She would have been born abt 1800, and they lived in Oyster Bay. Any help would be greatly appreciated." For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Oyster Bay-East Norwich Public Library 89 East Main Street Oyster Bay 11771 Tel: 516/922-1212 Fax: 516/922-6453 eMail: ??????? http://www.nassaulibrary.org/oysterbay/index.html Oyster Bay is one of those communities on Long Island where the majority of the places with an Oyster Bay mailing address are not in Oyster Bay, and it is important to know that there are 3 "Oyster Bays" (from smallest to largest, in order of acreage): 1. There is the Hamlet of Oyster Bay = 763 acres 2. There is the Oyster Bay, NY 11771 postal zone = 7,002 acres 3. There is the Town of Oyster Bay = 70,908 acres The pertinent current geography: Oyster Bay is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the north most part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the northeast part of Nassau County. There are 18 villages (municipal corporations) and 18 hamlets all or partly in the Town of Oyster Bay. 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 the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Oyster Bay in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by Oyster Bay Harbor; on the east by the Village of Oyster Bay Cove; on the south by the Hamlet of East Norwich; and, on the west by the Village of Upper Brookville and the Village of Mill Neck. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Hamlet of Oyster Bay has a different border than does the "Oyster Bay, NY 11771" postal zone (i.e., a place can have an Oyster Bay mailing address and not be in Oyster Bay). ............................................acres ....Hamlet of Oyster Bay............763 ....Oyster Bay, NY 11771........7,002 ....Town of Oyster Bay..........70,908 Thus, you can readily see that 9 of every 10 places with an "Oyster Bay" mailing address are NOT in the Hamlet of Oyster Bay. [These places may be in the Village of Centre Island (incorporated in 1926), the Village of Cove Neck (incorporated in 1927), the Village of Oyster Bay Cove (incorporated in 1931), the Village of Laurel Hollow (incorporated in 1926), the Hamlet of East Norwich, the Village of Muttontown (incorporated in 1931), the Village of Upper Brookville (incorporated in 1932) and the Village of Mill Neck (incorporated in 1924).] For those who have their copy of the 2004 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 Hamlet of Oyster Bay in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County on pages 5 & 11 (map) and 12 (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.

HEY VOLUNTEERS! I just got a gorgeous photo of a distant ancestor from a 1917 high school yearbook from New Britain CT. Why don't you let all your lists know what yearbooks you, or your local library have access to? I, for one, in Ford County, IL own most of Gibson City Drummer and Gibson City High School yearbooks from 1917 - 1982; and others I can look up at our local library...I think they have them all. gail hahn hutchcraft Ford County, Il volunteer ladybuggc@sbcglobal.net

I have posted scans of Calvary's standard map at: <http://www.pefagan.com/gen/astmaps/qmaps.html> Your Section 15, Range 35, Plot S, Grave #6 would be in "Second Calvary", which is part of what people call "New Calvary." I've broken my scans into four printable sections, and yours would be on the left panel of Calvary 2, 3 and 4. Calvary 1 = Old Calvary. The ranges in section 15 go from right to left on this map (from 1 to 44). So you can estimate where range 35 is. One thing that confuses me is that it looks to me like section 15 has numbered (not lettered) plots. Are you certain that Plot S is not Plot 5?

If you are planning a trip to Salt Lake ---- Original Message ----- From: <help@productsupport.familysearch.org> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 5:08 PM Subject: Scanner/burner questions Hello Jackie, I will try to respond to all your questions. First, the Family History Library has four scanner/burners used to copy film to CD. There are two on the 2nd floor, one on B1 floor, and one on B2 floor. Each patron may sign up for one hour per day. If another patron does not sign up after your time slot you may stay on til someone else does sign up. If there is a free machine with no patron at it you may check at the Library Attendant Window and see how long it is free and you may sit down and use it. The film floors have CDs available for purchase ($1.50). I would check the Family History Library Catalog on our web site (www.familysearch.org) for film numbers that I am interested in. If the film has FHL in front of the number it is here at the library. If the word VAULT is in front of the number we can order films into the library for you. Please email us the numbers. We do not have the man power to copy films to Cds for you, but if you have a friend or family member in the area they could come and take care of doing the work for you.

The following may help someone: Calvary Cemetery 49-02 Laurel Hill Boulevard Woodside, New York 11377 (718) 786--8000 Owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, Calvary Cemetery is located in western Queens County near the Long Island Expressway intersection with the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. The cemetery is divided into four divisions: First Calvary: St. Calixtus Division (south side of Greenpoint Ave.) Second Calvary: St. Agnes Division (south side of Laurel Hill Blvd.) Third Calvary: St. Sebastian Division (north side of Laurel Hill Blvd.) Fourth Calvary: St. Domitilla Division (south side of Second Calvary.) First Calvary is often called "Old Calvary" by long-time residents of the area, with Second, Third and Fourth all considered part of "New Calvary." Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

Does anyone know of a list for those of us searching for interments in Calvary Cemetery? It seems to me a list dedicated to that purpose might be quite helpful. I can start one on yahoogroups if none exists and if people would be interested. Anyone? Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

In reading your post, I have come to the conclusion Calvary has either computerized their records or done something equally efficient to be able to give you as much information as they did via telephone. Their new fees are now the highest in the Brooklyn and New York diocese. I just paid $60.00 for a list of interments for 4 graves in Most Holy Trinity and in this case was well worth every penny.

On the Brooklyn list we have been discussing cemeteries, finding graves and how some cemeteries are recycling older graves.
