Hi Everyone. I have a question and it is something that I have been wondering, but it is purely curiosity...I've been to several different cemeteries where my grandfather and great grandparents are buried. My grandfather's plot is in the L.I. National Cemetery and it was meant for two burials...my grandfather and my grandmother. They were divorced and most likely, if she is even alive (I have yet to find her), she would not be buried with him. This past summer, I went out to St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx, where one of my greatgrandmother's is buried. At the cemetery, I was told that the gravesite is three deep, but only my ggrandmother is buried there. The plot is listed as being owned by her daughter, my gr-aunt, who is also deceased. So there are two graves that belong to the family. My other ggrandparents are in East Hillside Cemetery near Glen Cove. The caretaker told me that there was one more site that belonged to the family. I don't know who in the family owns that one. My question is, if the owner of the plot is deceased, can a family member claim the remaining gravesites? Again, I am just curious and wondering if anyone else has dealt with this type of situation. I am not looking to gain possession for my own burial (I don't live in NY anymore), but what if there were family members that could not afford a plot...and this space, bought by ancestors, exists. I, personally would at least like to be listed as a next of kin in case any other family members are out there looking for my family. Just wondering...any thoughts?

I'm seeking the Graduation photo of John J. Colino, probably in 1936 and possibly from Jamaica High School. I know that he graduated from a Queens High School. Sister Anna Colino graduated at Jamaica in 1935 and I have her Graduation photo online. John Colino was a student at PS 132 Springfield Gardens in 1934. His Autograph Book gives this information. John J. Colino, son of Carmine Joseph Colino and Angelina Meglionico born c1919, Queens, NY d. 15 April 1992 Burlington Flats, Otsego Co., NY Is there any assistance?

I'd really like to get biorgraphical information as mentioned in the email before last. We did an 8 page article w/photo in June 2003 "Blaisdell Papers," but have almost no family information other than Barbara and Bruce - nothing about their families - perhaps even grandchildren by now. They may be interested in the article. We think of Tex as a celebrity and took years to find he was really Philip Eustice.

You may be confusing fees for New York State (Albany) with New York City. They have separate holdings. An outline and current links: Certificates for most New York *State* locations *outside of New York City* are available for $22 from the NY State Dept. of Health in Albany. They charge more ($30) for a certified copy, but the higher price doesn't provide any additional information. Note that Albany doesn't have any New York City holdings, except for Queens and Staten Island certificates prior to 1898. <http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_records/genealogy.htm> Older New York City vital records are $15 though the Municipal Archives. Many of these records -- indexes, certificates, registers -- have also been filmed by the FHC and a portion of them are indexed online at <http://www.italiangen.org/>. The archives recently raised their shipping charges, but they are reasonable. <http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/records/html/vitalrecords/home.shtml> Newer New York City birth and death certificates are available for $15 from the New York City Dept. of Health.

We live in NJ, and my husband and I regularly visit four cemeteries in Queens and Long Island to put flowers on family graves -- and Calvary is one of the four. We try to go every Christmastime and again in the summer. So while we are visiting my mother's grave in Calvary, we'll take a little side trip and find the Smith grave. Yes, I do plan to inform Calvary of their mistake, but I will do that after I have the photo to show them. If only I had found out the gravesite a little earlier, I could have taken care of this during our Christmas visit. But it's OK if it waits a few more months.
