The email from Mount Royal Cemetery just arrived!
I'm so excited, I'm practically singing the Canadian national anthem!
The fact that my grandmother is Canadian probably means that I should have learned their anthem too. Even though Americans largely think they're too good to learn anything about Canada.
NO! SHUT UP! FOCUS!
Here's the email they sent me:
Hi Mrs. Collins,
I have received your online request and I have searched our records and I have found;
Name: Muriel Michaels nee Ince
Widower of Albert Michaels
67 yrs. Old
Date of birth: October 30, 1913
Date of death: January 2, 1981
Date of burial: January 6, 1981
Birth place: Nova Scotia
Place of death: Royal Victoria Hospital
Burial location: L 7153-A
Thanks,
Grace Polifroni
(She called me Mrs. Collins. I still get excited when people do that! Sorry, newlywed thing.)
So not only did I get her burial location and the rest of her birth information, I got a SPOUSE! Now you need to understand why this is so intriguing to me.
I am thrilled that such a breakthrough only cost me $5. I couldn't be happier with the information I received. Anyone else who is thinking about buying information from the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, do it. It's worth every penny.
