For Miriam, I got a very nice letter from Holy Cross Cemetery. There are 7 Antone Silvas. One of them might be, but not sure. I will check death record and obituary later. Do Catholic Cemeteries Archdiocese of San Francisco check on cemetries for Holy Cross Cemetery(Menlo Park), Mount Olivet Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery(Colma)only? Are there more cemeteries of SF beside than above? Thanks, Adrienne Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Hi Adrianne, The Cemetary Department of the Archdiocese of San Francisco run all three of those cemetaries.If you give them a call at 1-650)756-2060,they shoulf be able to tell you if they have the information on the different cemetaries.If not, I'm sure they'll give you the phone numbers and addresses needed.Their address is P.O. Box 577, Colma,CA 94014 and in 1992 when I last corresponded with them, they had all 3 cemetaries on their letterhead. There are plenty of cemetaries in the Bay Area but all of the burials in San Francisco have been relocated to Colma as far as I know.If you look up on Google.com the words "San Francisco Genealogy", I think they may list other cemetaries.There are no other Catholic cemetaries in Colma.Mount Olivet is in San Rafael across the Bay from San Francisco and Menlo Park is in the South Bay - both pretty far away for someone who died in S.F.

Miriam No not all of the old grave sites, were moved to Colma, no matter, what a lot of people in San Francisco, say. For I know that for one person's tomb, a large Pyramid, was moved to Mt. View, in Oakland, in 1902. Would loved to find out how they did that job. He was Senator William Giwn, one of the first two Senators form California. Also I have seen in the records of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, that people were moved from their cemetery to different ones, in California, and even some cases to other states.
