On 4/22/03 (12:26:02 AM MDT), Judy ([email protected]) asked, "I have conflicting information. One of my relatives is supposed to be buried at St. Mary's, but the location is not clear. Sometimes it is in Roslyn, or Westbury or the Town of North Hempstead? WHERE is it and what is the address to write for information? Is it part of the Diocese of Rockville Centre? THANK YOU in advance for any direction you can give!!" This may be of some help: Contact information for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre (the only RC Diocese in the U.S.A. not named after a city): Ms. Jean Wassong Diocesan Archivist R.C. DIOCESE OF ROCKVILLE CENTRE 50 North Park Avenue Rockville Centre, NY 11570 e-Mail: [email protected] tel: 516/678-5800, X594 fax: 516/764-3316 Ms. Wassong is responsible for records on and after 1957, when the Diocese of Rockville Centre separated from the Diocese of Brooklyn. Likewise, the Diocese of Brooklyn is responsible for records on and after 1853, when the Diocese of Brooklyn separated from the Diocese of New York. The Diocese of Rockville Centre currently covers all of Nassau County and almost all of Suffolk County, except for Fishers Island. (Fishers Island, in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, is in the Diocese of Hartford, Connecticut.) Some additional geographic information: 1. Both the Village of Roslyn (incorporated in 1932) and the Village of Westbury (incorporated in 1932) are in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County. 2. Both the Roslyn, NY postal zone and the Westbury, NY postal zones are much larger than the communities whose name they "borrow": about 9 out of every 10 places with a "Roslyn, NY" mailing address are NOT in the Village of Roslyn and about 2 out of every 3 places with a "Westbury, NY 11590" mailing address are NOT in the Village of Westbury. 3. Both the Roslyn, NY postal zone and the Westbury, NY postal zone extend beyond the Town of North Hempstead: one out of 15 places with a Roslyn, NY mailing address are NOT in the Town of North Hempstead, they are in the Town of Oyster Bay and 3 out of every 8 places with a Westbury, NY mailing address re NOT in the Town of North Hempstead, they are in either the Town of Oyster Bay or the Town of Hempstead. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Wishing all a ziessen Pesach (sweet Passover), Walter Greenspan
