Hello,

I've been trying to trace my father and have come across his name in Alameda. If I understand correctly there's a book or some such thing called From Dream...To Reality and apparently Harvey Gurka is mentioned on page 146. My father was born on December 3,1919 (I'm assuming this information is correct) and I don't know where but I'm curious about this reference. Can anyone tell me anything more about the Harvey Gurka mentioned, or the publication.

Thanks

Christine

Hi Christine, I searched the history book site, but found no mention of your Dad. All history books are not on-line. This is a link to the Sask. cemetery site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~cansacem/index.html Just scroll down to Riverside Memorial Park and click on it. There are two other Gurkas buried there that may be his Parents. Hopefully an obit will be found. Butch
