I was hoping that worcmik would answer.  Tatnuck burying ground no longer exists.  The burials and stones were removed to the St. John's Cemetery and other places depending on the wishes of the families.  This was done to create more area for development.  Don't get me going!  Tatnuck was the first consecrated ground in Worcester for Catholic burials.  Some very poor irish people were interred there some with only wooden crosses, according to Richard O'Flynn the irish historian who transcribed the cemetery before its demolition.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, worcmik or anyone else.

I think that the burials are on a database under projects if you want to see them at tiara.ie.

Wow Helen!  You have a mind like a steel trap!  No wonder you're so good with genealogy because you have a great memory of details.

Sorry I'm late. Dominick and Mary are in the database (without the child, as I didn't know about her. I do now and that is one more Tatnuck burial that we know about.) and the database is at Tiara.
Merski is correct and there are threads here that give more info on Tatnuck.
Hi everyone. :)
