    1. [WI-Sheboy] Re: Cemetery Check for Meehan
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2FC.2ACI/1729.1 Message Board Post: The oldest Catholic church in Sheboygan City is Holy Name which started keeping records in 1850. The Catholic Churches in Sheboygan county can be accessed through the Milwaukee Archdioce, phone number 414-769-3300. Their website is www.archmil.org. A few months ago I was in Sheboygan and went to the church. They told me to contact someone at the Archdiocese who does all the look ups. The cemetery this church is mainly associated with at that time is Calvary or also dubbed the North Side Cemetary. Luckily, I had visited the church back in 1994 when they still did their own researching and was able to get a lot of information. If they weren't buried here they might be in Wildwood. Calvary's data is not computerized and to look up the records they search the index cards by the last name you requested. The problem is if the person was buried in some other family's plot. The indexes are only by the person who owned the plot and not by who was buried. Good luck!
