2008-01-07 - Identified through online information from Eric Fahner. -- Organ most likely belonged to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Grand Street, Jersey City- the oldest Catholic parish in Jersey City- as " St Peter's" is written on the underneath of the key desk. The case is much older than the organ, and it is located in the balcony -Database Manager
