The Honor Roll Project - Mineola, NY

As part of Heather Wilkinson Rojo's Honor Roll Project, I have transcribed these Rolls of Honor in Mineola, NY to make the names visible to search engines so that family researchers may find them. Please consider finding the Honor Roll(s) in your town or village and transcribing them on your blog or website. And even if you don't have a blog or website, see the Honor Roll Project for instructions on how you can submit a transcription.

The war memorial and rolls of honor for Mineola are found in Memorial Park behind the Mineola Memorial Library.
