Passing forward the help of others, in locating the burial sites of our loved ones, and honoring our pioneer ancestors in Central Alberta, so that they will always be remembered.

Suggested Edits:
FindaGrave guidelines now show that memorial managers are responsible for researching edits, and edits are to be accepted or declined based on their research, or the research that is sent to them. When suggesting edits, please include your primary sources (ie birth/death/marriage registrations, etc.) by transcribing them in the bio section. FindaGrave guidelines encourage us all to use the "Genealogical Proof Standard." I do my best to verify incoming edits, and don't consider unsourced information on trees as a source for edits. If primary sources are not included, and if I'm unable to verify within a reasonable amount of time, I may decline, asking that you resend with primary sources included. I receive many suggested edit errors, almost on a daily basis, which are copied from unsourced information appearing across various family history sites. Some of this information is being reproduced across many tree sites, and is almost useless due to inaccuracy.
