Mark & Tim: Home Sweet Home and variations was another name for Saint Alphonsus Cemetery. I believe this came up on this or another e-list not too long ago. Saint Alphonsus was a Catholic Cemetery which virtually stopped functioning in the early 20th century. By 1960 it was sold and converted into a parking lot! Records (in German) are the property of Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery, however the caretaker there is highly protective of them, often denying that they exist. If you put a request in writing and are specific about the name and date of the deceased, you might get an answer, or at least a bill telling you how much it will cost. Furthermore, the person who deals with these books cannot read German much less the 19th century script. So, take your chances and let me know. Can you tell I've had less than a positive experience?
