    3. Hello! I am new to the list. My family has a very brief history in Middlesex Co. Laura Amanda Koivisto Honka was my great grandmother. She was married to Toivo Honka. She was born in Finland on 23 JAN 1899 and died 14 FEB 1931 (or 1932 or 1933). My grandmother was about six years old. They were living in New Brunswick and Laura was hospitalized for TB. My grandmother remembers living above an Hungarian grocery store. My grandmother is turning 80 years old this year. My goal is to find out where her mother is buried in NJ. My grandmother always heard it was in a cemetery in Plainsfield (or could it be South Plainfield?). I have searched the available cemeteries on the Tombstone Project page. I plan to begin contacting cemeteries. My questions are: What hospital in New Brunswick would have treated TB patients? Were TB patients buried in the community cemeteries? Are any of the local cemeteries primarily Lutheran, Finnish, or immigrant? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Kim in AL KOIVISTO, HONKA, JARVINEN, KOSTINEN
