I am doing a family research and I am trying to locate a grave of a family member. I know Lincoln Park used to be a cemetery, but where did the graves get relocated to?
Was there a certain place or did they get scattered among various cemeteries?
My ancestors lived in the Lncoln Park area and must have had a child die about 1862. The records I have researched at St Michael's start at 1864 so I was wondering if he would have been buried at the Lincoln Park Cemetery # I know that it didn't go by that name.#

What other cemeteries were around at that time?

It seems most of my early ancestors were buried at St Boniface, but from what I read, it didn't open until about 1863, and I couldn't locate the grave at that cemetery.

Any ideas or leads would be appreciated. Thanks.
