    1. [NYNEWYOR] duh question
    2. Sorry, Bbokken@aol.com, but apparently you are having great difficulty in understanding the geographic confusions caused by non-conforming USPS "postal cities". Several years ago, I helped someone who was unsuccessful in searching for records for someone who had a "Yonkers, NY" mailing address until I pointed out that a place could have a "Yonkers, NY" mailing address and be in the New York City Borough of the Bronx and not in the City of Yonkers in Westchester County as indicated by the community listed in the mailing address. Knowing that the records were for someone actually in the New York City Borough of the Bronx, and not in the City of Yonkers, even though the location had a "Yonkers, NY" mailing address, enabled this person to find the records that were being sought. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5769, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, the two-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Rosh ha Shannah (Lev. 23:23-25) will begin at sunset on Monday, September 29 on the civil calendar.
