Howdy, Since I no longer live in New Jersey, I can use a little help. My 3rd great grandmother, Jerusha Rowe, died on November 24, 1880 in Greenville, NJ. Her death certificate clearly states she was buried in the "Dutch Reformed Cemetery". Her husband Peter Rowe, followed her over 30 years later on September 24, 1913. His death certificate also says his place of burial is the "Reformed Cemetery" as does an obituary from the Jersey Journal newspaper of the day. I have always assumed that this is refering to the Refomed Cemetery on Bergen Avenue, opposite the Bergen Reformed Church. However,after over a year of making contact with that church, they were unable to find any reference to the Rowe family { understand that the so called 'church historian' denied that the death certificates stated they were buried there, despite very clear handwriting on both certificates. It is my understanding that sometime in the early 1920's, a number of graves from this cemetery were relocated to another Jersey City cemetery due to the expansion of the Boulevard that runs past the graveyard. This could explain why the church could not find any reference, although I would think initial burials would be listed. Anyhow, does anyone know which other Jersey City cemetery the graves from the Reformed Cemetery were moved to? And also, do you know an address or someone familiar with this other cemetery that might be able to research these burials for me? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, my grandfather Peter is listed on the Jersey City website as one of the founders of the Greenville area, the family homestead was later sold to what became the Greenville Hospital { now closed} and it would be nice to find out where in Jersey City he is laid to rest> Rafer aka JonQPublix@aol.com **************Need a job?

Hi Penny Are you sure you aren't looking for Harsimus? (Which I believe is now a part of Jersey City.) Harsimus Cemetery certainly is in Jersey City, anyway, and there are several mentions to it in a quick Google search of the name... If you want something more definitive - see if you can find a copy of the book "Guide to NJ Civil Boundaries". I would look at my copy for you - but it is still packed since I moved recently. You should be able to look up Harsimus in the index and find out where it is now and what jurisdictions it has been under for which years. Regards, Joan Joan M.

My oldest sister and I grew up in Jersey City. My sister (Kathleen McCormick Magura age 85)) went to St. Michael's RC High School with Margaret Flaherty who became a lawyer. She lived in Sayerville, NJ for many years. She had a brother Eddie (Brother) who my husband also knew and he thinks he became a monk. They grew up in the Greenville section of JC I think. If this is of any help I can find if my sister would know her mothers name. Hope this helps.
