St. Mary’s Cemetery is a 100 acre Catholic
cemetery located in Troy, New York and is located at 79 Brunswick
Road, Troy, NY. Consecrated as the parish cemetery for St.
Mary’s Church in Clinton Heights in 1848, the cemetery
has long served Catholics from all areas of Troy.
The interment books for St. Mary’s Cemetery
in Troy are now maintained at the main location of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Albany Cemeteries at St. Agnes Cemetery
in Menands, New York.
In the area of preservation of records, St. Agnes
Cemetery has partnered with the Troy Irish Genealogy Society
to assist in scanning and transcribing the fragile St. Mary’s
Cemetery interment books. Each interment index will then be
available for review on the Troy Irish Genealogy website.
For Books 1 to 4, the on-line index of these interments will
show the name, date of death and age of the individual. Genealogy
and family researchers will then be able to request additional
information on their family members which may be available
in the St. Mary’s Cemetery interment records.
Copies of additional information in the St. Mary’s
cemetery records for Books 1 to 4 that may be of interest
to genealogy and family researchers can be ordered from the
St. Agnes Cemetery Office for a fee of $5.00. The additional
information, which may be available, will vary depending upon
the individual interment book.
Book 5 of the cemetery records, however, has ALL
of the information from the interment books, with the exception
of cause of death, posted on the TIGS website. It is no longer
necessary to request additional information on these records
from the cemetery office. Additional Book 5 items on the website
are:
Late Residence Address
Date of Interment
Section, Lot & Location Numbers
Name of Undertaker
Remarks if Any
Social State: married, widowed, single, etc.
