    2. Thank you for the great site. I located and saw the photo of my church, Holy Family in Union City Ann Ann in Farmingdale, NJ In a message dated 6/24/2008 4:00:10 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, willardmiller@comcast.net writes: Rafer The Greenville Reformed Church, Jersey City, Hudson County, NJ was located at the corner of Ocean, at Danforth Avenues.The Church is still there, but has a new name, United Reformed Church, 219 Ocean Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07305, (201) 433-7803. I don't know when the name change occurred.There is no cemetery attached to the church, but located across the street is the very large Bayview-New York Bay Cemetery. Bayview-New York Bay Cemetery Hudson County, New Jersey 321 Garfield Ave Jersey City, NJ 07305 (201) 433-2400 Greenville was a separate municipality when the congregation was organized about 1870, but it was part of Jersey City when this building was erected in 1889. It is quite an ornate building with a lot of surface texture. It is located on Ocean, at Danforth. An old history of the city said it has several stained glass windows made by Lamb and by Tiffany & Company.
