I am not sure he died in that area, but we do know a vets hospital in NY. We thought Buffalo as that is where he had lived but he might have moved on.......I can't find him in the SSDI, but finally realized that him being a "alcoholic" and probably didnt' hold down a job that we know of he probably didn't have a SS#. He was born 1914, divorced 1940's early,.......... I love the info you sent! My main branch is Mullins/Mullen and many were in the Brooklyn area around mid 1890's for "business venture"......All I've found is a Mullins owning a furniture store, but not one of my first names. Also found some Mullen's who were involved in a stabbing of their couzins at a christening, the names could fit.......but the father's name was Patrick and that wasn't one of my names........Brooklyn is like trying to search for a needle in a haystack when you have nothing but obits that state the children all lived in Brooklyn (1890's), and they were Irish, and catholic.

no, I have info on the Noon family nor do I suspect it is connected to my Mott, Soper,Smith, Hewlett, ellmore family. I am researching the Abrams family because my Great grandmother Georgianna Mott had a sister Harriet Ida Mott who married Milo Abrams. Milo died in 1906 and then Harriet married George Farrington. Milo Abrams was in the United States Life Saving Service and I am hoping to discover if his early death was work related. I believe Harriet and George are buried in Greenfield but am not positive about Milo and his 9 yr old son, Oscar. I think they are buried in rockville cemetery with his grandparents Catherine and Robert Ellmore. --- Number1nanna802@cs.com wrote: > Valerie > > Do you hsave any additional informatiuon regarding > the Noon family of LI? > > Kay Cooper > Discover Yahoo!

All the other Far Rockaway stations are in the Borough of Queens, NYC and hence, as computers became more prominent in recent years, to many computers, such as those that sent out Supreme Court jury notices, anyone with a "116" type ZIP Code was likely game for jury duty in Queens County. The residents of Inwood were constantly having to prove that although they had a Far Rockaway post office mailing address, they were not residents of Queens County, they live in Nassau County. Finally, in the late 1990s, the USPS was persuaded to change the ZIP Code to prevent such problems. They replaced "11696" with "11096".

Quickly eyeballing the map overlay of the "11590" postal zip code versus village and hamlet borders, all or parts of the following 7 communities seem to be within the borders of the Westbury postal zone and hence all or some of the places in these communities have a "Westbury, NY" mailing address: ......Hamlet of Jericho, Town of Oyster Bay ......Hamlet of Hicksville, Town of Oyster Bay ......Hamlet of Carle Place, Town of North Hempstead ......Village of Westbury, Town of North Hempstead ......Hamlet of New Cassel, Town of North Hempstead ......Hamlet of Salisbury, Town of Hempstead ......Hamlet of East Garden City, Town of Hempstead ......Hamlet of East Meadow, Town of Hempstead For those who have their copy of the 2004 or earlier edition of the Long Island 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 Westbury (incorporated in 1932) in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 6 (map) and 7 (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.
