You might possibly be looking for me ? I am not a "Dr." however. I worked on marriage & death abstracts from the Huntington, Suffolk County, newspaper the "Long-Islander." The printed volume published by Heritage Books [now out of print, but they are sitting on the rights to my data & will not let me put the info on line] is "Deaths Reported by the 'Long Islander': 1878-1890." The on-line version available in the "Long Island Source Records" section of the great site: http://longislandgenealogy.com covers "Deaths Reported by the 'Long Islander': 1891-1900" and "Marriages Reported by the 'Long Islander': 1878-1900." The paper was published in Huntington & generally covers the Towns of Huntington, Smithtown, & Oyster Bay ... with scattered info from North Hempstead, Jamaica, Hempstead, Brookhaven, Riverhead, Babylon & Islip Towns + a good amount on Huntington, Oyster Bay, & Smithtown people who were married or died in Brooklyn or New York City + scattered info from all across the country on marriages or deaths of Huntington, Oyster Bay, & Smithtown people. You might find info on people from anywhere on Long Island, but west of Glen Cove the reporting isn't as extensive; ditto for the entire South Shore from the Rockaways on out; ditto for points east of Port Jefferson ... but if you are doing the North Shore from Glen Cove to Port Jefferson & south to the mid-point of the Island, chances are the death or marriage will be reported. I'll do look ups in my printed book for 1878-1890 BUT REALLY ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH DIRECT HUNTINGTON, SMITHTOWN, OR OYSTER BAY TOWN CONNECTIONS ... otherwise it's really a waste of your time to ask, since the coverage was so hit & miss outside those 3 Towns. The "South Side Signal" covers the Babylon & Islip area much better; ditto on the Jamaica, Flushing, & Hempstead papers for Queens County info; and ditto for any East End papers for the East End Towns.
