Charlene, Are you referring to St. Francis DeSales Cemetery on Bunker Hill Street in Charlestown? According to David Allen Lmbert's book "A Guide to Massachusetts Cemeteries," the Archdiocese Archives has burial records 1833-1890 and cemetery lot sales 1834-1849. Contact info: Archives of Archdiocese of Boston, 2121 Commonwealth Ave., Brighton, MA 02135; 617-254-0100.

Cemetery > I am trying to find out more about the Catholic Cemetery in Charlestown. I believe my g g grandmother was buried there in 1834. I have written letters in an attempt to learn more about the cemetery and where the records may have been kept. I was told that probably no records were kept. I read the book Fire and Roses and I get the impression that a Catholic Cemetery was established in Charlestown in 1830 by Bishop Fenwick and that in 1834 a caretaker house was built even though the cemetery was "a target for threatened violence". > If anyone knows anything else about the cemetery, I would appreciate so much being contacted. Were there burials there after 1834? > My g g grandmother was Hannah Moakeler (Moakler) and she was buried 26 Nov 1834. She was the wife of Michael Moakler. > Thank you, > Charlene Hyde > charh22@silverstar.com > > > ==== BOSTON Mailing List ==== > Boston Historical Society: > http://www.bostonhistory.org > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
