    1. [NYNAS ] National Archives
    2. Unclefred
    3. Technology - AP 50 Million Historical Documents Hit Web Fri Apr 4, 2:31 PM ET By EUN-KYUNG KIM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Researchers, genealogists and the plain curious can now use the Internet to check more than 50 million historical records at the National Archives, from Civil War battles to family immigration files. Before the system became available, people had to either visit the Archives and spend hours combing through documents or request the files by phone and pay to have them mailed. "Now, people can pull these electronic records at their own convenience," said Michael Carlson, electronic and special media records director for the archives. "It's totally self-service from your desktop." The records available on the database system represent a small fraction of the archive's electronic holdings. They were selected because of their analytical and statistical nature - most deal with information that easily can be looked up based on specific names, dates, organizations, cities or states. For instance, someone wanting to research a great-grandfather who immigrated to the United States in the 19th century can choose the series of records listed under "immigrants," enter the relative's name and learn on what ship he traveled, the occupation he claimed prior to leaving, the date he arrived in New York, and the country from which he left, among other details. "It can be another stop in creating your family tree and understanding what happened and when," said Michael Kurtz, assistant archivist for records services. Carlson said he expects the service will be popular with veterans in particular because of all the information related to military action, casualties and POWs. The records in the new system "aren't a revelation in information, but is it helpful? Absolutely," said American Legion spokesman John Peterson after checking out the Web site. "A lot of people active with the POW/MIA issue complain the government doesn't release enough documents about people who are still missing, so almost anything they give out is good in our eyes," he said. Kristine Minami, a spokeswoman for the Japanese American Citizens League, said getting easy access to government records will provide "a lot of validation" to Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The database draws from the records of 20 federal agencies. Most of the information was created by the agencies to suit their own program needs, without any thought to its historical significance. Because of that, some records have typographical errors like misspelled names or an inaccurate dates. National Archives officials did not correct any of the information to preserve the records' integrity. Shirley Langdon Wilcox, former president of the National Genealogical Society, called the new system an "extremely useful and exciting" tool. "This certainly gives you enough of an idea of what might be available to you so you know what to weed out before taking a trip somewhere," she said. "Anytime you have a tool that can make yourself better prepared before you go to the Archives or library, it's worthwhile. You don't end up wasting an hour or two looking at whether they have something, because you've done your homework.

    1. [NYNAS ] Cow Harbor
    2. Johnna St. Clair
    3. Dear List: Here is a link to the info page for Northport which talks about it's history as Cow Harbor and a snip from the webpage for those of you who do not wish to visit the link. http://www.northportny.com/about.htm Our History The first inhabitants of Northport were peaceful Indians known as the Matinecocks, whose camp perched on a lakeshore site now occupied by the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). In 1650 the first white men came to the territory from New Amsterdam and reported their discovery to the Dutch government at The Hague. The report described "good fishing, fine meadowlands and mostly level ground suitable for farms and cattle". Six years later, this area, which would be called Great Cow Harbor, was purchased from Chief Asharoken by three Englishmen for seven quarts of liquor, two coats, four shirts and eleven ounces of powder. Relations between the settlers and the Indians were friendly, and the small colony flourished with farming and shell-fishing. In the 1770's Great Cow Harbor's main settlement was called Red Hook, which consisted of a few farmhouses and an inn at which is now the junction of Route 25-A, Vernon Valley and Waterside Avenue. When the Revolutionary War broke out, the Fifth Company of the Army was raised in Great Cow Harbor under Captain Platt Vail. It fought with four companies from Huntington in the Battle of Long Island in Brooklyn, where George Washington's forces were defeated by the Red Coats. For the next eight years Long Island remained under British military control. The end of the American Revolution left the task of rebuilding Great Cow Harbor to just thirty-one families. Farms were replanted, sheep and cattle were replenished, and the residents looked at the sea and saw the future. The second lighthouse built in the United States was erected at Eaton's Neck in 1798. Four years later, twenty-eight residents petitioned the Town of Huntington for a public dock at Bryant's Landing - now the Northport Village Dock......

My father Maynard C. Watts Died recently (January 9th, 2003). His parents were Maynard (?) Watts and Mae Herald. His grandparents were Samuel Arthur Watts and Jenny Maria Cornell. I was raised in the family home at 388 Scranton Ave. in Lynbrook till my father sold it upon his retirement from the Lynbrook School District. The house was built (I believe) in 1908. I am in posession of an early picture of the house. My great-grand father Samuel Arthur Watts owned a great deal of land in the Lynbrook area. In fact two streets I know of were name for him, (Samuel and Arthur Place). I would also be interested in any information on the Cornells of Lynbrook. I believe them to be my great-grand mother Jenny Maria Cornell's family." First, if you want a current picture of the family home, be aware that Nassau County has recently re-assessed all the property in the county and has made this information available at a special web site: http://www.mynassauproperty.com If you know the address, you can find information about a particular property -- including a current picture -- at this web site. If you also would like an aerial view, then you can go to: http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/address.aspx Second, for other information you may want to seek assistance from the Lynbrook Public Library: Lynbrook Public Library 56 Eldert Street Lynbrook, NY 11563 tel: 516/599-8630 fax: 516/596-1312 eMail: [email protected] http://www.nassaulibrary.org/lynbrook/ The pertinent geography: 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).

    1. [NYNAS ] cow bay
    2. On 3/31/03 (6:09:35 AM MST), the Suffolk County List Administrator relayed a posting from Nate Carter ([email protected]), asking, "Can some one tell me where is Cow Bay on Long Island Sound. I have a reference to a lawyer Arthur Bassett being named "Governor of Cow Bay, LI" in 1877. It apparently was an honorary title. It was in the Brooklyn Eagle 11 Nov. 1877. It may be in Nassau County but I know there are many very knowledgeable people on the list that may have the answer." You're correct: it would seem to be in Nassau County. Cow's Bay, as the name suggests, should be on the north shore of Cow's Neck, and today's Cow's Neck is called Port Washington. Port Washington is one of those communities on Long Island where the majority of the places with a Port Washington mailing address are not in Port Washington. The pertinent geography: Port Washington is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the northeastern part of the Town of North Hempstead. There are 30 villages (incorporated municipalities and 18 hamlets all or partly in the Town of North 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 the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Port Washington in the Town of North Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Villages of Baxter Estates, Port Washington North and Sands Point; on the east by the Port Washington Harbor on the south by the Village of Flower Hill; and, on the west by the Village of Plandome Manor and Hempstead Harbor. And, like almost every community in either Nassau or Suffolk Counties, the hamlet and the postal zone that use the same name, have much different borders: .....................................................acres .........Hamlet of Port Washington.....2,570 .........Port Washington, NY 11050....6,652 Thus, about 3 out of every 5 places with a "Port Washington, NY" mailing address are NOT in the Hamlet of Port Washington. Quickly eyeballing the map overlay of the "11050" postal ZIP code versus village and hamlet borders, the following 7 communities (5 villages and 2 hamlets) seem to be at least partially within the borders of the "Port Washington, NY" postal zone and hence places in these communities can have a "Port Washington, NY" mailing address (if the community is a village, its year of incorporation is shown inside the parenthesis): .........................................................acres Village of Sands Point (1932)..............2,743 Hamlet of Northern Port Washington........162 Village of Port Washington North (1932)...315 Village of Manorhaven (1930)...................326 Village of Baxter Estates (1931)..............109 Hamlet of Port Washington..................2,570 Village of Flower Hill (1931).....................427* * The Village of Flower Hill has a total area of 1,095 acres, and this is the area serviced by the "Port Washington, NY 11050" postal zone. The Village of Flower Hill's other 668 acres are in the service areas of either the "Manhasset, NY 11030" or the "Roslyn, NY 11576" postal zones. 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 Hamlet of Port Washington in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 6 (map) and 7 (population estimate).
