The
Graveyard Shift - A Family Historian's Guide To New
York City Cemeteries by Carolee
Inskeep
Trying to find some peace in the “City
that Never Sleeps” has always been difficult—even for dead New Yorkers. Rapid
development, rising property values, a lack of space, health concerns, and
government regulation have all conspired to move the dead from one graveyard to
the next. The Graveyard Shift carefully examines these moves and what they mean
for your research. Author Carolee Inskeep proficiently documents the changing
landscape of New York City cemeteries, telling the story behind each decision to
move, as well as providing the new names and locations of each burial ground.
This book, with its complete index, is an invaluable tool for anyone researching
New York City ancestors.
