But on that result listing is a link to all the listings in the Calvary Section 6 Lot A row 3 that she is buried in. on page 2 of that pop-up is found three Rooneys. but no other Brennans are found in that Lot. as mentioned in a previous post husband Thomas and two of his kids appear all together in the same lot returned by searching on Thomas Brennan in 1906. These three are in a totally different section, section 4. so there seems to be implied different family connections. the related Rooneys in section 6 and the related Brennans in section 4. incidentally, the Calvary cemetery layout map provided by the archstl.org site is very user-unfriendly. i edited their map to create a much more user-friendly version and have uploaded it to this URL: https://sites.google.com/site/spookwar/home/genealogy-files/righted04map.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1 so my guess is the Rooney connection is on the Bridget side of the family. regan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

TYhese records sometimes give mother maiden name and who the sponsors were. So you might figure out the Rooney connection.You fill out the request form online and then they email you. They are VERY good at finding stuff. She can send you a photo scan of the entry record for $ 1.00 apiece by email. I have found alot of additional info from baptisms.
