Dear Friend:

Welcome to the Italian Cemetery Heritage Circle!

In order to facilitate your genealogical research, we are forwarding an inventory 
of our Burial Records and a summary of the information contained in each type of 
document.

We are proud of the fact that our Burial Record Index has now been fully computerized.
This of course makes looking up the names of the deceased a quick and accurate process. 
In addition, we can now easily generate a printed list of all those persons interred 
here having the same surname.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that there are still a number 
of properties available for purchase in older parts of the Italian Cemetery. A brief 
description of each type is found on the enclosed sheet.

As always, do not hesitate to call us with any questions that you might have.

Sincerely yours,


Sebastian Fichera, Manager
Andrew M. Canepa, Assistant Manager
Giuseppe Timpano, Facility Manager
