Town Historian John Hammond of Oyster Bay, New York has released a guide for genealogists called “Historic Cemeteries of Oyster Bay”. Cemeteries are an important resource for many people delving into genealogy, and John has done the leg work by documenting every known pre-1920 cemetery in the Town.
The guide includes a list of 121 cemeteries, some of which no longer exist and some of which are still active, and where transcription records can be found. The listing is done first by present day locality and then alphabetically by the most commonly known name. The graves of several thousand individuals can be looked up.
