I spent about 4 hours transcribing burial records today, completing the first of six pages in the process. 40 new records are in the spread sheet now. Some names and addresses required cross-checking with Brooklyn and New York City directories, which took up time, and which was not always successful.

In the process I discovered the names of some long-lost streets, such
as Mansfield Place (perhaps a mews or private courtyard?) on W 51st St. between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

The sponsored notices in the back of these directories run from Yellow-pages style business listings to product advertisements.
