Searching the Past

How does one attempt to find a gravesite? It’s not exactly the topic at a luncheon and could be considered rather morbid.

While Mitch worked, I researched the location of my grandparents’ gravesites in Lethbridge, Alberta. Surprisingly, I discovered a picture of their gravesite cemetery. I found it surprising that cemetery caretakers actually do this. While I silently thanked the person for doing this, I wondered how we would locate it. Although I doubt the cemetery is the same size as Arlington, I am somewhat wondering if we can easily find it. It’s a flat stone, surprisingly similar to my mother’s.

One may ask the reason for doing this. The drive, the border challenges, and the unknown may be enough reason to say no, but it came down to my father. A conversation about his life in Canada and what it looks like is worth it.
