Photographs and descriptions of cemeteries and graves I have visited while researching my family history, as well as genealogical comments.
Introduction
Welcome to my genealogy Cemetery and Gravestone Photos page. The purpose of this blog is to share the photos I have accumulated while researching my family history. It is my hope that in doing this it will help someone else with their genealogy research.
In addition to the cemetery sites I have personally visited, I will also share with you any photos that have been sent to me or that I have found which relate to the family lines I am researching. The surnames I am currently interested in are Woodside, Smith, Getty, Lyons, Morrow, and Pettit on my maternal line; Dugan/Dougan, Stewart, Swift, Letton, and Spahr on my paternal line.
Elmlawn Cemetery is located in Kenmore, just north of Buffalo, New York, at 3939 Delaware Avenue. Located in this cemetery are the graves for my grandfather's brother - William J. Woodside, Sr. - as well as his wife, 3 of his children and and their families. All are located in the West Chapel Lawn section.
