    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: LizzieLev Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.westchester/7059.2.2.2.1.1.1.2.2.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: hi all, the westchester co. historical society put together a complete list of all the cemeteries in the county. i found 2 locations listed as the 'Alms House Cemetery' in the town of Greenburgh. it shows the approximate location and dates when they were used. you will notice a site that nobody has spoken about on this thread, and that is a site listed at the end of the DEAD END OF FAIRVIEW PARK DRIVE. i have attached a snapshot of the cemetery info for you to read. if the county paid for these burials, i can't understand why none of us can get our hands on a list or a ledger that shows the names of the folks they interred. it makes sense that there were accounting ledgers maintained somewhere which showed which burials the county paid for. i personally have called the local clerks offices and the historical society and the county archives, and nobody has a list of the interred in that East View Cemetery. if you look at the county archives website, you will see that they have microfilms of the County Almshouse records. but in addition, i found out that the archives was creating an index of names of all of the 'inmates' of the Almshouse. so if you think your relative was a resident of the Almshouse &/or they died while living there, contact the archives directly and ask them to look up the surname for you. because those records contain lots of great info on each person.
