I have just discovered the grave of my grandfather (James Carney 1887-1922), my ggrandfather (James Carney 1863-1917), and my ggrandmother (Margaret Sullivan Carney 1862-1887) at Calvary Cemetery in New York City (Woodside, Queens). The people at the cemetery office are extremely helpful, but you do need a death date to make a start. I took a guess at my grandfather's year of death and bingo! got a death certificate for him from New York City municipal archives. They will search a range of 5 years at a time and a range of boroughs of the city (charge for each of course). From that death certificate I learned that he was buried at Calvary and called for the location of the grave. Then went there to see if any others buried in same grave but the tombstone was not readable. The cemetery office did a search and reported the grave is final resting place of those above plus a baby Thomas Carney, aged one year, who died in 1890, and two persons whose names are not familiar to me: Sarah Windrum aged 39 at time of death in 1935, and Catherine Harris aged 65 at time of death in 1936. Then sent for a death certificate for Margaret Carney and learned that she was the daughter of Michael Sullivan (born NY) and Mary Sullivan (birthplace not readable but we believe she was an Irish immigrant -- she was living when my father was a child so we know a little about her). I don't know if this helps you (or any of the other Carneys on ROOTS WEB) but there are names in common: James and Margaret. Possible your Patrick born 1835 was part of the same New York City Carney family and then emigrated to the West? Also, while I was walking thru the cemetery I noted a tombstone for Patrick J. Carney died 11/13/49, Eileen Carney 1934-1988, and Margaret Carney died 4/11/92. Don't know who they are, but maybe somebody recognizes names and dates. Calvary Cemetery is located at: 49-02 Laurel Hill Blvd Woodside, NY 11377 718 786-8000 New York City's Vital Records has a website that will direct you how to request information for specific records/dates. Hope this helps somebody! Lynn Atkinson Atkinlynn@aol.com
