My thoughts were of researchers, like me, who have the records either by
obtaining the Death Certificates or by obtaining the information from the
rectory. I have the names of at least 16 people buried in St. Joseph's. The
only "list" that they would be on is At the church. Because there are no
headstones no one else would know they are there, except a researcher. I
would like to see their names on a more public list. One day, I would like
to put some sort of headstone on the location of all my ancestors, it's on
my prayer list.
