One thing I suggest to people, is that dealing with any cemetery, you ask them if they can also provide affidavits. Not all cemeteries do, and those that do may not mention it to you. The affidavit shows the transfer of ownership of a plot, and generally shows the then current address of the person title was held by. Best Wishes, Judy Herbert

I do not know if anyone has made records by burial # for Oakwood, but I contacted Oakwood Cemetery directly for my ancestors' records, and they sent me the complete records on my family for $10.00. This was 4 years ago. I would call the cemetery first. I spoke to a "Bernie" and he was very courteous and helpful. The records included a hand drawn map of my family's plot with each grave identified, and then a separate record of each interment, which included the interment #, name, place of birth, residence, age (years, month and days so you can figure out the date of birth), date & cause of death, date and place of internment (section & lot), funeral director, nearest relative or friend or parents' names. Not all fields were completed, but there was a lot of info provided. I don't know if you live locally, but the address of Oakwood is 50-101st St. Troy NY 12180, phone # 518-272-7520.

I have some copies of family plot records from Oakwood Cemetery in Troy. Unfortunately, most of the interments list only the Burial No., Grave No., Name and age at time of death. It would be nice to know the date of death. For many of the departed, I really would just like to know the year they were interred. Has anyone ever prepared a table of the sequential burial numbers and the year they were assigned. Better yet would be a table of the number range for each month by year but maybe that would not be worth the effort. Would the records copied by the LDS include all the burial numbers and what year they represent? I wonder if it would be worthwhile to go through the microfilms and try to set up an index table for the Rensselaer Website? For example, I have a cousin, Elizabeth MITER Reynolds for whom I do not have a birth date. I can't find her in the census records and am trying to at least establish a death date from an Oakwood plot layout. She is recorded as Burial #28432 Age 33. If I knew the year of the burial from the Burial #, I would then have an approximate birth and death year. There are a number of Miter family plots in Oakwood and I would find a table very useful. Of course, I can order the films in an get even more information and perhaps I'll do so this winter. The LDS films are: Index to interments, A-G - FHL US/CAN Film [ 1434121 ] Index to interments, G-Z Books of interments, v. 1-2 1835-1896 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 1434122 ] Books of interments, v. 3-4 1896-1938 (Volumes 3-4 contain a few dates for interments moved to Oakwood from elsewhere) Plot books, v. 1-2 1835-1985 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 1434123 ] Plot books, v. 2 (cont.) to v. 5 1835-1985 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 1434124 ] Plot books, v. 6-7 1835-1985 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 1434125 ] Brad Miter (rambling on on a snowy day in Ohio)

Hi I am wondering if someone could help me to do some lookups for Cohoes in the City Directories in the 1880's if available.? I tried on the Albany List and didn't have much success. I am willing to pay you for your time and copies. Sharon

This is not about weather number one.. but I want to share a story about that word and how it's spelt. I learned to speak it as I sounded it out. She chuckles every time I say it because we do not sound like we are talking about the same place at our genealogy meetings. Pronunciation is vital to determine if its a different place or same place and that is why we have such a hard time determining places let alone names of people. Now JIM we can get back on track but I never thought it was off since pronunciation is critical to determine if same place. Dare we get into Tomatoooe tomaaato. IT's okay ... My Aunt was from RHODE ISLAND and that language is another world of it's own but I love to hear it spoken. Then go south to Alabama or over to GA again different and down to TExas .. Whoooweee Have a Blessed HOLIDAY everyone. I have SWEET JONES JOHNSON DREW for starts in this county. SusiCP Family Historian It's the Indian in me.....:>)
