VOLUNTEERS
These wonderful, gracious DC researchers have offered to provide lookups to other Washington DC researchers. Please be patient as many work outside the home and please be as specific as possible when asking for a lookup such as names, dates, locations, as much as you know!

LOOKUP: HOLY ROOD
I recently completed a list of gravestone inscriptions at Holy Rood cemetery.
If your Irish ancestors were in Georgetown in the 19th and early 20th
centuries, they may well be buried here. This is by no means a complete list
of burials. The cemetery is in sad shape, with many stones overturned and not
readable. Many persons were buried without their names being placed on
gravestones. However, I have over 2,000 names listed, some with information
that may not be found on official death and burial records. Complete
cemetery records (not including gravestone inscriptions) can be found at
Georgetown University's Lauinger Library.
LOOKUP: HOLY TRINITY BAPTISMS
My database of baptisms at this catholic church in Georgetown currently
covers April
1858 through the end of 1862 and includes over 1,200 baptisms. Entries
include name of person being baptized, father's name, mother's name (usually
maiden), dates of birth and baptism, sponsors, and occasional other
information. I can sort by all categories. The original records are housed
at Georgetown University's Lauinger Library.
LOOKUP: ROSTER - D.C. FD 1876
Complete roster of the D.C. Fire Dept. Organized by company, it shows name,
position, age, occupation, and home address. Source: "1876 Annual Report of
the D.C. Commissioners" available at the Martin Luther King Library in
Washington.
LOOKUP: ROSTER - D.C. FD 1894
Same as for 1876 but the roster also includes the date of appointment to the
Fire Dept. Also included are lists of resignations, removals, retirements,
promotions, reductions in rank, reinstatements, widows pensions, casualties,
and deaths. Source "1894 Annual Report of the D.C. Commissioners" Available
at the King Library.
LOOKUP: ENTRANCE BOOKS
The Georgetown College (now Univ.) Rector's Entrance Books contain
information about students who entered the school between 1809 and 1894. I
have extracted entries for students shown to be from Northern Virginia
(Alexandria/Arlington, and the counties of Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince
William, and a few other locations). Typical information includes student
name, parent name, hometown, date of entry, and occasional other information.
List includes over 200 students. These books are housed in Georgetown
University's Lauinger Library.
