I am seeking information on how to determine if two of my ancestors are actually buried in the Auburn Cemetery in Westville. My grandfather, John A. Weatherbee spent most of his working life in Montreal, and while there his wife (Lillian May MacDonald) and daughter (Frances Muriel Weatherbee) died. They were buried in the Cote de Neiges Cemetery in Montreal. On his retirement in 1950, John A. returned to Pictou County, and my late mother (Dorothy Anderson of Green Hill) always said that her father had the remains of his wife and daughter moved to the Auburn Cemetery. However, John A`s surviving daughter does not recall any exhumation. Unfortunately, she is now in her 90`s, and of poor memory. Does anyone know if there are actual burial records for the Auburn Cemetery? The two people in question are on the grave marker, but that does not guarantee they are indeed there. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am in the area several times each year, and if pointed in the right direction I can do the research myself. Ralph Stopps Westcock, NB

There is also an amazing site for Cote de Neiges cemetery in Montreal that actually gives a surname search option as well as Goggle Map closeup. http://www.notredamedesneigescemetery.ca/en/research/locate.htm I searched for surname Weatherbee and received no matches which "might" suggest Dorothy's story as accurate ?? Just for info. Joan in Kentville
