The name of your great grandmother is given as Florence Weaver.<br />The films can be viewed at a Family History Center because they have restricted access. You can view the index at home but not the images.<br />St Mary is films 1403471 and 1403472.<br />St Peter is films 1403371, 1403372, and 1403373.<br />Please let us know if this worked for you.Jody Lutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166860142168646494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-63036295670847835162018-05-06T03:00:16.596-04:002018-05-06T03:00:16.596-04:00Hi Jody,
My G. Grandfather is Charles M. Russell, ...Hi Jody,<br />My G. Grandfather is Charles M. Russell, born 1838 in Ireland. His wife was Florence C. Either O'Donnoughe or,<br />Florence Cecilia Weaver. The Saint Peter-Catholic Church in Jersey City New Jersey lists their family as members. My Grandfather, John Thomas and his brothers Charles H. and James Francis were christened there. I'm trying to find the church's marriage records to see if Charles M. Russell was married there, thus, giving me his wife's true maiden name. Charles M Russell died from Malaria on April 15, 1878 and is buried in Holy Name cemetery.<br />Oddly enough, on April 6, 1880 Florence C. Russell put John Thomas and James Francis into The Washington City Orphan's Asylum, in Washington D.C. and Florence C. Odonnoughe shows up back living with her family in Georgetown, Washington DC. Is it possible to access the church's marriage records to see if Charles M. Russell was married there? I'd appreciate any information you can give me to help solve this mystery.<br />Thanks Jody,<br />Charles (Gene) RussellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321284560908775760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-15731539210132263842018-02-18T21:50:18.025-05:002018-02-18T21:50:18.025-05:00Thanks, Lisa.Thanks, Lisa.Jody Lutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166860142168646494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-53494002000991516542018-02-14T12:50:50.456-05:002018-02-14T12:50:50.456-05:00During the week you will need an appointment to ha...During the week you will need an appointment to have the gates opened.

He showed me the right grave very quickly. Because of his information, I discovered another family name in the index for this grave. (And then a great lunch buffet at nearby Hyderabadi House!)

Figuring it is a very old cemetery, I wasn't surprised to find more than one "block" with the same letter! I also noticed several of my ancestors have 2 grave sites recorded so I guess they were moved to a different location. Am hoping to get there in the fairly near future.

Figuring out where a grave is located i...Hi Nancy. Figuring out where a grave is located in the two areas for Section G is tricky. You may have to look in both and they cover a lot of ground. I would start in the section that abuts the Priest Circle because the format is G-#-A.<br />The first grave you list in Section A follows the pattern A-1-A, so I would start in the Section A closest to Section Y. The second grave is A-1, so if you don't find it while searching the other Section A, go to Section A closest to Westside Avenue.<br />You did not write how you came up with these grave locations. They are not in the format of the Cemetery's cards. You are a few steps away from the source of the information, so you may be hunting for an incorrect location.<br />Don't forget to check FindAGrave.com to see if someone already photographed these graves and marked the coordinates.Jody Lutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166860142168646494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7182301947537322536.post-68860974001475182772016-07-08T20:21:42.706-04:002016-07-08T20:21:42.706-04:00Hi Jody!

I have folks buried in sections A and G but I noticed on the map that there are 3 sections A and 2 Sections G. Any idea of how to narrow down the locations when I visit the cemetery? Examples: Blk-A Gr-945 N 1C and Blk-A Gr-169 SOUTH EM 1A. Blk-G Sec-8 Gr-ABCD 1B. Thanks for your help!

They are on my computer and I do free lookups for people searching for their ancestors. I rarely look up Holy Name cemetery anymore since RCAN has them online but the cards still contain St Peter's cemetery. If anyone ever needs a lookup my email is at the bottom of the page on my website.
