The New York Times, I believe, coined the phrase "final resting place of the rich and famous" in reference to Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NYC, and multiple media sources perpetuate it. Once the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847 restricted further churchyard burials in the cities of New York and Brooklyn, commercial burial grounds sprung up in lush, bucolic settings such as Woodlawn. It was common for visitors to pay their respects, then picnic to escape the urban congestion. If you're searching for a burial at Woodlawn Cemetery, let the following links be your guide.

This is wonderful news, Pat.  I am so glad Sean had no head injuries.  I will keep on praying but it sounds as if he is moving along well in his recovery.  Blessings on him and his whole family, especially you.Virginia From: Pat Connors via <ny-irish@rootsweb.com> To: ny irish <ny-irish-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 10, 2016 12:38 AM Subject: [NY-IRISH] Personal, about Sean More good news! This will be my last post about my gr son, Sean,  because I have great news, he went home today!  That is after three hospitals, and close to 20 operations.  His last hospital was a physical rehab hospital and when I saw this weekend, he was up walking, with a walker, but on his own two feet. Plus, he was happy.  He doesn't remember the first 2 1/2 weeks when he was in an induced coma.  At 3 wk while still in ICU, he was moved from the Trauma Center to a regular hospital where he stayed about 8-10 day and they got him up walking two days before he moved to the last hospital.  He had no brain damage or head injuries which saved him (air bag).

I'd be very interested in any info about the Peekskill Institute, if you ever see any.  My great-grandfather attended it in the 1880s.  They specialized in the usual academic courses as well as business subjects.  Think the headmaster then was Unterreiner.  It was not in the book, pub 1914, linked below tho it still existed then.                  Thanks--Virginia From: mizscarlettny via <ny-irish@rootsweb.com> To: nywestch@rootsweb.com; NY-IRISH@rootsweb.com; NYNEWYOR@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, June 9, 2016 11:58 AM Subject: [NY-IRISH] You're ancestors were from Peekskill ?

I strongly advise that you order the microfilm from Family Search.  $7.50 per film.  NYC index cards have many errors--misspellings, leaving out people who are there etc.  I'm not even sure that pre-cert deaths are on those index cards yet and the 1850s are pre-cert. Also, the employees don't like to do the time-consuming difficult work of searching the films and you will likely get 'not found' when it is indeed there.  Further, death certs ordered online are more than $15--there is a search and postage fee which was up to about $20 several years ago when I stopped ordering them and did my own research on film. You will get more info directly from the film.  I have gotten a number of deaths and marriages from the 1850s.  Register with Family Search--free--find the film number--it's on the same page with the deaths you have already located.  Enter your zip code to find the nearest place they can send the film so you can read it.  I was amazed to find my local public library listed.  It doesn't have to be a Family History Center.                            Good luck--Virginia From: Gary Knecht via <ny-irish@rootsweb.com>   Can someone point me to a good discussion that includes a clear description of holdings of the Municipal Archives? I’m interested in deaths in Manhattan between 1854 and 1860. As I recall from previous visits, one can search microfilms of index cards that take you to ledger books which list death information. At some point in the 1860s, ledger books are replaced by death certificates that can be ordered for $15 (online) or $11 (in person). What year is that? Using FamilySearch, I have death information for six people from the database: "NY, NY Municipal Deaths, 1795-1949”. The folks I’m looking for all died 1854 to 1860. On thing I’d like to know is what additional information (if any) will I get from the Municipal Archives if I pay $15? Gary Knecht Oakland, CA

Pat, Know that every anonymous grandmother on this list has a sense of relief and rejoices with you on Sean's positive progress! Maureen

Hi Gary, The certificate format for NY & Kings Counties began ca. 1864. Ledgers were maintained prior to that. Entries are one meaty line of data, and usually include name (or sex, with birth entries), race, parents' names, street address, date of event. Although the NYC Muni Archives has microfilms pre-1864: l) some dates are missing, 2) some films are in horrific condition, 3) some are so disjointed that you must view them image by image, * 4) some are illegible and can't be enlarged on Muni film readers, 5) some have gaps. Last week I spent 45 minutes on such a film that was so disjointed that it had burps of chronology here and there. It probably could have taken me another 2 hours to hand roll through it, image by image.

I don't if this will help you any but I have two death "certificates" from NYC from the old ledgers (mine were in Manhattan). One is from 1860 and the other is from 1862. In both cases, I was provided with the full page that had my listing on it. In both cases, these were the columns of information: Date of Decease Name Age (Years/Month/Age) Residence (this generally shows a street address) Place of Nativity (Generally shows country or state -- no city) Disease Cemetery Occupation Remarks/Attending Physician (In the 1860 ledger, the words "Attending Physician" were handwritten below the heading and all the columns were filled in with a doctor's name. In the 1862 ledger, the heading Remarks had been replaced with the printed heading Attending Physician) ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NY-IRISH-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
