On 2/17/05 (8:26:10 AM MST), in a posting to NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com, Marilyn Sponheimer (JJTS@consolidated.net) asked, "I have posted these questions some time ago but had not heard anything so I thought that I would try again. I have tried to find out how to go about ordering my parent's DC's but somehow I usually end up at a dead end on-line. Could anyone help me out? Both of my parents lived in the town of Williston Park, Long Island, Nassau county, N.Y My dad died in 1992 in a Nassau county hospital in Mineola, New York not to far away Winthrop Hospital (used to be called Nassau Hospital). My mother died this past year, May of 2004 in a Plainview, Northshore Hospital, In Suffolk County close to my brother. I do understand that you have to order them through the town but I haven't been able to find out any addresses and also the amounts needed to send. Can anyone help me? It would be very much appreciated. I do have their death dates so that is not a problem !!!!" The key point is in which community did the death occur, and not in which community the person was residing immediately prior to their death. For a death that took place in Mineola (Mineola is a village in the Town of North Hempstead), you would want to contact the Village Clerk of the Village of Mineola: Village Clerk Village of Mineola Mineola Village Hall 155 Washington Avenue Mineola, NY 11501 Tel: 516/746-0750 Fax: 516/???-???? eMail: ????? http://www.???????.??? For a death that took place in Plainview (Plainview is a hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay), you would want to contact the Town Clerk of the Town of Oyster Bay: Office of the Town Clerk Town of Oyster Bay Oyster Bay Town Hall 54 Audrey Avenue Oyster Bay, NY 11771 Tel: 516/624-6332 Fax: 516/???-???? eMail: ????? http://www.oysterbaytown.com/ I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
