>From The Weekly Genealogist published online by New England Historic Genealogical Society _____ http://www.acc-seattle.com/index.html The Archdiocese of Seattle, Washington, has created an online burial records database for four cemeteries in King County, in western Washington. Seattle is the county seat. Calvary Cemetery, Seattle, was dedicated in December 1889; more than 40,000 individuals are buried there. Holyrood Cemetery, located in Shoreline, was opened in January 1954. Gethsemane Cemetery, just south of Seattle in Federal Way, was officially dedicated in 1975. St. Patrick Cemetery, established in the mid-nineteenth century by Irish immigrants, became part of what is now the Archdiocese of Seattle in 1902. Click "Search Burials," then "Click here to begin search." The database can be searched by first and last name and burial date. You must register to search for a burial location. The initial search result is a name link; click the link to view the deceased's name, burial date, cemetery name, burial location (section/lot/site), and the grave's location on a cemetery map. Additional information may be requested from the cemetery. _____ Apologies for cross-posting to those who already receive this newsletter. James P. Murphy Stuart, Fla.
