Anthony,
Here are some websites that might be useful.
Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid:
http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/homepage.html
Belleville is in Hastings County.
Hastings County GenWeb:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~onhastin/
The local library might have old city directories, obituaries, cemetery and funeral home records. You could email via their "Ask a Librarian".
Belleville Public Library:
http://www.bellevillelibrary.com/
Ontario GenWeb:
http://www.geneofun.on.ca/ongenweb/
I did a search and there were 38 listings for people with the surname Graham now living in Belleville, Ontario. You could send an old-fashioned letter to them all, just in case:

Is Micheil's name pronounced Michael or Mitchell?
Good luck!
Josephine

Hi Anthony,
If they arrived in 28/29 they should be in this database http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/020118_e.html
It is an index to the passenger records for 1925-1935. If you find them in the index, you can order the entire record, which will give you more details about them - sometimes including how much money they brought with them, the name and address of an employer, friend, or relative in Canada as a contact, and other details.
You can either order the microfilm reel through interlibrary loan and look for the record yourself, or order photocopies from the Archives for a reasonable fee.
I think you will have to try a few spelling variants to find Micheil. (There is only one Michael Graham in the database - could be him.)
Happy hunting!
Martha
