This can be a big challenge because official records of recent decades are often hidden to protect privacy. There are common ways around this limitation.
1. Ask relatives who are
still living, if they can provide you with information, or if they
know who can.
2. Look for them in online obituary notices and
other records from newspapers. (Google the family name and
location.)
3.
Use local/community history books.
e.g. Alberta
Local History
Books

4. Look for relatives in cemetery sites like Find a Grave. https://www.findagrave.com
An
Example of What You Might Find at Find a Grave:
This
is about as good as it gets on Find a Grave: photos,
bio,
parents,
spouse,
siblings,
children,
sources.
It
depends on what other
users
of Find a Grave have contributed. You can contribute too.
