Diane, If your search takes you towards Fredonia - you'll have crossed the county boundary from Erie Co to Chautauqua Co. There are wonderful genealogical resources for Chautauqua Co. Many cemeteries and old newspapers have been indexed. The indexes are published in books. You may be able to find someone on the Chautauqua Co mailing list who can go to the Fredonia, or Dunkirk public library and check the index books. Dunkirk was a significant city with a port on Lake Erie and there was a railroad that linked Chautauqua Co with New York city so many immigrants went to Chautauqua Co and then migrated north to Buffalo. Good luck with your search. Sheila sgtnysp@roadrunner.com wrote, On 2/21/2010 8:47 PM: > Diane, > The Catholic church in Evans is Most Precious Blood located in the village of Angola. There Cemetery is located at Rte 20 and Main St. I don't think it's called Holy Cross like someone said and it wasn't in existance until after your folks left. Prior to that, Catholics were usually buried in Fredonia NY which is abt 20 miles away and has several Catholic churches and cemeteries. > They took them there by train. If I were home; I could check the books I have on Angola and Evans and maybe give you better info. on churches, cemeteries and dates. If you google Evens NY History etc it may take you to one of the books I mentioned and you can read the history and see when the church started etc. > > Kevin > ---- DLCulhane@cs.com wrote: > >> Thanks so much, Kevin.
