    1. Re: CALVARY-WHAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE?
    2. Rod, The only thing I saw was the date of interment, age and birthplace (country). No parents' name noted. I take the age and birthplace info with a with a grain of salt. The ages were off by at least 12 years on some and one's birthplace was listed as New York instead of Ireland. Even death records from that time period doesn't list the parents' names if I'm not mistaken. Nora Hopkins FitzGerald Hopkins - Castlebar, Co. Mayo/New York City Grant - Drumboniff, Co. Down/NYC In a message dated 3/11/2005 9:01:12 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) writes: There have been a number of messages about Calvary, most indicating that a relative had been buried there, perhaps along with some new found "friends," :-) and a billing for perpetual care. Can anybody tell me if they are able to provide more information than is available from the death certificate. I have a ggrandfather who was buried there in 1895. Would they be likely to have information on place of birth, other than country, (such as town, parish, etc.), parents, date of marriage, local place of worship, other family members, etc. I would appreciate any insight that anyone may have on this. Thanks, Rod in Texas

All it had was info on the father, mother was listed as unknown. Rather strange, it was my GGGrandfather and died at his sons home. Cheers, Ted
