Any help, especially with obituaries would be most appreciated. Thank you." As you're looking for information in two separate communities, I am posting two separate replies. Reply number 1 of two replies is for West Hempstead: For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the West Hempstead Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): West Hempstead Public Library 252 Chestnut Street West Hempstead, NY 11552 Tel: 516/481-6591 Fax: 516/481-2608 eMail: westhempsteadpl@yahoo.com http://www.nassaulibrary.org/westhemp/whplfrme.htm The pertinent geography: West Hempstead is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the northwest section of the Town of Hempstead, in the southwest part of Nassau County. There are 22 villages (municipal corporations) and 36 hamlets 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 Hamlet of West Hempstead in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Garden City South and the Village of Garden City; on the east by the Village of Hempstead; on the south by the Hamlets of Lakeview and Malverne Park; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Franklin Square. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Hamlet of West Hempstead has a different border than does the "West Hempstead, NY 11552" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a West Hempstead mailing address and not be in West Hempstead). ……………………………………..............acres ……Hamlet of West Hempstead…………1,849 ……West Hempstead, NY 11552………..2,512 Thus, about 1 out of every 4 places with a "West Hempstead, NY" mailing address are NOT in the Hamlet of West Hempstead. (Places in the Hamlets of Franklin Square and Garden City South may have West Hempstead, NY mailing addresses.) For those who have their copy of the 2003 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 Hamlet of West Hempstead 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.

In 1922 the Freeport Cemetery (sometimes referred to as the Freeport Presbyterian Cemetery) was condemmed and approximately one thousand graves were opened and the remains were reinterned at Greenfield Cemetery. In 1913 William A. Eardeley made a record of some burials by viewing gravestones around the Presbyterian Church. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/newyork/freeport_ny_cem .htm. However, he only recorded 20% of the total number of interments. I am in the process of doing research on the history of the Freeport Cemetery and the controvesy surrounding it's condemnation. I am hopeful that at some point I may have this paper published in a historical journal dealing with New York or Long Island. I would like to try to reconstruct a list of as many of the original burials as possible. Please email me at Dianejoseph@earthlink.net if you have the names of Freeport interments and removals other than those recorded by Eardeley http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin/newyork/freeport_ny_cem .htm.

Presumably she stayed in Brooklyn after she married John, and then they moved to East Meadow late in their lives (probably in the 1950s). In the 1950s, it is also possible that Anna's brother, Andrei (Andrew) Hawrysko stayed with them in East Meadow.

However, I can't find an address for the Massachusetts Vital Records...it seems like they expect one to visit the Mass library and look it up ourself...can you check this out for me...I have all the vital dates and places in Mass but I need the copies of the records like the one I sent you of Harry and Lillian's marriage.

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 1/13/05 (5:10:19 PM MST), in a posting to NYNASSAU-L@rootsweb.com, Rick Monroe (Rickmonroe67@wmconnect.com) of Long Beach (that's the California, not the LI, Long Beach) asked, "Does anyone know if there are yearbooks available for Manhasset High School from 1925-1935? I have written the school but have not received a response yet. Is there a 1925 Census for Nassau County? If so, is it accessible? My Father may have attended Manhasset High School and may have been a member of the track team there. He may have even been born in Nassau County, records simply state Long Island, NY or just NY. He was David Milton MONROE, b. 10-13-1913. David's Father may have been Malcolm MONROE." For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Massapequa Public (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Massapequa Public Library 523 Central Avenue Massapequa, NY 11758 Tel: 516/798-4607 Fax: 516/798-2804 eMail: mpl1@nassaulibrary.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/massapq/ Massapequa is one of those many communities on Long Island where the majority of the places with a Massapequa mailing address are not in Massapequa. The pertinent geography: Massapequa is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the south part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the southeast part of Nassau County, along the Oyster Bay/Hempstead town line. There are 18 villages (municipal corporations) and 18 hamlets all or partly within the Town of Oyster Bay. 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 Massapequa in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North Massapequa; on the east by the Village of Massapequa Park; on the south by the Great South Bay; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Seaford in the Town of Hempstead (the Oyster Bay/Hempstead town line). And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Hamlet of Massapequa has a different border than does the "Massapequa, NY 11758" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Massapequa mailing address and not be in Massapequa). ...................................................area .....Hamlet of Massapequa............2,345 .....Massapequa, NY 11758..........5,128 Thus, more than half the places with a "Massapequa, NY" mailing address are NOT in the Hamlet of Massapequa (these places are either in the Hamlet of North Massapequa or in the Hamlet of East Massapequa). Also, complicating the matter even more, the "Massapequa, NY 11758" postal zone is a bifurcated postal zone, with noncontiguous areas on the eastside and westside of the "Massapequa Park, NY 11752" postal zone. For those who have their copy of the 2003 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 Massapequa in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County on pages 5 & 11 (map) and 12 (population estimate).
