Hello All, 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. I welcome any direction or advice. Rick Monroe Long Beach, CA

On 1/13/05 (8:21:32 AM MST), in a posting to the Queens County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYQUEENS-L@rootsweb.com, Janet Wood (gigagirl@comcast.net) asked, "Can anyone cite any good references to where I might search for records of land ownership in Queens Co., Hempstead Town for the period of 1800 - 1850? I know the general area within Hempstead, but would like to now get more specific as to where my ancestor owned land. Do maps from this time period exsist that show land owners names on it?" First, not knowing if you are aware that on January 1, 1899, the eastern three-quarters of Queens County, the Towns of North Hempstead, Hempstead and Oyster Bay, seceded from Queens County and formed Nassau County. Second, for questions such as yours, you may want to check with the Town Clerk of the Town of Hempstead, the Long Island Studies Institute and the Queens Borough Public Library, in that order: The Town Clerk of the Town of J\Hempstead is also the custodian of town records dating back to 1644 and maintains an inactive records center and historical archive. To date, sixty volumes and twenty maps, including materials from the Town's founding in 1644, have been professionally restored Office of the Town Clerk Town of Hempstead Hempstead Town Hall One Washington Street Hempstead, NY 11550 Tel: 516/489-5000, X3046 Fax: 516/???-???? eMail: ????? http://www.townofhempstead.org./content/tc/menu_tc.html Long Island Studies Institute West Campus Library Hofstra University 619 Fulton Avenue Hempstead, NY 11549-4575 Tel: 516/463-6411 Fax 516/463-6441 eMail: lisi@hofstra.edu http://www.hofstra.edu/Libraries/LISI/index_LISI.cfm Queens Borough Public Library 89-11 Merrick Boulevard New York (Jamaica P.O.), NY 11432 Tel: 718/990-0700 Fax: 718/???-????

I know it will be handy for someone else. It is the Bouroughs of Brooklyn and Queens Counties of Nassau and Suffolk Long Island, NY 1609-1924. It has some interesting biographies of people and some nice sketches, and photos. Has 257 pages and an index. Really nice shape for age and hardback. Email me if you are interested... just am taking an offer for it as I want it to go to a "good" home! Thanks agoodall@midsouth.rr.com

If you really want to see her at her best, check out the 3 Stooges Short "In the Sweet Pie and Pie", where a good-spirited, fiesty and very sexy Dorothy gets the gooiest and sloppiest cream pie in the face that you'll ever see!! The way she slowly milks the scene, mugging for the camera underneath a faceful of gooey mess and doing a hilarious "slow burn" as she wipes two tiny eyeholes through the whipped cream must be seen to be believed. Of all the actresses who ever got plastered in a Stooges short, nobody took a pie in the face like Dorothy Appleby! What a sport! Hope this helps...

I've been doing business with them for 20 years and you have never been able to research stuff yourself. you have to pay the fees too. And the last time I went a couple of years ago, the wouldn't even let me wait for it. THEY HAD to mail it me. Kristina

Three brothers, Anthony, John and Edward were residing with the Thomas Muller family. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you." You may want to contact the Henry Waldinger Memorial Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Henry Waldinger Memorial Library 60 Verona Place Valley Stream, NY 11582 Tel: 516/825-6422 Fax: 516/???-???? eMail: hwmlcontact@hotmail.com http://www.nassaulibrary.org/valleyst/ Please bear in mind that Valley Stream is one of those many communities on Long Island where many places with a "Valley Stream, NY" mailing address are NOT in Valley Stream. The pertinent geography: Valley Stream is a village (incorporated in 1925) in the western part of the Town of Hempstead, in the southwest part of Nassau County, along the Nassau County/New York City (County/Borough of Queens) line. There are 22 villages 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 Valley Stream in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North Valley Stream; on the east by the Villages of Malverne and Lynbrook and the Hamlet of Hewlett; on the south by the Hamlets of Hewlett, Woodmere and South Valley Stream; and, on the west by the Hamlet of South Valley Stream and New York City (County/Borough of Queens). And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Valley Stream has a different border than does the "Valley Stream, NY" postal zone. .....................................................acres ....Village of Valley Stream ..............2,258 ....Hamlet of North Valley Stream .....1,209 ....Hamlet of South Valley Stream .......566 ....Valley Stream, NY 11580 ............2,496 ....Valley Stream, NY 11581 ............1,813 ..................total .............................4,309 As indicated by the acreage numbers, the Village of Valley Stream is only about 52% of the "Valley Stream, NY" postal zone. Hence, there is about an equal chance that a place with a "Valley Stream, NY" mailing address is NOT in the Village of Valley Stream. For those who have their copy of the 2003 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 Valley Stream (incorporated in 1925) 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.
