Interesting. Have the feeling non catholic in PRDH might be few & far
between, actually (tho' guess it's still worth checking, just in case!)
...have only ever found a couple I looked for....one I found did match
data from Holy Trinity, Anglican, BUT PRDH had bride's parents' names,
where church did not, so am still trying to track that down / 'prove'
that....incidently, she does not appear among the children in PRDH of
the named couple....as w/ everything, I guess, it's only as good as far
as it goes!

When it looked like I'd not get a response via list (impatient that I
am!) I did just that! - phoned them....got just what I subsequently got
from a lister (my previous post) tho' not nearly as clearly explained as
by the lister! They did suggest I visit " the Basicalla archives", that
they'd have the info....& did say that to get plot listing one must go
in person, no service by e-m or snail mail.....person I was speaking w/
was not aware this info is available from their website (it is).....I
read from my printout & was assured I had everything I'd get in person.
So guess we now know :>)

p.s. If anyone is looking for a 'recent' burial....did notice this week
that the 'obituary' listings for this week & last (all that seems to be
available) contain a great number from Nov / Dec 2001 & on thru' the
winter...looks like actual burials are just happening now....& death
date is shown!!! guess they just don't keep it??? ha!
