Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY

My G Grandfather Thomas Harkin/Harkins was a Butler and emigrated to NY in 1903 with the intention of bringing my G Grandmother and their children over at a later date but unfortunately died before he could do so, he died on 24th June 1906 and was buried on the 26th

I have got a copy of his death cert and have managed to locate were he is buried:

The Green-Wood Cemetery
500 25th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11232

Grave 335, Lot 30010, Section 135

I believe he is buried with his Sister and her Husband (Ellen & Hugh Nesbitt) who died in 1900/1899

This is a bit of a long shot but I am hoping there is someone in the area with a bit of spare time that could visit the grave to check if there is is a headstone, and if so then take a photo and email it to me.



I visited NY in 2007 but unfortunately this was before I realised my G Grandfather was buried there!

There are two volunteers on www.raogk.org who do gravestone pictures at that cemetery - maybe give one a try.

from the following website:  www.findagrave.com

Green-Wood Section 135, Lot 30010
According to cemetery records, the grave of Thomas Harkins (grave #335) is in this area, but a walk through of this section revealed no memorial stone.

A photo of the area in which Thomas is supposed to be is shown with the above information below the photo.

Hi thanks for the reply, this is the same info the RAOGK Volunteer sent me and it appears to have just recently been added to the findagrave.com site so I presume it was them who added it.
