My grandparents homesteaded near Mundare. In the summer of 1998 we visited a Greek Catholic churchyard in the area -found other family members *with stone monuments from a later time frame. It was obvious that many of the wooden crosses from an earlier time - had not done as well. or no longer existed. The children were born in KRAKOW Alberta. The daughter born in 1898, another born in 1901 and one born in 1904. all passed away the story is that two passed away and were buried. when the family returned the third child had passed away. We contacted Vital Stats but there is no record to be found. The surname has a history of being misspelled, misfiled. I believe that there was not a church in the area at the time - just a travelling priest. In local history books - some do mention deaths from smallpox and diptheria but no time frames given. Thank you again for your help. Cheers, Stella Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
