Hi All,         Due to the generosity of someone who saw my website, I am now in possession of 11 CDV's of soldiers of the 127th NY.  Of the 11, 8 are identified, one of which I have not been able to locate on the roster, so I am still working on that one.  I have posted the other 10.  The 2 unidentified soldiers have been placed on a separate page. I hope someone can identify them.  I am sure they are from Company E, which was raised in Huntington.  When you go to the index page, you will see where they are listed.  As for the other ones, I have separate soldier pages for them. Here are the soldiers that I have pictures for, they are all listed under Company E. 1) William Eaton 2) George W. Bloxom 3) Michael Gilmartin 4) Nelson P. Smith ( there are 2 pics of him, one is post war) 5) John McGregor 6) James McGregor 7)Jacob Cornelius        The pictures all belonged to Nelson P. Smith, they were bought at an estate sale. I also have a bunch of CDV's of the Smith family, and others that I cannot identify.  Nelson P. Smith's wife was named Susan E.  They lived in CT after the war. Some of the other men that I have pictures for settled in CT too.        If anyone has info on the Smith family, please let me know.  Also, if anyone wants copies of these pictures, I'd be happy to e-mail them.                          Regards,                          Tony PS  I am up to 390 pages on the website, and I add new soldiers all the time.

Hey Gang! Haven't been on in a while......things are just too busy! Want to wish you all a Happy Easter! I have had some problems with ancestry.com, (long story, short version) now it looks like they don't want to refund my money or cancel my sub with them till October 2003, so you all have my permission to use my account. I have canceled my credit card, so they can't do this again to me in October. Remember, until October, so go back often, all the census indexes are not up to date, and you might not find the link right away.....if you don't find them in the index, you might have to go page by page, so have patience!

There are 2 cites and 3 towns in Nassau County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Glen Cove incorporated as a city in 1918 and became independent of the Town of Oyster Bay. Prior to that date, Glen Cove was a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the Town of Oyster Bay, initially in Queens County until January 1, 1899, and since then in Nassau County. Before it was called Glen Cove, the hamlet was called Musketa Cove. Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the City of Glen Cove is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound; on the east by the Villages of Lattingtown and Matinecock in the Town of Oyster Bay; on the south by the Hamlet of Glen Head and the Village of Sea Cliff in the Town of Oyster Bay; and, on the west by Long Island Sound. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), it has a different border than does the "Glen Cove, NY 11542" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Glen Cove mailing address and not be in Glen Cove). ..........................................acres .......City of Glen Cove..........4,336 .......Glen Cove, NY 11542....4,496 As you can see, some 160 acres or 3.5% of places with a Glen Cove mailing address are NOT in the City of Glen Cove. These places that have a "Glen Cove" mailing address, but are not in the City of Glen Cove are either in the Village of Lattingtown (incorporated in 1931) or the Village of Matinecock (incorporated in 1928) in the Town of Oyster Bay. For those who have their copy of the 2002 or earlier edition of the LI Population Survey or have already downloaded the report from the Long Island Power Authority web site (eMail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and download the report), you'll find the City of Glen Cove, Nassau County on pages 2, 5 & 11 (map) and 10 (population estimate).

County A county is a municipal corporation, a subdivision of the state, created to perform state functions; a "regional" government. All counties are divided into cities, towns and Indian reservations. City A city is a unique governmental entity with its own special charter. Cities are not sub-divided, except into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Town A town is a municipal corporation and encompasses all territory within the state except that within cities or Indian reservations. Towns can be sub-divided into villages and hamlets. Village A village is a general purpose municipal corporation formed voluntarily by the residents of an area in one or more towns to provide themselves with municipal services. The pattern of village organization is similar to those of a city. A village is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Hamlet A hamlet is an unincorporated area in one or more towns that is governed at-large by the town(s) it is in. A hamlet is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Postal Zone "City" and "Town" A postal zone "City" and "Town" is an administrative district established by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the mail. Postal zone "City" and "Town" may not (but are encouraged to) conform to municipal or community borders. Thus, postal zone location does not always determine city, village or hamlet location. Please be aware: In many areas of New York State, the problem of non-conforming postal zones leads to a situation where the majority of places have a different community name in their mailing address than the community where that place is actually located.

One of my ancestors died in 1927. Her death information only stated "154 Farmington Road" (no town was named). She is buried in Brookyn with her husband. Was her last address in another county though? THANKS! ~Judy

Last year someone posted the death of GRANT PEARSALL at Upola, Naavigators Group, Fiji Islands. The Poster only said it was from a 4 August 1894 paper. The complete post was "d. only a few years ago at Upola, Navigators Group, Fiji Islands,native of Pearsalls, who left Long Island nearly 30 years ago on a whaling ship; deserted at Pago Pago, samoa with a companion, ------Seaman of Sag Harbor, for years, ???? lived a roving life among the islands of Polynesia, finally setling down at Upola....where they took unto themselves native wives and adopted the manner and customs of the islands."

I grew up in Lynbrook at 61 Lafayette st, then 4 and 6 Edward Street. Grandparents lived at 72 Noble street. Edward street was in the unincorporated area near Malverne. Our mailing address was Lynbrook but nothing else was from Lynbrook. I believe we were protected by county agencies, fire and police. my Mom, who was from Lynbrook, referred to the Village of Lynbrook as either the 5 corners, (Pearsalls Corners) which would have been the interesection of Hempstead avenue and three other streets or the other shopping area just south of that intersection. The names of the other streets escape me just now. as far as I remember the village was the core of the shopping area and not a retirement home. regards, valerie class of 1961 Malverne. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I just found on the 1930 census that my grandmother, Sarah Herlihy Moynahan, was living in "Lynbrook Village, Nassau County,New York. Can anyone tell me if that was an "old age home," or simply the name of a town? Thank you." Lynbrook -- or Brooklyn spelled inside-out -- is a village (incorporated in 1911) in the central part of the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County. There are 22 villages and 36 hamlets (unincorporated areas) all or partly within the Town of Hempstead. There are 2 cities and 3 towns in Nassau County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Beginning on its northern border and proceeding clockwise: The Village of Lynbrook is bordered on the north by the Village of Malverne and the Hamlet of North Lynbrook; on the east by the Hamlet of Lakeview and the Village of Rockville Centre; on the south by the Village of East Rockaway and the Hamlet of Hewlett; and, on the west by the Village of Valley Stream. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Lynbrook has a different border than does the "Lynbrook, NY 11563" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Lynbrook mailing address and not be in Lynbrook and a place can be in Lynbrook and have other than a Lynbrook mailing address). .....................................acres ...Village of Lynbrook.......1,290 ...Lynbrook, NY 11563.....1,549 Thus, about one of every 7 places that have a Lynbrook mailing address are not in the Village of Lynbrook. (Most of these places that have a Lynbrook mailing address but are not in the Village of Lynbrook are in the Hamlet of North Lynbrook and the Hamlet of Hewlett. Meanwhile there are places in the Village of Lynbrook that have a Rockville Centre mailing address.) For those who have their copy of the 2002 or earlier edition of the LI Population Survey or have already downloaded the report from the Long Island Power Authority web site (eMail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and download the report), you'll find the Village of Lynbrook (incorporated in 1911) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 8 (map) and 9 (population estimate).
