Seeking burial site of my grandmother

Marilyn Glasser Aug 7, 2019 9:43 AM

How to find out where my grandmother is buried? My grandmother, who could have had several names, came to New York from Warsaw Poland in 1914. After 1925 there is no information to be found on what happened to her, where she lived, where and when she died, which may or may not have been in Brooklyn New York around the sections of Williamsburg or Greenpoint. I am not sure how to proceed from here and would appreciate guidance. Thank you. Marilyn

Dear Ms. Glasser,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest that you search the New York State Archives microfiche index to death certificates in order to locate her death certificate. You may wish to search online resources such as New York Deaths and Burials, 1795-1952 on FamilySearch, and the Social Security Death Index which is now digitized and available on Ancestry that may be searched for the name variants available.

The New York City Municipal Archives genealogy page may also be a good resource for additional information as well as New York Cemeteries to identify possible burial locations.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
