That is an excellent question, Joanne - and it is one for which there is no easy answer! Believe it or not, there is no existing list of interments within the churchyard cemetery or for the burial crypts below the church. Nobody at the Archdiocese of New York seems to know with certainty at what point those records were lost, but they do not exist anymore. I have found a few articles that have recorded gravestone inscriptions in the cemetery - this work was done by a few ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution back in the early 1930's - and the offices at Calvary Cemetery have a plot map which lists the surnames (only!) of some of the original plot owners, but not even one half of the plots have names associated with them, unfortunately. There are not too many legible gravestones left in the cemetery, either. What I have done is to do extensive searches in old newspapers and in the New York City death liber microfilms to note where a person in question was said to be buried - but if there is no headstone remaining to read, we have no idea *where* within the cemetery that the person was buried. There are other complications in doing this type of research, but I could go on for hours about the uncertainties of doing research in this cemetery - but this isn't the place to go into all the things I've discovered! Do you suspect that you have relatives buried there?
