Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for the advice people have offered if finding info about the old records from Old St. Mary's. I've ordered the FHC films but since I'm in New Zealand it may take a while for them to arrive but I've waited this long a bit more wont hurt me. If anyone knows if St. Mary's has a cemetery on site that may also be useful. I didn't get the impression that they did but you never know. Also, I had a suggestion for an old German cemetery that may be a possible but who's records are lost. Does anyone know about this place? Thanks to all again who offered their help. Dave
I am trying to recall what I was told: The Cemetery is currently on 13th and Juneau, but it is not used as a cemetery. Development stopped in this area recently when bodies were unearthed. The cemetery closed in the mid or late 1860s with directives that people move the graves of family. This did not get done completely. Records no longer exist.
