[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Yellow Grass Cemetery

[Joan Meyer]

I am a member of the SGS and I will contact them this week to see how "they located" these graves.  The knowledge of this site and the people buried there have been in my family and a few others for many years. Yet we were never taken to the exact location.  I wonder if the info that SGS has was obtained from oral history.  My goal is to definitely pinpoint the site and have if officially marked.  

Thanks for mentioning this and I will pursue it.

Joan

The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society has the Yellow Grass cemetery recorded.  They located three graves in 2003 -- Deering, Teske, and Domres.  They have the cemetery located at NW 27-10-17 W2. You can contact them for the information they have on file.  If you are not a member of the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society, I can get the information for you in a couple of weeks.
