There were two major Minsk landsmanschaften in New York City --
the Minsker Independent Benevolent Association and the United Minsker
Benevolent Association. At their height, I've read, each had over
1,000 members.
My grandfather was active in the Minsker Independent Benevolent
Association, which was founded in 1892. I have in my possession a
huge frame containing head shots of the membership in 1901.
Each photo has the first initial and last name written beneath it.
There are 27 vertical rows of photos, about 450 photos in all.
I've gone through the photos, taken down all of the names that are
still legible, and put them in alphabetical order by row, so that
they can be searched by row.
If you find a family name and want to proceed further to look for
death dates and other information, the Minsker Independent Benevolent
Association had cemetery property in the following cemeteries:
Mount Hebron, Flushing, Queens, NY, 1-718-939-9405
Mount Lebanon, Glendale Queens, NY, 1-718-821-0200
Washington Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY, 1-718-377-8690.
I believe Mount Lebanon was the most significant.
Washington was the site of the earliest burials, I think.
