Is it possible to take the Subway from Manhattan to Calvary cemetery in Queens and not have to walk too far after getting there Ed S.

There are several different sections of Calvary. I recall my mother talking about going there on public transp. in about 1930 and walking and walking forever, it seemed to her. I would think it best to call there, ask someone to locate your graves and give you on-site estimates of the walk, and send you a map to the graves. Or see if you can take public transp. and then get a cab from the end of the public transp. to your gravesite, and wait for you, if walking is a problem.

Dear Ed: Yes, it's possible to get (close to) there by subway. But it will still be a hike away. No, it's not easy to get around there on foot. It's huge. Someone suggested a taxi, which is a good idea once you have the exact location of the grave(s) you want to visit. Make sure to stop into the office or call or write to them ahead of time and obtain the plot location (or an interment list) and a map of the cemetery(ies) - there are four, very large, sections to Calvary. You want to make sure you know where you want to go. You do not want to walk. If you can get to Queens Plaza by bus or subway you can probably catch a cab from there. Best regards.

Ed. I would give Calvary a call - 718-786-8000 and ask them the line . I believe it may be the E & F that might stop along Queens Blvd and the enter into the gate. Also, there is and old and new section and it is large! Find out which section your family is in. regards susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "buddyboy" <buddyboy@total1.net> To: <IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 1:28 AM Subject: [IRISH-NYC] Subway > Is it possible to take the Subway from Manhattan to Calvary cemetery in Queens and not have to walk too far after getting there > > Ed S. > > > ==== IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY Mailing List ==== > Please keep your anti-virus software up-to-date and run frequent scans! > > ============================== > 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 >
