Description

Transcribed by Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal Register Project

In June of 1843, representatives at the Annual Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada resolved that a General Register of births and baptisms be kept at the Conference office in Toronto . Each year, every ordained minister was provided with a ruled book in which he was required to make uniform entries. At the end of the year, the minister returned this book to the Conference office and entries were copied into the General Register. The result is four volumes, 1829 to 1910, covering mainly Ontario but also a few from out of Ontario.

Experienced volunteers have transcribed and indexed the volumes
