Cemetery File

LH/G has an extensive collection of cemetery resources. Our Cemetery Card Catalog has listings by county, town and name of cemetery. The files give the author’s name and the call numbers for books containing transcriptions of cemetery records or name indexes for cemeteries.

Census Records

LH/G has the Federal census rolls for Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont for 1790 – 1880, and for 1900 - 1930 (except New Jersey which begins in 1830). Book indexes for the above states and many others are also available. Microfilm Soundex Indexes are available for New York State for 1880, 1900 and 1920. OCPL also subscribes to two full-text electronic indexes to the Federal Census.

Some New York State County Census records are also available in microfilm for the years 1855 to 1925.
