You will find bits and pieces of information on those interred in Calvary but know they are supplied by family members or someone who walks the cemetery and copies information from tombstones. Calvary cannot do a search for you. They will give you a list of burials in a particular grave for a fee if you can supply them with either the plot information or the date of death. Elizabeth V.

Sorry if I missed this, is there a list available for this cemetery on line? I'm trying to locate a John Wisniewski who died in Queens and is supposed to be at this cemetery. He died sometime in the early 1930's??? Thanks joanne

Please feel free to use this list as you see fit. Section 1 Range 4 Plot 9 Grave 12 Recorded in the name of Maggie Mc Elroy Deed #98 Purchased on Jan 1, 1901 Catherine Gallagher Mc Elroy age 60 buried 12/26/1900 born NY* Mary Flaherty age 46 buried Jan 31, 1908 born Ireland Mary E. Mc Aloon age 1 buried November 21,1910 born in US Margaret Mc Elroy age 50 buried 1/9/1915 ** * I know for a fact Catherine Gallagher Mc Elroy was born in County Tyrone, Ireland as she was the sister of my great grandfather James Gallagher. ** This is also an error. Margaret Mc Elroy was born in NY and had purchased the plot when her mother passed.. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Echterbecker, Hugo and Adelaine Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WUB.2ACI/1385.4.1 Message Board Post: That's interesting indeed. You know Hugo left my dad and Hattie (his wife) in around 1909. He left for another woman who was obviously Adelaine. My Dad had told me that he was dead, instead of what really happened. At that time it was to be ashamed that they were even family when they did that. I found out that when my Dad was about 30, he went to see his dad 'Hugo', and came back very bitter and never wanted to speak of him again. The third marriage listed on here is interesting. I wonder if he left Adelaine and married someone else? I would like to see if anyone knows who that is. Sounds like Mr. Hugo couldn't keep his pants up. Anyhow, if anyone knows the third wife was (or maybe it was just Adelaine?) then I would love to know who it was. Also, is that an address on the bottom? What city/state?

I have one date 1875. I can't see it right now, by I remember it has bride and groom's names, and signatures, their parents names, birthplaces, witnesses, who may be relatives you can research, and lots of other stuff. Worth the getting! Judy in Ca

Has anyone seen a cert from this time period? Would you kindly tell me what information it contains? Thank You Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

Thomas and Elizabeth emigrated from Cornwall, England and . In 1900 they lived in Calumet ,HoughtonCounty,Michigan with a daughter Ruth. In 1910 they lived in Rockland Twp,Ontonagon County,Michigan with their children Ruth,Harold(Arnold?) and Pearl. Elizabeth's maiden name was Elizabeth John Jeffrey Beare.

According to "Genealogical Resources in the New York Metropolitan Area," pub. in 1989, the Marriage License Bureau (for Queens) is at the City Clerk?s Office, Queens Borough Hall, 120-55 Queens Blvd, Kew Gardens NY 11424; phone 718-520-3665. I hope this information is still current. It?s important to mention that you are his daughter and it wouldn?t hurt to provide a xerox copy of your photo i.d. when you send in the application or letter of application. What you receive may be a newly-prepared transcript of the license, rather than a photostat of the original. It will contain the grooom?s age, birthplace and names of his parents. Use that information to look up his exact date of birth if he was born in New York City. The annual index books are at the New York Public Library in Manhattan, on the first floor. I have posted information about that dozens of times at Ancestry.com. When you get his exact date of birth, go to this website : http://www.people-finders.ws Input his date of birth in this format: 01-04-1936. Input his name. If they don?t have him, try this website : http://ssdi.rootsweb.com It has an Advanced Search which accepts dates of birth. Reg Niles

I checked the 1958 edition of the "American Medical Directory" and they spell his surname differently : Basil C. Maclean, born 1895, office in Manhattan. Using that birthyear, I checked the Social Security Death Index : http://ssdi.rootsweb.com They have Basil Maclean, born Dec. 24, 1895, died Feb. 1963. The names of his parents would be on the SS-5 form he filled out when applying for his Social Security card. If $27.00 is no problem, you can apply for a copy by clicking on "SS-5 Letter." The website says it takes several months to obtain a copy. If you decide to seek his obituary, I suggest you try The New York Times first---of the many daily and weekly newspapers published in New York City. Members of the NY Genealogical and Biographical Society have access to a special database of the Times. Reg Niles P.S. The 1951 "Medical Directory of New York State" has Basil Clarendon MacLEAN in Rochester, NY, as director of Strong Memorial Hospital. The 1954/1955 edition of "Social and Health Agencies of New York City," p. 231 shows Basil C. MacLEAN as commissioner of the Dept. of Hospitals, City of New York.

The latter one is a strictly Jewish burial place. Physical closeness is not usually the determining factor in the decision as to where a person is to be buried, however--religion of the deceased is usually much more of a factor as to where they will be buried..... For instance, if your people were Roman Catholics, they would be more likely to have been buried in Mount Saint Mary's Cemetery in Flushing, or in Saint John's Cemetery in Middle Village.....
