One additional tip (among many) When you request information, provide some clues other than a name. Consider this. If you were paying a professional researcher wouldn't you provide them with as much information as you have? You sure don't want to pay for them to provide you with what you already have. For example don't just state that they were buried in St. Louis and you are looking for their place of burial. You might say: JOHANNA MARY BUCHHOLZ Born 4 Sep 1888 Belleville, IL Died 1959, St. Louis MO Buried Where?????? Religion: Catholic, attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and Our Lady of Good Council Lived in North St. Louis City. What you might get in return Died: 28 Oct 1959, Deaconess Hospital, St. Louis, City, MO Entombed 31 Oct 1959, Calvary Cemetery Mausoleum, St. Louis, City, MO You have reduced the lookup to a few Catholic cemeteries rather than checking all the cemeteries in St. Louis and St. Louis County. Note in the above answer I have St. Louis, City and not St. Louis County. They are two separate entities. This may not be as important in smaller communities, but take New Baden, Clinton Co., IL for example, there are now 5 cemeteries. Three are collocated in the Village of New Baden and they are not separated by fences, while the other two are a bit out on the highway, one Catholic & one public. Believe it or not there are well over 200 burial locations in the St. Louis City and St. Louis County areas.
