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.
DeletePat,
ReplyDeleteThe records were moved to the NY State Library. I have been able to find baptism, marriage and death records of many family members.

Thank you for the update, I'll look into these records.
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
