I will put your Family Info on my MILLS family file. I am sure we are connected. Like you say, it just has to find the link. Have you tried looking at USGEN WEB for NY, and then click on Orange Co. Maybe they have first families listed, or at best, who settled the county. Or might have a list of those came after. Also have you tried doing a browser search for some of the names you have listed in your message board postings? Some times things pop up that way. I do believe, the CARMAN genealogy was posted on the net, but not sure how it connected if at all, to JONES, SMITH or MILLS in New York. I wish you success in your future research. Will keep your info on my MILLS file as it may connect with another input down the line.

When you only have the month and year the person doing the search would have to view daily papers which means looking at 365 copies of newspapers. If you can get at least the death certificate that would give you the information. Or if there is a death index at a library that someone could look up. Do a google search for libraries in Queens. Some libraries have a web page and you can email the librarian for any assistance. Hope this is of some help and hope someone else will have better suggestions.

I also have my german grandparents buried in Lutheran. Their names are Herpfer and greatgrandmom Herpfer married a Proschel, an Englishman. So we have at least one englishman in the family. vallerie in so fl --- gigagirl@comcast.net wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to > this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WUB.2ACI/1430.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Try All Faiths Cemetery (aka Lutheran Cemetery) in > Queens - (718) 821-1750.

On 8/28/05 (2:02:46 PM MDT), as part of an eMail, Barbara (Caffecupz@aol.com) asked, "Is Glendale in Queens or Bklyn?" Glendale is a neighborhood in the west-central part of Queens, immediately to the south of Ridgewood and Middle Village and immediately to the north of Woodhaven and Richmond Hill: http://www.queenslibrary.org/gallery/past_exhibits/burgh/map.htm I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5766, Walter Greenspan * 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, Rosh ha Shannah begins at sunset on Monday, October 3 on the civil calendar.
