Dear Kevin and Rika, I have a book purchased from Ancestry entitled "U. S. Catholic Sources, A Diocesan Research Guide". St. Peter's belongs to the Diocese of Metuchen, P. O. Box 191, Metuchen, N. J. 08840. My book tells me that records are maintained at the Parish level and also the fees would be determined at the Parish level. It also lists the addresses of the two cemeteries. Writing a letter there might be helpful, explaining who you are looking for and giving all the information possible that you have. I personally have written to Churches, mostly in the Pennsylvania area with very kind responses. The time span I am interested in is 1901 to 1906. If you live in NJ, the State Archives in Trenton has a wealth of information, such as birth, marriage and death records on microfilm.. I live in the area and would be happy to send you any further information such as addresses and telephone numbers.
