For those who expressed interest in the outcome of my original post, I contacted Old Saint Patrick's Cemetery 212-226-8075 and was told that all cemetery records for this cemetery are held at Calvary Cemetery in case you run into this situation in your tree. I called Calvary Cemetery 718-786-8000 and found out that these records are considered archival records and that the archivalist does not work on a regular schedule. I will need to send a snail mail request for this information. There is no cost for this, it is just that it requires a by hand look at the records by this certain person who has a limited schedule. I was told the records are not detailed or complete so I may never find the answer as to the burial location but most likely they are still at Old Saint Patrick's Cemetery.

That's very interesting information! It's good to know what happened to those graves/records, as I may have cause to need that in my own research. Thanks for sharing. I would also be interested in knowing how long it takes to get information from Calvary, and whether they ask for money in the end. I was told when I contacted them several years ago that they can locate information, but you have to pay for each record/name of person in each grave you are interested in. I was also told they have quite a backlog. In my case, it's likely to be the gold mine I need in order to find out more about my Irish family, especially those who were born over there, or for stillbirths, infant deaths, and other deaths that occurred when death certificates were not mandatory/enforced. Please keep us posted regarding your journey!
