Jacqueline, Since New Cathedral is a Philadelphia Archdiocesan Cemetery, burial plot records are available via the Catholic Cemeteries office. It's often very interesting to see else is buried in the family plot. The lady in the cemeteries office is very nice and has been very helpful. You can request info via e-mail to CEMETERY@adphila.org Jim Cullen Genealogy - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jimcullen/ Trains - http://jim-cullen.tripod.com/ >From: Jackisr@aol.com >Reply-To: philly-roots@rootsweb.com >To: PHILLY-ROOTS@rootsweb.com >Subject: [Phly-Rts] 1890 Death record: ERNESTINE (ABERCROMBIE) FIELD >bur.New Cathedral Cemetery >Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 17:46:00 EST > >Thought I would share transcription of death record.
