You will find many people who lived in Philadelphia buried there, so the fact that your Ernestine Fields was buried there does not indicate that she or her family had moved out of the city. It may, however, indicate that later burials in the family were at Holy Cross, so you should probably ask Ms. Johnston for the Holy Cross lot profile as well as the New Cathedral one. Between the old and the new cemeteries, you may just find other family members... Hope that helps. Claire K. ============================================= Dear CLAIRE K. Thanks for the information on Holy Cross Cemetery. I finally did some GOOGLE searching yesterday and located the cemetery. The lot profile is being mailed out today by VERONICA JOHNSTON. She e-mailed me that ERNESTINE's husband is not buried with her so I have to suspect he was not a Catholic. They were married in 1828 in ST. AUGUSTINE Church in Philadelphia and three of their children (known children) were baptized in Catholic Churches in Philadelphia. He died between 1867-1870 most likely in Philadelphia. ERNESTINE's son THEODORE, wife SUSAN (JACOBY) and their daughter CATHERINE ELOISE FIELD were living in Philadelphia at time of her death but at the time she was dis-interred they had moved to Haddonfield boro, Camden, NJ., pretty close to Holy Cross Cemetery. As far as I know they were her only living relatives living that close. My great grandmother KATHERINE ADELE (FIELD) RUSSELL, d. Aug. 1910 in Worcester, MA., her husband HERBERT J., and children MIRIAM & RAYMOND FIELD RUSSELL, survived her. KATHERINE ADELE was ERNESTINE's granddaughter. Again, my thanks, Jacki Russell Jacqueline Sleeper Russell Website: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SRCH&db=jacquelinesr&surna me=A
