Bill~ Thanks for the "E" mail address. Will use it the next time I am trying to get info from the Diocese archives. I have had no problem what so ever with Calvary either by phone or personal visit. I was trying to find my g grandfather at one time. They told me he was not in the grave but his name was on the stone. He died in a ship disaster in 1875 somewhere on the Great Lakes. Who was in the graves, and that there were spaces left. Since my g grandmother was the first one buried, I assume she purchased the plot. It's location etc. was explained. Have asked for their assistance on 3 other occasions for other ancestors without problem. Maybe I just hit them on a good day. To contact the parish house for a look up could be a problem. The parish priests, in some cases just one, really can't handle genealogy look ups. Working through the secretary in the rectory is iffy at best. Some are quite gracious but all have told me that I must make a personal appt./visit to the Rectory for a marriage/baptism certificate. Have never been able to get it handled on the phone. St. Pat's on Bridge Ave supplied my husband and I with the needed certificates with seal when we were applying for Irish citizenship several years ago. These were from 1878-1899-1935. I forget the donation amt. Just data was refused. St. Malachi's referred us to the Archives and 6 months+ later we got data and no certificate. 3 months later we got stamped certificate from 1870 and 1871. St. Patrick's West Park, we were referred by secretary to priest, left number and wrote. No reply. Looking for record of burial at their small cemetery. Have had no experience with St. Colmans or the former St. Bridgid parish. Mary Ellen Chambers Lakewood, Ohio
