St. Joseph's New Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio opened in 1854
and was purchased due to the original St. Joseph's Cemetery—located
closer to the center of downtown—filling up. That first cemetery housed the
remains of the growing German and Irish Catholic population of the city and was
open from 1842 to 1853. [1]
The website for the new cemetery has an extensive database
of over 120,000 interments, covering the time period from the 1850s to 2008.
There is also a helpful browse option, useful for names that have been
erroneously transcribed or spelled in an unconventional manner. Information returned
from the database includes name of deceased, date of interment, and where
known, age, date of death, spouse's name, and parents' names.
The cemetery is located at 4500 Foley Road, to the west of downtown Cincinnati.
