This index was compiled from the "Cemetery Daily Journal" at the rectory of Saint Adalbert Basilica, 212 Stanislaus St. Buffalo, NY 14212. There are numerous misspellings contained in the original book. The person writing the names sometimes wrote the Polish names as he thought they sounded. Then he used the Latin versions for first names. When searching for an ancestor, try looking for misspelled names. If you know the actual death date you can search the rear section of the book which is arranged chronologically in order of burial dates. The index only covers the first ninety-three pages covering the years 1890 to 1903. Reason for this was these pages contained the location of graves. Listed were the section, line and grave numbers. Sometimes there can be conflicting locations for grave locations. There are cases of two or more names for the same grave. I have tried to be as accurate as possible, but some errors can be found in original book. I have included the original page number so that you can always check original book to settle any discrepancies for spellings, dates, or locations.
This index only pertains to the Old Cemetery on Dale Road in Cheektowaga, NY. There are three sections covered in this index.
| Section "J" | To date I have not been able to find the location of this section. According to the burial dates, this section appears to be the first or oldest section. Possibly it is the open field on the left before the row of trees. | |||||||||
| Section "G" | This section has a large number of burials. I believe it is the open field located to
your left as you enter, unfortunately it appears only to have three grave markers within
the 1890- 1903 era.

|||||||||
| Section "K" | This section contains the most grave markers. It is located on the left, just past the traffic circle. Just past the row of trees begins row one. Grave number one starts at the fence. In the first row there is a tall stone near the road. This is the grave my Great Grandfather Michael Kornowski, the location is Section "K" row one, grave 30. He was buried 5 May 1891. |
