Hello all! A few weeks ago there was a discussion about the helpfulness of some cemeteries. I mentioned that Cedar Hill Cemetery had not responded to my written request for information about family members buried there. I'd like to let everyone know that today I received a wonderful reply from Constance Savoy, Family Counselor at Cedar Hill Cemetery. Her letter was very helpful. I take back any negative impression that I gave about the helpfulness of the staff at Cedar Hill Cemetery. Just wanted to set the record straight and give credit where credit is due!!

It might have been at Holy Cross Catholic church, which does keep their records. Some are at the church and some at Georgetown University. Yours, Scott Shrader

I requested sacramental records for my husband from St. Dominic's Catholic Church in SW Washington where he was Baptized. I provided the name and date and they sent me a certificate of Baptism with notes on the back for Confirmation and Marriage (which were NOT performed at St. Dominic's); no notation for First Communion. My sense is, although not perfect, it is a standard practice. I don't think the rules change if only one person was Catholic. It would be interesting to know the answer. Please post the result to the board. Thanks and Good luck. Dottie Engemann Ormond Beach, FL

I just discovered that my computer was infected by the Sircam virus, which MAY have sent itself to you. If this occurred, I apologize. To check your computer for the virus, search for the file SirC32.exe on your computer....if it exists, you probably have the virus.

My mother-in-law's mother was married to her husband first in Alexandria, VA in 1922 but they had to be "remarried" by a Catholic priest in 1926 before their first child could be baptized in the Catholic church (which happened to be Holy Comforter). The second ceremony apparently was to satisfy some requirement in the Catholic church; perhaps the Catholic church did not recognize the first marriage. My questions: Does the Catholic church keep a record of this "remarriage"? If so, is there a register, certificate, etc that could be photocopied? I would like to request such a record if possible. Thanks. Suzanne Collins Matson

Hello all. I have a newspaper clipping from the late 50s or early 60s about the Daughters of America Chapter in Anacostia. Does anyone know if this is the Daughters of the American Revolution or another civic group? It seems that my great-grandmother and her sister were members. Thanks!

Hello: If anyone has access to the 1850 census for Washington, D.C. and would please tell me what information is provided concerning the household of Ruth Fuller of the 2nd Ward on page 125 of the census, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Richard Husband

Brenda, "Guide to the Records of Your District of Columbia Ancestors" by Eleanor M. V. Cook says on page 31: "Reports of the DC DAR GRC contain three volumes concerning the Georgetown Presbyterian Church. IN Volume 75, the Journal of Trustees for the years 1806-1850 is transcribed and indexed. Volume 79 covers the years 1850-1873 and Volume 80 the years 1873-1908. There is an 1850 list of pewholders, a few tombstone incriptions in the Presbyterian Burying Ground in 1892 when the bodies were removed, and the ledger of the collector for the graveyard 1806-1822. All three volumes are indexed. For further information, write to the church and the records will be checked for you. Georgetown Presbyterian Church, 3115 P Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007."

Does anyone know if records are available for this church prior to 1863? The LDS library catalog says this church was built in 1782 then in 1873 moved and changed its name to West St Presbyterian Church then moved again in 1918 and changed its name to Georgetown Presbyterian Church. The LDS only has microfilmed 1863-1932. Thanks, Brenda Haines City, FL

I hate to admit this but I have a scrap of paper with Section I Lot 42 M Campbell Presbyterian Graveyard Georgetown, DC written on it. In checking the DC genweb site I do not find this cemetery listed. I am hoping that this maybe Meshach Campbell. This would be probably mid 1800s. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to where I might have gotten this and how I can follow up on it? Thanks, Brenda Haines City, FL
