[Sylvina]

I am trying to find my dead Moms grave. She died when I was 8 months old in Rio Piedras, PR. I don't know where to search first. Can you help? Her name was Carmen Lydia Oriz. She died at age 26. She had 3 children: Samuel Santiago, Wilma ?, and me Sylvia Santiago. My dads name is the same as my brothers. Please someone help.

Hello,
Have you tried to contact the courts (death dept) in Rio Piedras. They should have some info if not try to get the names of the cemeteries over there. Maybe someone that works in the cemetery may have some info. Good Luck.

The way you find your mother's burial is by contacting Registro Demografico in Rio Piedras and get your mother's death record. If your mother was Catholic it is most likely that the Church donated a plot to the family. Contact the Catholic Diocese of Rio Piedras and they will be able to help you. You can find all the churches in Rio Piedras by visiting a Family History Center or by checking the phone book but the Diocese will be able to help you. Just pick up the phone and call. Good Luck

Wondering if you found your mother's grave?? There is a site I found with a listing of all the cementeries in Rio Piedras and San Juan. If you still need help send me a email and I can send you that information. Did you contact the Diocese of Rio Piedras??
