Cemeteries

This area is not an index for all inscriptions of a given cemetery. Is is a repository of photographs of Haviland tombstones (or immediate relations thereof), with the suspected parents and spouses listed where possible, and the alleged birth and death dates listed where possible. It is not uncommon for the dates on tombstones to be wrong! Even my own 2nd great grandfather, Roger Foster Haviland, has a date on his tombstone that does not match his death certificate. So be aware that if you find dates on a tombstone that don't match your records, keep both and notate where they came from. The genealogical annotations I provide are based on my own records, and 95% of my records rely on the Haviland Genealogy reference by Josephine C. Frost, as does just about everyone else's since 1914. I have, however, corrected some of her material.

This project began at the Gerow Cemetery, up in Haviland Hollow (a valley which stretches between Northeast Putnam County, NY to Western Fairfield County, CT). I was there trying to find my own direct ancestors, and took photographs of all the gravestones with the Haviland surname that I could find. I matched these up with individuals in my database and found that they were all cousins. But they are somebody's direct ancestors, and not everybody has access to these cemeteries like I do, so I decided to put them up on the web for other descendants to view. I then set out to find more graves, and I've started building a library. I've found a few of my closest direct ancestors, but I still have a long way to go, and I need your help!

If you have photos of any tombstones, morgues, tombs, monuments, cemeteries or maps to cemeteries where Havilands or descendants of Thomas, Sieur De Haveilland are buried (anywhere in the US), or images of rubbings for said graves, send them to me and I'll upload them here.

Please see my MOST WANTED LIST of graves. Maybe you can help me find them!
