New York State Cemeteries Name/Location Inventory 1995-1997, compiled by the Association for Municipal Historians of New York State (3 vols.). Heritage Books, the publisher, donated copies to New York Public Library, New York State Library in Albany, and several other libraries in New York State so they should be available via interlibrary loan. The inventory, based on information supplied by local historians, is organized by county, and then by town. Data includes type of cemetery (e.g. religious), status (active or inactive), founding date, location, and contact person or organization, but many entries have incomplete information.

In addition to the American Jewish Yearbook and the WPA book, an excellent source on landsmanshaftn is the "Jewish Communal Register of New York City, 1917-1918" that book also lists NYC Jewish cemeteries; for many, acreage is included--a very useful bit of info when one is "cold calling" every cemetery, i.e. find out which are the largest and call those first. The book describes Jewish cemeteries that once existed in Manhattan on 32nd, 89th, and 105th Streets, and on Madison Avenue in the 70's. Beginning in the 1850's, which brought soaring real estate prices and legislation restricting further interments in Manhattan, remains were moved from those burial places to new cemeteries in Queens and Brooklyn. Consequently, Bayside, Beth El, and other cemeteries contain the graves of people who died years before the cemeteries opened. Source: Renee Steinig, RSteinig@suffolk.lib.ny.us [February 2001]

Organizations such as burial societies are listed in the 1907-08 edition of the American Jewish Yearbook , which contains hundreds of landsmanshaften and other groups. In 1938, the Yiddish Writers Group of the WPA (Works Progress Organization) conducted a survey of landsmanshaften and family circles. The books detailing the results of the survey and the organizations that responded are available in the Jewish Division of the New York Public Library. Most of it is in Yiddish, but a list of the groups is in English. Source: Judy Baston; e-mail: JRBaston@aol.com

Note: Flora and Herbert Gursky of Great Falls, Virginia, compiled a list of burials in the New York City area from the landsmannshaft societies of Lysyanka and Tagancha, Ukraine, and of Raciaz (Racionz), Sokolka and Kuznica in Poland. The information includes the name of the individual and, when available, birth and death dates, age, Hebrew name, and family relationship annotations.

Portions of three Jewish cemeteries survive in Manhattan: on Chatham Square (c. 1656-1831), West 11th Street (1805-1829), and West 21st Street (1829-1851). They are owned by Shearith Israel (the "Spanish-Portugese Synagogue") : http://www.sephardicstudies.org/csi11.html, New York City's first and oldest congregation. Manhattan has few cemeteries due to an 1865 law prohibiting new burials. Cemeteries moved outside of Manhattan, purchasing sites in outer boroughs.
