Frank Cyril Swannell Burial - Most likely British Columbia
« on: Thursday 27 June 13 16:51 BST (UK) »
I am looking for my ancestor's burial.  He was the famous land surveyor of British Columbia from ~1904 to Mid 20th Century.  I would like to know where and when he was buried.  He died on the 6th December 1969.

Also, it would be interesting to hear from anyone else researching him and his family as I have done quite a lot of research on him but further information would be very useful!
