Some additions
I uploaded the Barrington cemetery pages to the GenWeb site today. This completes the cemeteries in all nine towns and in two of the villages. Still remaining are the two Catholic cemeteries in Penn Yan, Lakeview cemetery in Penn Yan, and Hillside cemetery in Dundee. I estimate when everything is up there will be a minimum of 70,000 names in the general index, which is far more than the living population of the county has ever been (about 23,000).
I solicit updates, additions and corrections to any of the cemetery pages. Just send the information in an email to <history@yatescounty.org>. I have an excellent set of corrections to City Hill cemetery in Torrey, and a promise of periodic updates to the village cemetery in Rushville. I thought I’d get everything up the first time before working on the updates, but of course I could change my mind.
I have also added a page to the continuing Bardeen/Orr saga, containing the censuses that I used in the research on the Bardeen family. More next week.
I put a link on the GenWeb page of the website to this blog, in hopes of luring more viewers here. Otherwise, it’s kind of like giving a party to which nobody comes.
