Green-Wood Cemetery, located in Brooklyn, has recently created a new searchable database of detailed burial records from 1840 to 1937.
This is different from Green-Wood’s Burial Search because the information is from a series of handwritten ledgers updated daily by Cemetery administrators over its first century.
These records contain not only name, interment date, and location in the Cemetery, but additional demographic data. Each record includes age at death in years, months, and days; cause of death; place of birth; most recent street address; marital status, name of the undertaker, and other data points.
Searching can be done using Boolean, Fuzzy, Phrase, Fielded, and Wildcard searches.
