REGISTERS
There are a number of "Registration Sites" that contain records of
the births, deaths, christenings, and marriages of families. As our
research progresses, I am sure that we will come upon numerous sites, so we have
prepared a folder to file these documents. Please go to each of the Register
Sites shown in the links on the left, where details are provided on what is
available, what results have been found and how you can access these sites to
additional research.
 | OGS REGISTER: Official Genealogical
Site for Scotland - contains information of births, marriages and deaths for
the Laughton clan dating back to the Vigga Homestead in in Holm on
the Orkney Islands. This information provides information on the
family line until John Laughton and Jerome Laughton left for Canada.
Other lines can be followed past that date if they did not leave Scotland.
Detailed work on those lines has not been completed as of this date.

| LDS REGISTER: The community of the
Latter Day Saints has an incredible source of genealogical information on
many nations and many religions, not just the Mormon sect. The original
reference site "Cursiter" has now been advanced with the
addition of a new 2009 Family Search "Pilot Project". This
is a very powerful and modern search engine and data base that quickly
turned up Laughton clan members in Canada, the United States and
Scotland. Other clan members may also show up in other nations.
|
| CENSUS OF CANADA: The raw census
information has been available from Library and Archives Canada for some
time but it was difficult to review and next to impossible to search.
The volunteer "Automated Genealogy Project" converted that
information into readily available and easily searchable data for the Census
of 1901, 1906 (partial) and the key data base of 1911. Most recently,
Library and Archives Canada have added a very good searchable base for the
1891 Census (of great assistance to the Laughton search).
|
| ONTARIO RECORDS: This page contains links
to the Ontario Genealogical Society, the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid and
the new Ontario Death Registry (1869-1847) that has proven to be of great
value for tracking Laughton family members. |
It is anticipated that as this Laughton Family Tree Project
expands we will need access to registers for those members that moved to the
United States of America (USA) and branched out from New York State to Texas,
Arizona, California and elsewhere. We look forward to receiving
information from our Laughton Friends and Family Members from the USA.
