Hello! Whom has records of burials in this cemetery? I know that several years ago I spent many hours on two different visits looking for my great-great grandmother's grave. The only information I have is that she was buried in the German-Protestant Cemetery in Albany. I think your goal of restoring this beautiful cemetery is most admirable, and wish I still lived locally to help. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello Pat. I am one of the volunteers working in the cemetery. If you tell me your g-g-grandmother's name, I'll keep my eyes open when I'm there. I'm becoming familiar with a lot of the names. Also, if you haven't already done so, search her name on Findagrave and you may get a photo of the headstone and discover that you walked right past her stone because she's interred with others - happened to me with my g-g-g grandparents in this same cemetery.
DeleteHello Pat! Were you able to get the information regarding the location of your great, great grandmother's grave? I've been involved with the cemetery maintenance for the last season (along with Chris White and others), and have just received a copy of the cemetery plot map. If you are still looking for info, feel free to reach out (ron.ristau.55@gmail.com) and I will see if I can assist. If you know the owner of the plot, it would assist in locating the proper site. Thanks!
DeleteMy paternal relatives (the Gerricks) are buried here. I visit the cemetery from out of state when I can. Last month I was shocked and surprised that someone had professional restored my baby uncle (Henry Gerrick's stone) which a mower had apparently struck. He is buried in the children's section at the bottom of the hill. I have info that can help, although I see that u now know that the State archives now has possession of the records. My e mail is sherry_owen @ yahoo.com pls contact me, so we can talk via phone. Richard Garrick Owen
ReplyDeleteGood evening Richard! I'm reaching out to see if you were ever able to share your information on the cemetery? I've recently gotten involved in the maintenance and I'm looking into creating (or taking over) the current website and possibly creating a FB page. I'm very interested in family history and stories related to those individuals that are interred within the grounds. If you feel so inclined, you can reach out to me: ron.ristau.55@gmail.com
