He was born to Suzanna and George Sajna, in 1909, and died the same year. These were Greek Catholic people, living in Cleveland and belonged to St. John's on Scovill Avenue. Can you help me? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. I’m looking for the gravesite of my infant uncle -

George Sajna was, I think, my grandmother's cousin and I am trying to find information about his wife's mother, possibly Anna Chegin. George's daughter Mary Andreski visited our family in Marblehead, Ohio - my mother is 94 and sometimes unclear about all of the relationships. Thank you so much, Rebecca MM,

Her death certificate says the undertaker was Frank Marek and the burial was at the "Russian Cemetery". I know that the Harvard Avenue cemetery was once know as the Old Russian Cemetery, but they could not find any information on baby Lizzie. Any one have any knowledge of a "Russian Cemetery"? I found one in Marblehead, Oh. but it list 36 interments and her name is not on the list. I still believe that she was buried at the Old Russian Cemetery now known as Harvard Avenue Cemetery. That was about where my grandparents lived at the time. The burial was in Nov. of 1923. HELP !!

Katie Benzie died in Nov 1930 and her death certificate says she is buried in Holy Ghost (I believe it says that-hard to read). Mike and Katie Benzie had moved their family after 1920 to Cleveland, Ohio from Pennsylvania. They were immigrants from Mokre, Powiat Sanocki, Gmina Zagorz, Subcarpathian or Podkarpacie Voivodeship - Austria/Poland. They were Ruthenians. Should I get in touch with the Cemetery to see if she is buried there and maybe even her husband and some children who died young? Thank you!!

According to family tales he was on the Board of Directors of the Church. He lived on Auburn Ave. and his name was Peter Kusner. Peter had a wife, Suzanne and children Mary,John, Anne,Helen,Mildred, Elizabeth, a baby (Elizabeth who died in infancy) and George ( my dear father). I have vivid memories of Rev. Hanulya coming to my grandfather's house and visiting with the family often. My grandfather passed away in 1963 and is buried at the cemetery on 54th street in Parma.

Does anyone know where (I know it was Cleveland) he would have been during that time period and how I could find more about that ceremony than what was on Familysearch? I am in Tennessee and hope that someone who is more familiar with Cleveland can help me with my search. The family name on the marriage record was Joan Kaluscsak and Catharina Oso. Their names were actually John Haluszchak and Katherine Osho but I know it is the right people because I already had the date from some other records. Any insight would be helpful. thanks!

It seems as though he was at St John the Baptist Greek Catholic Church during 1906-1908. I've provided a link for possibly a little more information. Please excuse the added information regarding Rev Hanulya, as he was also my great grandfather. Regards, Debi http://www.byzcath.org/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/343641/1 Hi Judy:
