The burial records before the mid 1930's were lost in a fire. Tom Hanley, the archivist at Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) has the records kept after that fire. If you are local and want to stop and talk with him, Tom plans to join us in the cleanup tomorrow. Or you can contact Tom directly - he works at IHM on Thursdays and Fridays. Here's his contact info: thanley@ihm.rcpw.prg (518) 273-6020. IHM asks for a $20 donation to do a search but it is extensive and can include baptisms, marriages, etc as well as burials. He does also have some earlier plot purchase records, but I don't think that he has anything for the oldest sections. Tom was able to tell me that my great-great-grandfather bought several 4-grave plots in 1874, but cannot tell me if they were all used - so there is a stone with three names and possibly more of my ancestors are buried in that extended plot, but we'll never know. Chris Phillipo has started documenting the stones in the old sections, but for unmarked graves in the oldest sections there is probably nothing.
