Message:Hi there, my maiden name is Robin Wakeman I am orig. from upstate New York. My Grandfather was William Wakeman, but he was born William Wegman/Wegmann. Please keep in mind when these German people came over from Germany and the census and certificates and all were made out(hand written) The writers wrote them as they sounded not as they should of been. When I was in the DC Archives I found many of my relatives as Wakemans not Wegmans as they should of been. So my Maiden name is Wakeman, which should have been Wegman. Search for your family with an open mind and look for similar spellings.

BURIAL:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymonroe/cem/holy5e.htm
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery is located at 2461 Lake Avenue in Rochester about ½ mile north of Ridge Road. It was begun in September 1871 in order have a common place for Catholics to be buried in Rochester. Before this there were a few small Catholic cemeteries around Rochester. The oldest part of Holy Sepulchre is the lots on the east side of Lake Avenue. These tombstone records include some reburials from the older cemeteries.
The earliest book of burials has been filmed. It covers the period of September 18, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1910. A copied of the film has been placed in the Lorette Wilmot Library of Nazareth College (Pittsford, NY). A copy of this film may also be rented from LDS Family History Libraries around the world. Ask for film #1,430,999. These burial records include: date of death, date of interment, place of death, parish, nativity, cause of death, grave location. A few years ago, the office at Holy Sepulchre put their records on a computer, the best part is that you can give them a name and not only can they tell where they are buried but they can also tell you who else is buried in the family lot.
