The photo taken on October 27, 2015 shows the church from which remains of earliest Chinese immigrants were found in U.S.. A large number of human remains were found this month at the construction site of a church in Belleville township in New Jersey. Workers dug out a large number of human bones and ashes when they were cleaning the church's basement. Michael Perrone, president of Belleville Historical Society, said the church, which was first built in 1697 and rebuilt in 1853, sustained severe damages by two hurricanes in recent years, with its basement being flooded. When workers did repairs to the church, they found from beneath the church basement plenty of sediments believed to be human remains, said Perrone, who concluded after some research work that the remains belonged to a group of Chinese immigrants who came to work in the U.S. East Coast after completing transcontinental railroads in 1869.
