@Barbara M Leydecker:
Pardon me for a generic answer, but LI is a fairly large area so if you have possibilities of a more specific location it would help.

Here's a listing of LI cemeteries:
http://longislandgenealogy.com/cemindex.html

Look at the ones in the 516 (Nassau) and 631 (Suffolk) area codes. Also check 718 if Queens is a possibility. (Calvary in Queens was extremely active in that time period, but you will need a death or burial date for them as they cannot look up by name.)

You can also check out a some listings by county:

Finally you can find more listing using this Google search:

Do you know what area of Long Island the cemetery is located (North Shore, South Shore, East End)? St. Patrick's in Brookville (North Shore) could fit the description.

I'm looking for a Long Island catholic cemetery which would have been around in 1874 and still accepting burials in 1927. Any ideas?

Forgot yo give first names, sorry about that. The one I'm looking for is David B. Stillman, who marrried Esther on the date given below. He says his Civil War records that he was born in New York. but I am unable to locate the right David b. in 1824.

Bennett-Stillman marriage took place in East Hampton, LI in 1846, Esther Bennett, daughter of Henry Bennett & Abagail Edwards. I am unable to find them in 1850 census and by 1860 they had moved ti Wi. Their children were Alice, Henry B., Lydia, Charles; the rest may have been born in WI.

Hey Frances! I have some Van Nests on my mom's side, WAAAAY back in New York in the 1600's. Related to the Deckers and Brokaws and Op Den Graffs in my tree.

Jeannine - The Green County Historical Society, which is a part of and located at the Vedder Library in Green County is a wonderful research resource for that area of the country. Their volunteers are also at the Vedder Library on a regular basis and are available to do lookups. Green County is really well organized. I didn't find Clinton County, across the river, as well organized when I was there several years ago, with volunteers on duty regularly, but they did have books published of records. I bought one of each that were available while I was there, since my husbands 4th and 5th great grandfathers were named in them. The graveyards in the area were invaluable, along with the many, many small state historical sites and museums, and especially the docents at the Bethpage state living museum on Long Island.

Thank you Joan. I also descend from John and Elizabeth Feake through their son John (b. abt. 1639) and his wife Elizabeth PRIOR.

Frances ... I was unaware of the Vedder Library resource. Thank you for noting it here. We live on Vancouver Island (on the other coast) and it is my dream to travel to NY some time in the next couple of years. Thank you for sharing this info with us.
