DETAILED DIRECTIONS for finding these cemeteries.
NOTE:
The "Sgrecci-Howard lists"
were compiled by JoAnn Sgrecci (1930-1988),
Helena Howard & others in the 1980s. They visited
cemeteries & added
to the older lists
made in the 1920s & 1930s by local D.A.R. volunteers.
Their lists were generously provided by Helena Howard from her
collection.
These lists often contain data
from stones that are no longer visible today.
"Fenton
Lists" - From the mid-1990s until the present, Bill
Fenton has been
engaged in the huge
project of rechecking all the cemeteries & creating
updated lists. These are considered the most up-to-date lists
which are kept
on file in the local
historical society. Many thanks to Bill for making some
of his lists available to this website.
You can write to the local Historical
Society to check Bill's remaining lists. (See "Where
to Write")
Bill also
provided directions
to the cemeteries.
Several other people
have provided detailed readings of specific
cemeteries as noted in the index below. Many thanks for all
their help!

Please note that

If
in doubt, try to verify the information here by referring to a
primary
resource, such as a death record,
census or bible record, obituary, etc.
!! Please contact Linda if you find a mistake & not the local historical society.

CENSUS & DIRECTORY LISTS:
(try
the site search
engine to find a
name quickly.)
*
A
few things to keep in mind as you look at the census.....
1.
Occupations, years of residence and some other info was omitted from
these lists in some cases. Complete
census info is generally
available from a local library or the Schuyler
Co., NY Historical Society.
2. People sometimes
labeled "servants" or "boarders" may have been
foster children or apprentices.
3. Birthplaces may
differ within the family, though the family may not have moved at
all....the county boundaries
may have moved. Go
here for county boundary changes & dates.
4.
It is surprisingly common for people to appear on two different
censuses for a given year. It happens in cases
where the person was
staying with relatives, or counted both at work and home, for
example. (Since different
locations may have been
done on different days.)
