Ok, Calvary single graves book 1885-1912 is finally done. Rita at Mt. Olivet gave me permission to put the book on the website. Please be sure to thank her if you call the office. This couldn't have been done without her extreme kindness! If you go to City of Saginaw and click on Calvary Cemetery you will be taken to a Calvary Cemetery page. You will have the choice of connecting to the headstones or you can hyperlink to a typed transcription of the book. The transcription gives the page of the book it was transcribed from. If you want to see the actual scan you will need to click on the hyperlink " Calvary Cemetery digital images 1885-1912" find the page number and you will see a digital copy of the record. The book was quite large so I had to scan each page in sections and then later piece them together. Many of the pages were hardly readable, so each page had to be enhance to get the clearest image. You will also find a copy of the map of Calvary Cemetery. This also was scanned in sections due to it's size. It was then pieced back together for a complete digital copy of the map. The single graves sections can be hyperlinked to a close up of that section. These sections run around the outer edges of the cemetery. I would love to get access to all the cemeteries records. If anyone has access to any original cemetery records or would inquire about access to scanning cemetery records I would go out and scan them. Please give it a try and good luck! Carolyn
