Well, I made my trip to calvary....and this video DID help...unfortunately, I was searching for four different plots where numerous relatives of mine are buried, and although I found the gravesites, there wasn't a single stone on any of the plots. Disappointing to say the least. So anyone visiting Calvary for the first time, be prepared as apparently what happened to me is pretty common.
@viewstew That's great! I just took this video on the fly when searching for my grandfather's grave.
It seems there are quite a few unmarked graves there; it happened to Susan Sarandon just up the hill there in her Who Do You Think You Are? episode.
Amazing how little information they kept in the record books too - if you don't have a death or burial date it seems you are out of luck getting a site. And it is a very, very large cemetery to walk!
Great video - I'm hoping to visit first calvary to look for my Irish ancestors....this video gives me a good idea of what the area is like....thanks for posting!
