    3. Joyce:Thanks for that info! I have a branch that lived in Astoria, which I haven't been pursuing yet, because it seems I have a cousin who has done so already. I haven't had the time to get his info yet, so I don't know what he has, or how far back he has gone. It also looks like the whole family, whether from Queens or not, have been buried in Calvary, and I will use that site you sent! I did subscribe to the Irish list, but I haven't gotten any postings from them. Can you send me the email address I should use, so I can post and send an introduction?

Pat Connors has a decent Irish website. Joyce From: [email protected] Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Sent: 4/21/2015 2:59:16 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time Subj: [NYQUEENS] Over 400 more Calvary Cemetery gravestone pictures added I have just added over 400 more pictures of tombstones mentioning Irish names online to the Queens County website at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyqueen2/ This is a second batch of photos taken by Rosemary Mulcahy who sent me a flash drive with over 1,000 photos. I now have over 750 of them online and indexed and hope to get the last 300 online soon. After I do that, I have also a bunch of photos sent by others that I are waiting to get online. If you sent me pictures, please do not think I forgot yours. I will get to them sometime this summer. Some of the tombstones have the place in Ireland where they were born which is what most of us are looking for. Also, while each tombstone has an Irish surname there are other names that are not Irish on many of the tombstones. There are now three indexes for these pictures. To find them, first go to the Main Queens County website page at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyqueen2/ Roll your mouse over the headings at the top of the page (not the Ancestry advertisement). When you have the mouse over Genealogy, you will see the names of a number of sections of the website. Click on the one that says, Cemeteries. The Cemetery Page gives you lots of info on the cemeteries located in Queens County, Towards the bottom of the page, you will find a section called, Transcribed Records Online. Click on, 'Calvary Cemetery, Woodside Queens'. That takes you to the first index of the tombstone pictures online. Below the links to those names are two sections dedicated to more pictures with their own indexes: Calvary2 and Calvary3 If you have any questions, please feel free to email me off the list. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
