Cemetery Records
As you can imagine, there are a lot of Cemeteries in New York.
Along with the 1891 Gazetteer, Judy and Her Volunteers found and transcribed a lot of
records of old Cemeteries. The Records were all typed in various formats. For the most part, there are no changes to the way they were typed, except to say that the RootsWeb code has been stripped. This process does not change the text.
Here is a 'sample' 1891 Gazetteer Page, Scroll down, the Cemetery Links are at the bottom of each page.

Many years ago, it was thought that abstracting and transcribing Census Records was helpful to Visiting Researchers: Personally, I have always felt that the interpretation of hand written records is better left to the individual researcher. But, that said, it is not my call to dump these records that Judy and her Volunteers produced. So, they are here in their original form, saved as pdf files in the interest of simplicity.
Here are Census records for 1810 [9 Townships] ~ 1860 [Addison]
And Individual Townships of:
Addison, 1825 & 1835 ~ Greenwood, 1840 ~ Jasper, 1835 ~ Prattsburgh, 1835 ~ Pulteney, 1825 ~ Troupsberg, 1835 ~ Woodhull, 1835
