    2. On 2/10/04 (7:46:28 PM MST), in a posting to the Nassau County Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYNASSAU-L@rootsweb.com and that I re-posted to li-rooters@listserv.genexchange.com and NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com, Ken Simpson (ksimpson@optonline.net) asked, "Looking for any information on the Cemetary on Oakfield Road (Ave?) in Wantagh. It had been part of the Zion Church that was once there and contains the resting place of Civil War Veterans and Slaves. Any information anyone could give on this would be gratefully appreciated." In reply to this query, David Roberts (droberts@olg.com) asked me to post the following: Walter: You can post this to the NY-LONGISLAND-L list. I'm not on it. A history of this cemetery is on a LDS film of Wantagh Cemeteries. I put it on the Nassau NYGenExchange site. When the GenExchange ever gets back up, the history of the cemetery is there for all to see. I believe the church is now Episcopal, but it may have been Methodist at one time in its history. David Thanks David. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan
