if you know the date of your relatives death date you can phone the archdiocese of glasgow 0141 226 5898 who will give you information

or else email [email protected]
with details of name age date of death of relative

although the term snail mail applies to the above

Sighthill Cemetery is only a stone's throw away from Port Dundas. I, too, have rellies who lived in Dobbies Loan and worked on the Forth and Clyde canal. Failing that, if you email or call the Mitchell Library, they should be able to help you.
