LeValley Cemetery

1904 LeValley Cemetery Map, Hartland

The following digitized map was found on searchiqs.com. Info Quick Solutions, Inc. (IQS) is a site that the Niagara County Clerk has partnered with to digitize many of their books and maps.

This LeValley Cemetery map was originally found in Book 12 on Page 1146.

What is especially interesting is that the map says “The tiers of lots numbered from 1 to 10 represent the original ground known as the Harrington Cemetery.” That is the first mention I have seen of a cemetery of that name in Niagara County. Will need to conduct some newspaper and map research to look for other mentions of Harrington Cemetery.

DAR Unpublished Cemetery Records of Niagara County 1969

Since the 1910s, the Daughters of the American Revolution have been transcribing unpublished records to help preserve them. They then publish these as part of the Genealogical Record Committee (GRC) Reports.

To learn more about these reports, you can read my blog: https://jeanettesgenealogy.com/dar-grc-reports-part-1-of-3-background/.

One of the GRC Reports is a 208-page volume (#317 of the Cemetery, Church, and Town Record Reports) from the DAR Niagara Falls Chapter (of which I am a member) of records that were copied from the Niagara County Historian’s Office.

The report lists the name of the person that was buried, born, died, and the name of the cemetery.

Here is the FamilySearch link to the volume (#317): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSS9-J4SZ-S?.

Multiple volumes were put on the same microfilm reel. Here is the breakdown of the images:
