Tim, Have you tracked the family in census records? That is the best way to locate them. I did a quick scan of the indexes and the 1880 census index shows the family in Covington, KY. The 1900 index shows Gerhard still in Covington but now as a widower and 5 of the adult children are still living with him. In 1910 Mary & Clara are living with their sister Bertha and her husband in Covington. It looks like George is married and still living in Covington, but Henry may be boarding in Cincinnati with a Mollie TURNER. NO sign of Gerhard....perhaps he died by this time? The index shows a Joseph JAMSON the right age and birthplace, living in Covington with a wife, 5 children and his mother-in-law. 1920 index shows a Joseph JANSEN in Covington and it looks like Henry may have moved back to Covington and is now married. You might want to subscribe to the KY-CENSUS-LOOKUP mailing list here: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Census-US/KY-CENSUS-LOOKUP.html and request census transcriptions for these families to track them further.

Hi, Debi Would you happen to have the contact number for the Mother of God cemetery? I believe all my Dedden and Rolver family members are buried there and I would love to get a full listing on them. Thanks so much, B Brewster

About a year or two ago I called the Cemetery and asked them to fax me all the burials for Klostermann/n. They were very helpful and I had the faxed list showing burial location for each one within an hour. Debi Snow

Here is a little information that help you pin point your information. Buena Vista Cemetery (Also known as Old Mother of God Cemetery or St. Joseph Cemetery), Covington Location: Madison Avenue and 26th Street, Covington, Kenton County Established: 1849 Owner: Mother of God Parish Closed: Yes, a majority of remains were re-interred at the new Mother of God Cemetery Burials: German Catholics of Covington and vicinity Records Available at the Library: KR 976.935 S156j History: The cemetery was established in 1849 as a parish cemetery for the Mother of God congregation (the second oldest Catholic parish in Covington). The original deeds for the property were signed by Bishop Purcell of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (this was before the creation of the Diocese of Covington in 1853). From the beginning, however, the cemetery also received burials from other German-Catholic parishes in the area. The cemetery filled quickly, and by the late 1800s was nearly full. At this time, Mother of God Parish began plans for the establishment of a new cemetery in Latonia/Ft. Wright. When the new Mother of God Cemetery opened, a number of families decided to re-inter their loved ones. Between 1900 and 1960, Buena Vista, or old Mother of God Cemetery, fell into a disrepair. Vandals did much damage to the headstones, and a general lack of maintenance had taken its toll. At this time, the Diocese of Covington agreed to lease the cemetery property to the City of Covington for $1.00 per year for recreational uses. Before the lease took effect, however, efforts were made to locate all the remaining graves and to move them to the new cemetery in Latonia/Fort Wright. The only reminder of the old cemetery is a fenced pen housing several stacks of headstones that were removed when the graves were re-interred. _Online Records Available_ (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gruber/kentucky/Buena%20Vista%20Cemetery.htm) -------------------------------------------- Mother of God Cemetery, Latonia/Fort Wright Location: Madison Avenue and Latonia, Covington, Kenton County Established: 1887 Owner: Private, Board of Trustees (Roman Catholic) Burials: Regional Cemetery, Predominantly German CatholicsRecords Available at the Library: Microfilm - CEME-M 1-8History: By the 1880s, Buena Vista (or old Mother of God Cemetery) was reaching capacity. The need for a larger cemetery was addressed by the members of Mother of God Parish in 1887. On November 29 of that year, the Mother of God Cemetery Association of German Catholics of Covington was established. The association's primary task was to purchase land and lay out a new cemetery. Over the ensuing years, Mother of God Cemetery evolved from a parish cemetery to a regional one. Trustees began to be chosen from the various German-speaking Catholic parishes in Covington. The cemetery contains a beautiful crucifixion scene sculpted by the famous Covington sculptor Clement Barnhorn. The cemetery is also the resting-place for the famed Covington artist Frank Duveneck. When the Diocese of Covington Cemetery Office was established in the 1960s, the trustees of Mother of God Cemetery decided to remain independent.

Mother of God Cemetery Kenton County, Kentucky 2701 Latonia Avenue Covington, KY 41015 hope this helps Jewell

Thanks for the quick responses to my quiry about Mother of God address. I have my letter typed and ready to put in the mail. Again, thanks to those who responded so quickly. Jane

Latonia Ave. is correct. I have relatives buried there. Bob in Florida

I would use 41015. Good luck, Betty

I would like to write to Mother of God Cemetery in Covington, Kentucky to inquire about a burial. I have found two addresses for the cemetery. Madison Avenue Covington, Kentucky 41011 2701 Latonia Avenue Covington, Kentucky 41015-1096 Two different zip codes. Would someone tell me which of the above two I should write to. If it is the Madison Avenue, what is the number? Much appreciation for any assistance. Jane in Florida

Pat, Thanks for the information. I don't see any immediate connection. Catherine was widowed sometime between 1843 and 1852. She had two children: Stephen (b: 1844) and Cordelia (b: 1852). Sometime before 1870 they moved to Rush County, Indiana, but by 1880 Catherine seems to have returned to Covington. After that I lose track of her. I don't know her husband's name. It may have been William. And I don't know her maiden name. Which makes tracking them more difficult. Thanks for your help.
