I’m getting ready for another one of my porch sales. I decided that I no longer need to keep my paper copies of the tombstone records that I made in the 1990s and early 200s. There are copies at the Rochester Public. Library, FamilySearch and on the Monroe County GenWeb. I haven’t pull then down in 10 to 15 years. So there will be a binder of tombstone records for sale by each Town

I thought I had scanned everything in the binders but as I looked through them I found things that have never been scanned. So I created 3 new web pages and a new large PDF files.

• Lakeside Cemetery of Hamlin, NY. I have three very old tombstone lists for this cemetery. One is from a newspaper article in 1890. There are some inscriptions that look as if an old tombstone was later replaced with a smaller and less detailed inscription. Then in 1934 two groups of ladies from the Daughters of the American Revolution copied inscriptions in the cemetery. Each of those had some tombstone inscriptions that weren’t in the other list. I combined all three lists and then added references to which list or lists the inscription is in. This only has tombstone up to 1934 so for later burials you should refer to the Find a Grave list for the cemetery.
• A list of tombstone inscriptions in Parma Union Cemetery from 1928 that was done by Mary T. Douglas of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I’ll bet there a few tombstones that weren’t on later records of this cemetery.
• Deaths (1836 – 1881) from Freewill Baptist Church, East Penfield, NY. This list is so old that it is something that I typed on my old typewriter. That means it is from 1984 when I got a computer.  These are deaths extracted from the records of the church that were published in the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine, (volume 34, 1970).
• Membership records of Rochester Baptist Church from 1818 to about 1854 (PDF file). As this is a Baptist church, baptism were only performed to adults. A person could be admitted by baptism or from a letter from another church. People discharged left on friendly terms, usually to go to another church. People could be expelled for dancing, drinking alcohol, playing cards. etc. Many were expelled for not coming to church in a long time.

I will have another post about my sale in a couple of days.
