    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZkB.2ACI/2996.3 Message Board Post: The old Calvary Cemetery is located just north of downtown Dallas on Hall Street, just northwest of the Central Expressway and southeast of McKinney Ave. It is accessible from Hall Street and is well kept. There are several other cemeteries located in the area including Emamuel, Greenwood and the Freedmen's memorial. If you have access to a Dallas Mapsco, it is on map 45C. The records for this cemetery were lost in a fire years ago. Only about half of the grave sites have markers. However, several years ago, the Ursuline nuns mapped the cemetery and identified the remaining markers. The map is kept at the new Calvary Hill Cemetery on Lombardy Lane in Dallas. I suggest you contact them to determine if markers are there for your people but you may have to be insistent since not all the employees seem to know the map exists. Good luck.
