Mount Royal Cemetery, Outremont, Québec lookup

[JayG]

Does anyone live in this area that can check if a relative has a headstone & take a photo?

Thanks

Jay

Your best bet would be to fill in their search form for the name you want, and they will call you. It's a huge cemetery and you'd need to get the plot number...I think they can tell you if there's a headstone. As far as I know there's nobody in Montreal on RC, but they might be able to help you at the cem...they are really helpful.

Hi China

You following me  LOL

I do have the plot number (both in one grave), it's the same couple I posted the newspaper thread about.

The info i've got came from the cemetery but they never mentioned if they was a headstone for the couple.

Cheers

You hearing footsteps, Jay?

Email them and ask them about a headstone:

Just before Christmas I broadcast an appeal on RC for a baking ingredient only available in Quebec. It seems there isn't anybody anywhere in Quebec.

But I seem to remember phoning them on behalf of someone about a photo of a gravestone, and was told it was an uncommonly snowy winter and would be some time before the monuments came into view. So maybe they can help.

Cheers,

If you don't get the help you need elsewhere, I will be going to this cemetery for my own searching in June and I can get it for you.


What's the baking ingredient??  I am really curious what is available only in Quebec.  My grandmother made the best cookies and we could never duplicate it in Vancouver.  Maybe it's a special Quebec ingredient and we were buying the wrong brand!  We've always wondered.

Hi andarah...another ex-Quebecer?? I didn't know there were any others on Rootschat

I needed some tourtiere spice mix. I had bought some in Loblaws the last time I was home and it was really good...finally ran out. Last Christmas I made a tourtiere from a recipe on the internet, and it was good, but it wasn't the same.

Some very kind Rootschatters tried to help...they searched supermarkets from Toronto to Nanaimo, but all they got was strange looks

I have been in touch with MontrealSA and she says she'll look the next time she's in Loblaws.

Yes, an ex-Quebecer. 

Tortiere spice??  I have never heard of it.  We make it with regular seasonings from the cupboard.  Other Quebecers have tried my recipe and not been thrilled with it, but it's the traditional one in our family.

The thing I pick up when I am there is the St Hubert BBQ sauce packets.  Walmart carries them now in western Canada.



Jay, how did you get the plot numbers?  I have tried and had no success.  I have over a hundred people to search for, so there is no way I am paying $5/search.  It's cheaper to fly there and search myself.  That's what I am doing now, but I would still rather have some information ahead of time to save myself time when I am there. 

From what I recently discovered, there is a Catholic cemetery adjoining Mout Royal.  That was surprising to me since my grandparents were very Catholic and in Mount Royal.  Does anyone have information on searching the Catholic cemetery on the same hill?
