There are two organizations of interest if you live in the
Buffalo region of New York and are looking to start tracing your Irish ancestry.
Firstly, there is the organization that is indispensible to every genealogist,
the local library system, in this case the Buffalo
and Erie County public library. They have produced a helpful online
publication, Irish
Genealogy: Selected Sources in the Grosvenor Room. The
Grosvenor Room houses the special collections.
Among the usual listing of books and resources, one in
particular caught my eye. The Buffalo Irish
Genealogical Society, the second relevant organization, carried out an
indexing project of Irish burials in Holy Cross
Cemetery, Lackawanna, NY. This index was published in the Buffalo
Irish Times, a paper aimed at the Irish community in the area. The
records cover 1872 to 1964, and are available on microfilm in the Grosvenor
Room, call number WNYGS ML229.
