Is there a website? Address? I'm looking for the death certificate of my Uncle Albert Forstrom who died in Lynbrook Ny, March 1972." Death certificates are handled by the city, town and some villages in which the death occurred, and this is not necessarily the municipality in which the person was residing immediately prior to death, especially if the death occurred in a hospital. If the death actually occurred in the Village of Lynbrook, then you'd want to check first with the Village Clerk of the Village of Lynbrook: Village Clerk Village of Lynbrook Lynbrook Village Hall 1 Columbus Drive Lynbrook, NY 11563 Tel: 516/599-8300 Fax: 516/887-8148 eMail: dsmollett@lynbrookvillage.com http://www.lynbrookvillage.com/index.shtml The pertinent geography: Alternatively know as Five Corners and Bloomfield, the area became known as Pearsalls Corners (to honor general store owner Wright Pearsalls), Lynbrook -- or Brooklyn spelled inside-out -- is a village (incorporated in 1911) in the central part of the Town of Hempstead, in the southwest part of Nassau County. There are 22 villages (municipal corporations) 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 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 Village of Lynbrook (incorporated in 1911) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 8 (map) and 9 (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.

On 6/10/05 9:16:05 AM MDT), in a posting to the Queens County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYQUEENS-L@rootsweb.com, Beth Bond (deliaesther@att.net) asked, "I am looking for any information I can find on my Walter J. Bond. I do have his information from census records in Queens from 1850-1880. Walter was born in England about 1833. He may or may not be a Walter Bond who came to N.Y. as a child in 1837. In the 1850 census of Hempstead, Queens he was living with Zachary Story and his family. In 1860 he was listed as head of his own household and he was a farmer. He had married by then to Louisa Jackson who was apparently born in New York. I fdo not have the date or place of their marriage. I do not yet have either Walter or Louisa'a parents. In the 1880 census Walter's occupation is said to be House carpenter. he and Louisa had the following children: William, Robert A.(my 2nd great-grandfather), Millard Fillmore, Annie E., Frankin Joseph, John B., Seaman Lewis and Clara E. Bond. We all know how difficult it is not to have the 1890 census! Walter has died by 1900, as Louisa is listed as a widow in the 1900 Census of New York, living in Nassau County with one of her sons. I have more on their children. I would like more information on Walter." First, all of Nassau County was part of Queens County until January 1, 1899, when the eastern three-quarters of Queens County (the Towns of North Hempstead, Hempstead, excluding the Rockaway peninsula, and Oyster Bay) seceded and formed Nassau County. Second, for questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Hempstead Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Hempstead Public Library 115 Nichols Court Hempstead, NY 11550 Tel: 516/481-6990 Fax: 516/481-6719 eMail: hempstead@nassaulibrary.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/hempstd/ It is important to know that there are 3 "Hempsteads" (from smallest to largest, in order of acreage): 1. There is the Village of Hempstead = 2,327 acres 2. There is the Hempstead, NY 11550 postal zone = 2,652 acres 3. There is the Town of Hempstead = 22,621 acres The pertinent geography: Hempstead is a village (incorporated in 1853) in the north-center section of the Town of Hempstead, in the central part of Nassau County. There are 22 villages (municipal corporations) 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.)

And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Hempstead has a different border than does the "Hempstead, NY 11550" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Hempstead mailing address and not be in the Village of Hempstead). ..........................................acres .....Village of Hempstead.......2,327 .....Hempstead, NY 11550.....2,652 The Town of Hempstead is 22,621 acres. As you can see from the above, about 12.5% of the places that have a "Hempstead" mailing address are not in the Village of Hempstead. (Portions of the Hamlets of East Garden City and South Hempstead have Hempstead, NY mailing addresses.) For those who have their copy of the 2004 or earlier editions 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 Hempstead (incorporated in 1853) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 8 (map) and 9 (population estimate). One final statistic: the Town of Hempstead is the most populous town (or township) in the U.S. The January 1, 2004 population is 760,675 (LIPA estimate).

Does anyone have information about the Catholic churches in that area around that time period?" First, Port Jefferson then a hamlet and now a village, has always been in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk, not Nassau, County. Second, because this event occurred prior to Port Jefferson becoming a village and even prior to the NYS law of 1881 that required municipalities to main such records, the record MAY be at the Town Clerk for the Town of Brookhaven: Town Clerk Town of Brookhaven Brookhaven Town Hall One Independence Hill Farmingville, NY 11738 Tel: 631/451-9101 Fax: 631/451-9264 eMail: TOWNCLERK@BROOKHAVEN.ORG http://www.brookhaven.org/departments/town_clerk.asp?dept_id=15&page_id=15 Third, for questions such as yours about what Roman Catholic Church was in the area circa the 1857/58, you may want to contact the Port Jefferson Free Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Port Jefferson Free Library 100 Thompson Street Port Jefferson, NY 11777 Tel: 631/473-0022 Fax: 631/???-???? eMail: ?????? http://pjfl.suffolk.lib.ny.us/ The pertinent geography: The Village of Port Jefferson (incorporated in 1963) is in the northwest part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the north-central part of 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 Village of Port Jefferson in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by the Village of Poquott, Port Jefferson Harbor, the Village of Belle Terre and Long Island Sound; on the east by the Hamlet of Miller Place and the Hamlet of Mount Sinai; on the south by the Hamlet of Port Jefferson Station; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Setauket. And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 31 villages and 126 hamlets), the Village of Port Jefferson has a different border than does the "Port Jefferson, NY 11777" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Port Jefferson mailing address and not be in Port Jefferson and a place can have other than a Port Jefferson mailing address and be in Port Jefferson). Those places that have a "Port Jefferson, NY" mailing address that are not in the Village of Port Jefferson are in the Village of Belle Terre; and, at the same time, there are places in the Village of Port Jefferson with a "Mount Sinai, NY 11766" or a "Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776" mailing address.
