Barbara I'm so glad you were able to find out more information on other family members. They were very helpful when I found relatives there, too, letting me know everyone who was buried in the same plot. Yes, it does seem rather macabre to name a baby after a previously sibling who died as a baby or small child. But, as you said, it was so often the case.   Lisa * * * * Paper and Pawprints - http://paperandpawprints.blogspot.com Design Team Member for DigiStampBoutique - http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/ ________________________________ From: Barbara Kiersh <barkie@bellsouth.net> To: "nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com" <nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com>; "NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com" <NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 2:03 PM Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] cemetery is lutheran all faiths A big thank you to Jim and everyone for their suggestions.  Not only is my great grandmother Jeanetta Lazrus buried in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery but she's also buried with her grandson Rudolph Kern.  He was a stillborn and died the same year as Jeanetta - 1887.  The woman in the cemetery office was very nice and very helpful. I didn't know anything about this child.  Her daughter Charlotte married Rudolph R. Kern and they had a son Rudolph Jr. born in 1888.  I thought Rudolph Jr. was their first child.  I think it's a little creepy to give a new baby the same name as a previous still born baby.  But I guess it was the custom.   Barbara ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYC-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
