I've just located the graves of my late father-in-law's first wife and child. Thanks for this.

On the topic of Alberta cemeteries, I wonder if some of your readers might be interested in the site Prairie Souls. This web site was put together by a lovely lady named Nelda Burwash, and she's taken pictures of gravestones in cemeteries in north-east Alberta and a few in Saskatchewan. If your readers have ancestors in the Albertan counties of Bonnyville, Lamont, Smoky Lake, St Paul, Strathcona, Sturgeon, or Two Hills, or in the Saskatchewan municipalities of Eye Hill or Senlac, they might find some relevant images, not only of gravestones, but some views of the cemeteries as well. I was delighted to find the grave of two key ancestors in my husband's tree.
