Comment by Sally Bruckheimer: I have been told that the burial records have been lost. Few people in Buffalo seem to know of its existance. Many of the tombstones have Hebrew inscriptions which we cannot read and therefore have not included. Those stones with only Hebrew inscriptions have not been included in the listing.

    Holy Sepulchre Cemetery was founded for the burial of Catholics with Italian background at a time when ethnic cemeteries were the norm. (The United German and French Roman Catholic Cemetery dating from 1859 is a stone's throw away and St. Stanislaus Polish Cemetery a short distance away.)
    Founded in 1913 with a purchase of 20 acres of land on Harlem Road, Cheektowaga, with an entrance between Genesee and the Kensington Expressway, the cemetery was consecrated by Bishop Henry Colton in 1913. In a letter dated November 28, 1916, Bishop Dennis Dougherty (later Cardinal Dougherty), set down rules for the governance of the Italian cemetery. Additional acreage was purchased for a total 33 acres in a narrow very deep cemetery behind the neighborhood know as Tirearunda. (Cedar Grove section of Cheektowaga, NY) St. Francis of Assisi Chapel Mausoleum was built in 1992. Lovely mosaics of Italian Saints - Santa Francesco and Santa Chiara - St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare of Assisi - adorn the front exterior.
    Inside, stained glass beautifully portrays St. Francis, the Stigmata, the Greccio Christmas scene, and the Resurrection. To drive or walk through the cemetery and read all the Italian names gives a feeling for the faith of the Italian ancestors.
    Presently, Holy Sepulchre, with its 33 acres in the town of Cheektowaga, has approximately 20,000 interments in the cemetery. There are approximately 8 acres of undeveloped land for future cemetery use.

15. Saint Adalbert Cemetery (Old) ~ 1890 to 1903.
    Ed Kornowski who is currently the Vice President of the Polsih Genealogical Society of New York State
    has indexed the St Adelberts Old Cemetery.
    This searchable index located at on the PGSNYS Website, was compiled from the
    "Cemetery Daily Journal" at the rectory of Saint Adalbert Basilica,
    212 Stanislaus St. Buffalo, NY 14212.
    There are numerous misspellings contained in the original book.
    The person writing the names sometimes wrote the Polish names as he thought they sounded.
    Then he used the Latin versions for first names.
    When searching for an ancestor, try looking for misspelled names.
    If you know the actual death date you can search the rear section of the book
    which is arranged chronologically in order of burial dates.
    The index only covers the first ninety-three pages covering the years 1890 to 1903.
    Reason for this was these pages contained the location of graves.
    Listed were the section, line and grave numbers.
    Sometimes there can be conflicting locations for grave locations.
    There are cases of two or more names for the same grave.
    I have tried to be as accurate as possible, but some errors can be found in original book.
    I have included the original page number so that you can always check original book
    to settle any discrepancies for spellings, dates, or locations.
    This index only pertains to the Old Cemetery on Dale Road in Cheektowaga, NY.

    St. John's Cemetery at the corner of Sugar Rd. & Pine Ridge Rd., Cheektowaga. The office is listed at
    6540 Main St., Williamsville, NY, 14221, ph. 632- 6557. It is not listed as a Lutheran cemetery, but as I recall from my
    youth, it is. Besides, it's the only St. John's listed in the directory. The phone number for the church is (716)632-6557. The ladys name is Phyllis and she can be very helpful if she is in a good mood.
    Most of the people buried there went to St John's Lutheran Church now on Main St in Williamsville NY (suburb of Buffalo).
    This church was in the city of Buffalo at one time and had a large German membership. The cemetery is open till abt noon
    (edt) on sat and may give you info over the phone. The church may be a little more difficult to get a hold of. Ask the
    cemetery for the number and address. Hope this helps. Barbara
