Cemeteries

Cemeteries are an excellent source of genealogical information. More importantly however they are where are ancestors are burred and such are hollowed ground.  People were usually buried in the towns where they lived. Here in the United States that was not so simple especially since most Jews lived in big cities now metropolitan areas. In Europe they relied on their community which in the US  was their Landsmenshaft (hometown society of Jewish people) or a family burial society. These Societies bought burial plots in established cemeteries and provided those plots to society members.

 Both the 1st Novoselitzer Benevolent Society and the Independent Noveselizer Society bought sections in Staten Island's
Baron Hirsch Cemetery

For some reason unknown to me my father and two of his brothers belonged to different Landsmenshaften, another brother is buried in a family plot while the oldest was murdered in the Transnistria and I suspect no information regarding his burial place is known.
It is my understanding that my uncles brothers where all married to women from Noveselitsia and it's probable that their familes members were in those societies and some may even be buried in Baron Hirsch. None
the less I have maps of those sections which are linked below. You will notice that there are several small sections of family plots that are also of Noveselitsia origin.

Overview

1st Novoselitzer had one section #39 
 Plot locations

While the Independent Novoselitzer has two sections #37 is located in the same area as #39 (unfortunatly I don't have the plot map for #37)
while #42 is in a different location.  You will notice that the Altman Plot,  Noveselitzer #46  above it
#42 Plot map

The Worker's Circle has many large sections in cemeteries all over the USA. Members of Branch 498 Noveselizer Progresive who took advantage of the Cemetery department could be buried in any one of them. Information regarding a member of the Worker's Circle can be obtained by contacting the organization  at info@circle.org. Since many people had similar names the more information you provide will better they will be able to assist you.
