Bio

Consulting Forensic Genealogist, Bode Technology (2020–present); Program Administrator: GenProof Study Groups (2022–present);
Academic Professional: Genealogy Studies, Boston University (Jan 2018–Dec 2021); Council Member: N. E. Historic Gen. Society (2015–2022); VP, Program Chair, Publicist: APG Virtual Chapter (2018–20).

Memorials have been updated or created for every person identified as buried in Tyringham Cemetery, based on extensive searches over many years in vital records, newspapers, probate records, family papers and other sources.

Many people who died at Tyringham were buried in other communities, particularly Monterey and Lee, so someone who died at Tyringham was not necessarily buried in the town cemetery. Additionally, Monterey and Tyringham were once one community and the southern part--now Monterey--was the original Tyringham. What's now Tyringham was called "Hop Brook." When the two communities split in 1847, Hop Brook became Tyringham and the original Tyringham settlement was renamed Monterey. Tyringham town cemetery was established in 1797.

I live in Colorado, so I can't do lookups in Tyringham Cemetery or in the town historical room. The members of the Tyringham Historical Commission very generously try to accommodate individual requests. Their contact information is posted on the town website.
