About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Cemetery is comprised of two cemeteries: Bikur Cholim Cemetery and B'nai Israel Cemetery, two congregations that are no longer in existence. They opened in 1849, closed in 1856, and were obliterated in 1857, when the land was taken for Central Park.

What little is known was located by Elizabeth Meade, an archaeologist who found a reference to it when she was doing her dissertation on NYC cemeteries. She found a reference to a "Jewish Burial Ground" at some lots on 94th street in an 1848 tax assessment ledger and deeds show those lots were owned by B'nai Israel and Bikur Cholim.

No record has been found of where the remains in the cemetery were removed to.
