, which can be consulted on the Elgin OGS website: www.elginogs.ca or in printed format in the George Thorman Room.
There are 25 boxes labeled “FH 1" through “FH 25". The corresponding box number will appear following the name of the family history. If there is no box number given, it means that particular family history is either hardcover, softbound, or in a binder.
