Materials from St. Anne’s are currently online at:

http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Catholica%20Collection/Saint%20Anne%20Parish/

Only one cemetery register has been digitization so far at:

http://digital.library.villanova.edu/Catholica%20Collection/Saint%20Anne%20Parish/Manuscripts/Cemetery/

In the coming months, three additional registers will be added to the collections. In particular, the owners of the cemetery plots are listed in the registers. A member of the St. Anne community is working on a map with linked data of these plots- but that is currently not available.

When will these records be available. They will certainly be helpful to many who are researching their ancestors. In their bulletin last weekend, St. Anne’s announced the digitization of all cemetery records indicating they are available to all, listing the website. Unfortunately I am unable to find a way into the site. Is it because it is not yet available?

I am also researching my ancestors, several of whom are buried in St. Anne’s Cemetery. St. Anne’s was my home parish till I married and moved away. My great grandfather Thomas Brady is buried that. He fought in the Civil War. My other great grandfather, Robert Stinson also fought in the Civil War along with his brothers: Company G, 69th PA. He bought a home on Huntingdon Street in the parish and lived there till he died in 1897. However, he is buried at New Cathedral Cemetery. I will be delighted to see the results of this partnership.

Will you please also notify me when the files are ready for public access? I have known ancestors buried there as early as 1854 and am continuing to try to find the remainder of them. Thank you.

We normally announce a project’s completion by posting a story on our blog. We can also forward your request to the project leader.

I would like to be advised when the St Anne’s cemetery records are digitized and available to the public.
