The Interment Record books were probably microfilmed by acommercial microfilm company. The diocesan records weremicrofilmed in 1986 by a crew from The Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-Day Saints at the Wilmot Library on the Nazareth College ofRochester campus. This microfilming project included filming allavailable parish records of the diocese of Rochester through theend of 1910. The interment film is available for viewing atNazareth Library or at any of the LDS Family History Centers. TheLDS Film Number is 1,430,999. The film is in the 16mm format.

The combined index records consist of: Surname, Given name(s),Record number and Year of interment. Miscellaneous records arefound before the A's. Clergy and Nuns are found both in the A - Zsection and ahead of the A's under their respective categories.There are a few records that are duplicated under dual surnamelistings.

The thirteen typewritten annual indexes provided by CharleneFreundlich were eventually merged into one master interment index.To get there it was necessary to transfer the documents thruseveral computer manipulations.

The annual indexes were sent from a Sharp UX-184 Fax machinewhich was connected to my 386 DX-40 computer using a SVAFAXSCANNER S22-1022 as the local innerconnection. In thecomputer the modem was accessed by Bitfax/Bitcom for windowsversion 2.12/1.05D Easy by Cheyenne Software, Inc which hadCaere's Any Fax OCR built into it. This converted the Faxes intoASCII text files.

Alpha4 version 3.3 database program was used to merge and convertthe ASCII text files into a usable database.
