You might try the former President of the New England Gravestone Society, an
archaeologist and professor on Long Island, Gaynell Stone, her MA on

database she developed was apparently applied in NYC by the first NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission Archaeologist, Sherene Baugher, Ph.D.,
(last I heard at Cornell U., landscape archaeology) who will be with other
archaeologists at:
