Vol 1 - The Lanark Era - Births, Marriages and Deaths 1895 to 1911

By Peter E. Andersen

This is the first of four volumes of careful transcriptions of births, marriages and deaths transcribed from original newspapers and microfilm of surviving issues of The Lanark Era newspaper from 1895 to 1939.  Though the notices begin in 1895, genealogical information goes back much further because the notices with the greatest detail are the obituaries of early pioneers. Also be sure to check Vol 3 (below) for 'the missing issues'... there are some issues from 1903 that are in Vol 3 that are not in Vol 2. 

The Lanark Era did an exceptional job of publishing information about early local families and also reported on many who migrated beyond Lanark County.

About the complete 4 volume series

When volumes one and two were compiled, it was thought that several issues were permanently lost. Five years later, copies of the "missing issues" were discovered in a private collection that had been assembled from auction sale buys over several decades. That collector contributed his collection which enabled Anderson to transcribe the third book in the series -- "The Missing Years". The fourth volume was completed in 2015. The four volumes in the series contain information about more than 50,000 individuals.
