SS Peter and Paul Cemetery Avoca PA Tombstone Photo Album

Please note that this is not yet a complete compilation of all the tombstones in this cemetery. I will be adding more as my health permits. However, this will still not reflect everyone buried here as there may be many burials here that are not shown by tombstones and at this time, I do not have access to the cemetery records. To make this project as easy as possible so people can search for their ancestors or loved one's tombstones, I have set this up in a very simple, yet easy method for me. It may not be the best for you the visitor, but if I were to do it the most convenient for the visitor, it would take much longer and much more time then I am able to spend on it. So I have set it up this way so at least you can see if your ancestors tombstones are shown here and possibly get some useful information. PLEASE be aware that many years ago, names were often spelled much differently than they are now. I probably made some typing errors too so be sure to view the photos to verify any info. If you notice any errors, please let me know so I can correct them.

In many cases I didn't have any choice on the angle I used for the photo. Sometimes there are plants, flowers, or other decorations blocking the tombstones, so I tried to get the best shot possible. If there are a number of graves that seem to be connected to each other somehow, I have tried to take a group shot to show any connections.

I am aware that by displaying the photos here in alphabetical order, it is not as helpful as if they were displayed as they are laid out in the cemetery. However, to do that, I would have to make a detailed map of the cemetery, code in each grave site, then list identifying info about each gravestone and try to match each photo with each grave so I could put them in order. Then I would have to manually code in the web pages with each photo listed in the correct location. Although this would be much more helpful, to be realistic, I most likely could not devote that much time to each cemetery. If I did, it would take years before I could get any substantial amount of cemetery photos listed on the web. Therefore, only a small number of people would benefit. This way, I feel I can do a much faster job, and get much more info on the web so more people can benefit.

If you think you may have a connection to a tombstone and want to know about surrounding graves, email me at lizonitz@adelphia.net and explain as much as you can about the tombstone photo you are referring to, and any others you think may be related to that one, and if I can, when time permits, I will visit the cemetery and possibly take a wider angle group shot of surrounding tombstones to try and help you in your research.

Some of the tombstones only have a first or last name on them and maybe a date or two. In most cases, I don't know any more about the tombstones then you do. Where I could, I tried to take a wider shot to show their possible connection to another tombstone nearby. These tombstones may at least aide you in verifying dates or viewing the way a name was spelled at that time.

If you are fortunate enough to find some useful info here, please email me at lizonitz@adelphia.net and let me know. Knowing this info helps someone gives me an incentive to go out and photograph more tombstones.

Please excuse the inconvenience of a long load time and Good Luck with your research!
