DETAILED
DIRECTIONS for finding these
cemeteries.
NOTE:
The "Sgrecci-Howard lists" were compiled by
JoAnn Sgrecci (1930-1988),
Helena Howard & others in the 1980s. They
visited cemeteries & added
to the older lists made in the 1920s & 1930s by
local D.A.R. volunteers.
Their lists were generously provided by Helena Howard
from her collection.
These lists often contain data from stones that are
no longer visible today.
"Fenton Lists" - From the mid-1990s
until
the present, Bill Fenton has been
engaged in the huge project of rechecking all
the cemeteries & creating
updated lists. These are considered the most
up-to-date lists which are kept
on file in the local historical society.
Many thanks to Bill for making some
of his lists available to this website.
You can write to the local Historical
Society to check Bill's remaining lists.
(See "Where
to
Write")
Bill also provided directions
to the cemeteries.
Several other people have provided detailed readings
of specific
cemeteries as noted in the index below. Many
thanks for all their help!
!! Please note that
the-lists-may-contain-mistakes-and-omissions.
!!
If in doubt, try to verify the information here by
referring to a primary
resource, such as a death record, census or bible
record,
obituary, etc.
!! Please contact
Linda if you find a mistake & not the local historical
society.

CENSUS & DIRECTORY LISTS:
(try
the
site
search
engine to find a name quickly.)
*
A
few
things
to
keep
in
mind
as
you look at the census.....
1.
Occupations, years of residence and some other info was omitted from
these
lists in some cases. Complete
census
info
is
generally
available
from
a
local library or the Schuyler
Co., NY Historical Society.
2.
People sometimes labeled "servants" or "boarders" may have been foster
children or apprentices.
3.
Birthplaces may differ within the family, though the family may not
have
moved at all....the county boundaries
may
have
moved.
Go
here
for county boundary changes & dates.
4.
It is surprisingly common for people to appear on two different
censuses
for a given year. It happens in cases
where
the
person
was
staying
with
relatives,
or counted both at work and
home, for example. (Since different
locations
may
have
been
done
on
different
days.)
Lists arranged by date, going from
1810 forward to WWII:
- 1810 census - HECTOR
(partial) - formerly part of Tompkins co.,
NY
- page one only.
The
1855 & 1875 Census are from the collection of Helena Howard
who
spent
many
hours
hand-copying
the
lists
from
the
originals at the Schuyler co.,
NY
courthouse.
Her
dedication,
her
local
knowledge
and
her generosity
have been
vital
to
this
website.
