If you would like the program list for Westchester County Genealogical Society for 2005-2006, please send an email directly to me and I would be happy to send it to you . It is a Microsoft Word document 2003. The WCGS program committee have come up with an interesting mixture of talks. There are going to be talks concerning Westchester - Yonker and the Old Croton Aqueduct. There are going to be talks about the areas close to Westchester - Roosevelt Island (also known as Welfare Island and Blackwell Island) and Putnam County. There are going to talks about military records, wrong records, church records, Ellis Island and memoir writing. There will be a meeting at the Dobbs Ferry Public Library and one at the Kent Public Library. So we are hoping to see many of you at the meetings but if not, I am sure that there will be a great write up in the WCGS newsletter. Again, if you like a copy of the program list, please send an email directly to me.

(My daughter asked me to write down some family history when my granddaughter was born). I have his marriage cert and his death cert but all they say is that he was born in NY. His name is Ernest King b 5/5/1872 NY. His eldest son was named Emile so I am guessing that it could be his fathers name. I'm not sure the last name is King, I suppose it could be Koenig. Country of origan is said to be Germany. I have information from the time he married on. He somehow got to Bridgeport CT and married a French Canadian girl on July 31, 1894. They are there for the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census. In 1930 he has left the family but his wife is listed as the head of the family. I have not found him in 1930.

My family records indicate James Smith husband of Sarah Hewlett are my ancestors, so I sent away for the DAR records to confirm or explain where or why I can not find much.The reocrds came back with more info than I can process but raises more ? than answers. James Smith b. 1746, died St. Johns River in 1779. His wife is Sarah Hewlett. They had a dau Phebe Smith, born 1776 who married Oliver Denton and had a child Oliver S. Denton. Oliver S. Denton marriedd Eliza Mott and had John Holmes Baker Denton. John Homes Baker Denton married Mary Elizabeth Carman and had Lila Carman Denton. Lila married Valentine William Smith and had Julian Denton Smith. Julian Denton Smith married Evelyn Jean Smith. My question is did John Smith and sarah Hewlett have a daughter named Sarah Smith who married a Soper? y records indicate they did. But somoe of my dates do not add up but what I took for a birith dte may be a death date as reocrded by Georgianna Mott Elmore in 1926 James Smith place of residence druing the Rev war was Huntington LI NY Do any of the Denton and Carmen or other Smith families belong to the DAR, if so I would loveto hear from you all. valerie in fl. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

On 8/29/05 (1:02:51 PM MDT), in a posting to the New York County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYNEWYOR-L@rootsweb.com, Stephen Cooper (cooper@bos1.fsnet.co.uk) asked, "My relative William Higgs Martin went to the US to stay with his Daughter and son in law Frederick+ Minnie Hitchman at Kiluna Farm Manhasset Li . Has anyone got any idea's on where this is , and also looking for info on the people." For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Manhasset Public Library (the library can suggest some possible sources of information): Manhasset Public Library 30 Onderdonk Avenue Manhasset, NY 11030 Tel: 516/627-2300 Fax: 516/ 627-4339 eMail: manhassetpublib@yahoo.com http://www.nassaulibrary.org/manhass/index.html Manhasset is one of those villages and hamlets on Long Island where the majority of places with the community name in their mailing address are not in the hamlet. The pertinent geography: Manhasset is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the central part of the Town of North Hempstead in the northwest part of Nassau County. There are 30 villages (municipal corporations) 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 Manhasset in the Town of North Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Villages of Plandome Heights, Flower Hill and Munsey Park; on the east by the Village of Roslyn Estates; on the south by the Village of North Hills; and, on the west by the Villages of Lake Success, Thomaston, Kensington and Great Neck. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Hamlet of Manhasset has a different border than does the "Manhasset, NY 11030" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Manhasset mailing address and not be in Manhasset). .....................................................acres .........Hamlet of Manhasset.............1,592 .........Manhasset, NY 11030............4,424 Thus, about 2 out of every 3 places with a "Manhasset, NY" mailing address are NOT in the Hamlet of Manhasset. Quickly eyeballing the map overlay of the "11030" postal ZIP code versus village and hamlet borders, the following 7 communities (7 villages and 0 hamlets) seem to be at least partially within the borders of the "Manhasset, NY" postal zone and hence places in these communities can have a "Manhasset, NY" mailing address (if the community is a village, its year of incorporation is shown inside the parenthesis): Village of Plandome Manor (1931) Village of Plandome (1911) Village of Plandome Heights (1929) Village of Munsey Park (1930) Village of Flower Hill (1931) Village of North Hills (1929) Village of Thomaston (1931) For those who have their copy of the 2004 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 Manhasset in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 6 (map) and 7 (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.

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.
