Jeanette, Thank you so much for the information about St. Patrick's cemetery. You also gave me a clue for finding some other ancestors. An aunt told me that "a lot of the Irish" relatives are buried in New Cathedral. Now I have a better frame of reference and some ideas on how to connect things. Thanks also for the tip on the book. I will be hunting that one down ASAP.
