VIRTUAL Hart Island: The Island of Lost Souls, with Historian Toni McKeen

Hear about the rich, often somber history of New York City’s 130-acre public burial ground located in the Long Island Sound. Hart Island has been a well-kept secret with restricted access for decades. Learn about this potter’s field where over 1 million bodies are buried, give you a timeline of its complex history, and tell why it is of interest to genealogists.

Presenter: Toni McKeen is a historian, professional researcher and lecturer in the tri-state area. She presents a wide variety of programs on travel destinations around the world, as well as prominent artists throughout history. She is also a well-known local genealogist, and has been conducting research on her family for the last 30 years.
