I have just taken over the hosting of the Queens County Website for the American Local History Network (ALHN) and the American History and Genealogy Project (AHGP). Since it is quite new, it is involving. So far, I have uploaded pages for the towns and villages as described by French's 1860 Gazetteer of the State of New York. I realize some are now in Nassau County but I have included them for the purpose of Genealogy for those of us researching Queens before 1898. Queens was one of the 12 original counties of New York state being created in 1683. I also have loaded pages covering mailing lists, message boards and neighboring counties' links. The first genealogical page uploaded covers Naturalization and Citizenship. I also have a webpage where you can list your Queen's County surnames. There is a form on the page for you to enter your data and I will update the site on a regular basis. If you have any Queen's county data that you would like to share to help others in their family research, please contact me off list. I would be more than happy to include it on the website. Items of interest include but are not limited to: census data, naturalization/citizenship records, church and vital records and directory entries. I am interested in your comments about the website and what subjects you would like to see covered there. Please write me off list. Pages to come shortly will cover the censuses, passenger records, church records, vital records, etc. You can access the website at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyqueen2/ -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
