In 1914, a parcel of land in Old Kildonan was acquired to become the first Polish cemetery in that district. However, because of its location, the site was deemed impractical at the time. The Holy Ghost community founded a Polish Roman Catholic Cemetery in May of 1942 in the district of Riverside, on North Main Street.

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0565), transcribed by a member or members in 1986 and updated in 1995. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).

Additionally, the Ogniwo Polish Museum centralizes, curates and makes available extensive records from various groups related to the communities established by the families of Polish descent who settled lived in, died in, or contributed to the story of Manitoba.
