Barbara, many people that lived in Manhattan were buried at Lutheran Cemetery - and one did not even have to be Lutheran to have been buried there. Call them up on the telephone and ask them if she was buried there - there are helpful folks at the Lutheran Cemetery's offices.

On the subject of cemetery's:   I am looking for my aunt, Blanche Agnes O'Brien, DOB, October 11, 1916, born @409 Nuber Avenue, Mt. Vernon, New York.  I have her birth certificate, but can't find place of death.   In November, 1922, her mother, Blanche Leitch O'Brien and her brother, William Fuller O'Brien were living @215 East 51st Street, New York City. Her father died June 22, 1922 and the story was she was hit by a truck and died prior to her father's death.   She had a grandmother, Ella Leitch who lived in Keansburg.  There are a lot of Leitch's buried in Greenwood Cemetery, but Blanche Agnes O'Brien  is not.   I have called several Catholic cemeteries and she is not buried there.  I have sent for death certificate in Westchester County, but they didn't find one.  I sent away to Albany for a death certificate for the years 1920-1922 and they didn't find one.  Maybe she died before 1920?   Any help in this matter will be appreciated. Thanks, Patricia O'Brien Newton Amelia Island, Florida --- On Mon, 10/17/11, Jim Garrity <jimgarrity@earthlink.net> wrote: From: Jim Garrity <jimgarrity@earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [NYC-ROOTS] what cemetery could this be?
