"Wondering why these bks are housed at the City Eng. Office—?” https://www.facebook.com/pages/Troy-Irish-Genealogy-Society/264980077964 I don’t know. Ideally they ought to be in a fireproof vault. The Troy Charter article 13, § C-81 (C) puts the cemeteries under the Department of Parks and Recreation, not the City Engineer: "Duties of Commissioner of Recreation. The Commissioner of Recreation […] shall have the duty of supervising, managing, constructing, improving and maintaining the […] cemeteries, together with the buildings thereon; and he/she shall make such rules and regulations consistent with laws as may be necessary for the proper performance of his/her duties.” http://ecode360.com/11129587?highlight=cemeteries#11129587 I’d be curious to know if interment records have been kept for the municipal cemeteries from 1954-present (seemingly the last entries in the books were made in 1953). Someone was buried in Mount Ida Cemetery on Pawling Avenue just last year, and a few people were buried in New Mount Ida Cemetery on Pinewoods in the 2000s. Chris
