She is not listed at Greenwood Cemetery either although there are a LOT of folks with that last name there...I don't know if looking there might help you connect any other family "dots" http://www.green-wood.com/ On the brooklyn site I posted above (my first reply) they have lists of Brooklyn Cemeteries....If you know her probable religion, you can narrow it down even further Most cemeteries do not have on line lists, and searching them can be tedious and expensive...but it is worth a try...I'd try calling first to see what info might be available...I had great luck with Trinity Cemetery in Manhattan...they gave me info on the phone and faxed me info within minutes...so you never know until you try It is probably not going to be easy, but perhaps searching the cemeteries would be a start? You can check Vital Statistics in NY, but with no idea of even what year, that would probably get expensive. Have you tried the mormom website? www.familysearch.org The Brooklyn Eagle on line is also a bit tedious, but with a name that is not common like yours, it might not be too bad... You DO have my sympathies for the needle in the haystack search...I have a few of those going myself... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
