Title: Mount Royal Cemetery, Montreal photographs
Post by: senteacher on Tuesday 08 January 13 16:54 GMT (UK)

Following the wonderful help I've had finding my family and locating their burials at Mount Royal; can anyone tell me if there are photographs of headstones available anywhere?
My family -  Gladys May Sanderson, her mother Eva May Sanderson and her father William Henry Sanderson - are all buried in Section G-2167-V. Do photos exist or would I have to ask the cemetery staff for one?

Hi,

Have you tried  www.findagrave.com ?

You can join Find a Grave at the previous website which Nanny has posted.

Click onto Questions and Answers look for Frequently asked questions click on How do I join Find a Grave.After you register go to discussion Forums  click on  Cemeteries and Genealogy Research.

State your request and perhaps someone would do the look up at Mount Royal Cemetery for headstones and would be willing to take pictures.

I have posted on their site and had someone take pictures for me.

Hello - I replied Jan 21 to your post at Find A Grave. I'm not sure if you read it or if you now have the photo you are asking about.

I wasn't aware that I'd had any replies. I can only check sporadically. I'll check it out now.  Thank you.

It seems that I am unable to send a PM until I have three posts, but I want to let you know that I have read your post and PM to me.
So this is post #2

I was talking to the staff on behalf of someone a couple of years ago and they said they'd be glad to take a photo. They might have to wait till the snow melts and the ground firms up, but there doesn't seem to be much snow this year. Of course, there's plenty of time for more :)

Most of my family is in Section G as well.

Cheers,
