The Aurora Public Library has Mr. Chase's book plus an earlier one done by Michael Fichtel. If you are working on Sacred Heart Cemetery it is best to check both.

What was Mrs. Wiener's maiden name? My aunt and dad both attended Sacred Heart Church Catholic school with Father Simard (not sure of the spelling) My dad was born 1916 and my aunt 1913. Lola Fermazin Robert Fermazin They lived on State Street. My dad spoke French and German. Would Sacred Heart have any of the old baptism records or did the church burn down a few years ago and all the records destroyed? I think I was baptised at Sacred Heart and also my sister. -----Original Message----- From: Pirone, Mary Ann [mailto:mapiro@aurora.lib.il.us] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 12:46 PM To: ILKANE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [ILKANE] Aurora has a French section The Aurora Public Library has Mr. Chase's book plus an earlier one done by Michael Fichtel.
