What a small world! But it gives my husband more ammunition about the "inbreeding" of the Abrams'. I do have to remind him his italian relatives did the same! Have you gone to the Lynbrook library or Queens Borough Library for further info about the hotel?

I know with Valley Stream, you needed the exact date, or they couldn't help you. Not sure if the same with Lynbrook. Also Hempstead may (or should) have the record. You have to pay whether they find a record or not.

As far as I know, you cannot do any researching yourself. I had to pay $20 for each record whether they found anything or not (they did not find one out of my four)! I think that is very harsh. Even the guards could not believe it. They were going to mail the records, but I said I was leaving NY, so they had them ready that day to come back. So you will not get them right away either. A very expensive endeavor.

Hello Everyone: In which part of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, is 146 Dickman Street located? Also, where is Greefield Cemetery located in Hempstead, Nassau County, New York? My Uncle Wally's parents lived on this street in 1930 and I am trying to determine where they lived in proximinty to where they were buried. I want to thank you in advance for your help. In Christ, Ron Powell

I will keep an eye out for them while I'm viewing the film if they are on the reel that I have ordered (I beleive there are two reels that involve Queens co. for 1892) -Janet

Would someone know the address of the Greenfield Cemetery in Hempstead? I would like to contact them about a burial record from 1972 for the Anderson family. Would you know if there is a cost. Thank you, Marilyn

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lRB.2ACE/889.1 Message Board Post: On 6/11/05 (8:02:45 PM MDT), in a posting to the Suffolk County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYNASSAU-L@rootsweb.com, Sandy Conforti (sl77sam@adelphia.net) asked, "I am looking for someone that is going out to St Charles Cemetery and would take some pictures og my Great Grandma and her 2 daughters head stones? Please e,ai; ,e and I will give you there names and were they are buried.." St. Charles Cemetery is in Suffolk, not Nassau, County. (I'm cross-posting this reply the Suffolk County, as well as to the Long Island, list) It's confusing because the Farmingdale, NY postal zone serves an area in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and is much, much larger than the Village of Farmingdale in the Town of Oyster Bay, in Nassau County. St. Charles Cemetery is on Conklin Street in the Hamlet of East Farmingdale (Farmingdale P.O.) in the Town of Babylon, Suffolk County. East Farmingdale is one of those many communities on Long Island where none of the places in East Farmingdale have an "East Farmingdale, NY" mailing address. The pertinent geography: East Farmingdale is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the northwest part of the Town of Babylon, in the southwest part of Suffolk County (along the Babylon/Huntington/Oyster Bay town line and the Suffolk/Nassau County line). There are 3 villages (municipal corporations) and 12 hamlets all or partly in the Town of Babylon. There are no cities and 10 towns in Suffolk County. There are 2 Indian reservations in Suffolk 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 East Farmingdale in the Town of Babylon is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Melville in the Town of Huntington (the Babylon/Huntington Town line); on the east by the Hamlets of Wyandanch and West Babylon; on the south by the Hamlets of North Lindenhurst and North Amityville and, on the west by the Village of Farmingdale, Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County (the Babylon/Oyster Bay Town line and the Suffolk/Nassau County line). And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 31 villages and 126 hamlets), the hamlet and the postal zone that use the same name, have much different borders: In this case there is no "East Farmingdale, NY" postal zone and places in the Hamlet of East Farmingdale have other than an "East Farmingdale, NY" mailing address (these places have a "Farmingdale, NY 11735" mailing address). 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 East Farmingdale in the Town of Babylon, Suffolk County on pages 14 & 18 (map) and 19 (population estimate). I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Postal Zones in New York State New York State is divided into counties. 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.

We never knew each othe until 1989 when he was visiting his brother in CA (he was stationed in Texas) and I was living in CA. We happened to start talking at the OC fair, had a long distance romance, got married. Then after we were married I started doing more extensive research on our family trees. It was just a few years ago I found out our Abrams and VanWickler lines have been marrying since about the late 1800's. (and some of the stories made the pages of the local papers of the time. Brooklyn Eagle for one.) We've had a few laughs over them.
