    2. Thanks Pat for keeping us posted. I look forward to seeing the new photos. It should be noted, however, that previous photos only included the gravestones of those that showed the deceaased was born in Ireland. That is a small percentage of the Irish buried at Calvary whether born in Ireland or not. Of the more than 3-million people buried at Calvary, I would suspect that the Irish would represent "only" half that number, so someone has a lot of work to do. <grin> Dan of Pennsylvania, USA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

    3. I have just completed getting all the new pictures online, almost 1,000 in total. Yes, most of the gravestones are of those that mention a place in Ireland. That is the object of this project! We want to find where in Ireland our ancestors are from, it seems to be the hardest part of our ancestry. Many people from other parts of the country whose ancestors started in NY, don't have the chance to get back to NYC and check their ancestors' origins. So, this is a small part of Calvary and a marvelous gift from two who took time out of their busy lives to help others. Suggestion...even if you don't find your name, or even if you do, if you have the time to check out all the pictures, you just might find a gravestone in the background with your name that is not in the index.
