Title: Oakland Cemetery Yonkers Westchester Co NY
Post by: Laytown on Sunday 15 April 12 16:16 BST (UK)

Good Afternoon,
Recently with the help of a very kind lady at the above cemetery I was able to locate 3 family graves. I have the plot numbers & wondered if anyone is visting the cemetery would you be prepared to photograph the graves for me.
I'm in the UK so no chance of going there myself.
Many thanks for your time.

Have you checked at Findagrave to see whether those individuals are recorded there? If not, you might consider joining and adding them yourself. Either way, you can request photos, even if the memorial was created earlier by someone else; my requests at Oakland were snapped up promptly.

Hi JSK,
Yes they are on Find A Grave -to date there are 31 o/s photo requests for Oakland Cemetery going back to May 2011.
Find A Grave certainly appears less active in parts of the USA than it has been.
