Alberta Family Histories Society is honoured to have been featured in the Western Wheel, a local newspaper targeting the town of Okotoks and surrounding area. On July 8, 2025, journalist Ted Murphy published an article focusing on recent AFHS efforts to photograph the large Okotoks Cemetery (approximately 4,000 headstones). Ted also mentioned our cemeteries project, albertaancestors.ca and how that site can be a tremendous asset to genealogical research. A photo featuring our own Ron Gilmore, Director of Marketing, was included in the article. Thanks to Ron, our Cemeteries Lead Wendy Schultz, and her team of tireless volunteers who made this photo shoot a reality! Read the full article here.
