I have always thought of Minnie as being the diminutive for Minerva. Has anyone ever heard of a Mabel being called Minnie? Thanks Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net http://www.cafepress.com/formernuns

Another name for which it is a diminutive is Wilhelmina. Minnie was used a lot as a nickname, not necessarily connected with the person's given name.

GOOD NEWS!!! -- We can now search on ancestry.com without having to put in three characters for the name. Up until now, if you entered a partial first name or a partial last name, you had to enter at least three characters. But Steve Morse has written some new code that gets around this limitation by searching on all combinations of the letters that we left out. For example, suppose you want to search for all people with first initial J and last name Smith. Steve's software will automatically search for all Smiths with first names starting with Jaa, then Jab, then Jac, etc. up to Jzz. It might take as much as 5 minutes to get all the results, but it's automatic -- you submit one search and Steve does 676 searches for you. And if you search for all Smiths with first name starting with Ja, Steve can do that faster (less than ten seconds) because he only has to do 26 searches in that case. To use this feature, go to Steve's website at http://stevemorse.org and select any of his search forms that use ancestry (e.g., any of his passenger search forms other than Ellis Island, and his census search-by-name form for any census year). Then enter less than three characters for either the first or last name, and Steve's new software will kick in, doing repeated searches on your behalf. If you have any problems with it or questions about it or even comments about it, please write to Steve directly rather than asking me. Steve's address is at the top of his website. - Diane Jacobs Somerset, NJ

In the business section, there is no Frey entry under cigar manufacturers, cigars & tobacco-retail, cigars & tobacco-wholesale. There are a few cigar manufacturers using company names, primarily in Long Island City, but the smaller cigarmakers tended just to use their own name.

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/1380.1 Message Board Post: On 6/10/05 9:16:05 AM MDT), in a posting to the Queens County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYQUEENS-L@rootsweb.com, Beth Bond (deliaesther@att.net) asked, "I am looking for any information I can find on my Walter J. Bond. I do have his information from census records in Queens from 1850-1880. Walter was born in England about 1833. He may or may not be a Walter Bond who came to N.Y. as a child in 1837. In the 1850 census of Hempstead, Queens he was living with Zachary Story and his family. In 1860 he was listed as head of his own household and he was a farmer. He had married by then to Louisa Jackson who was apparently born in New York. I fdo not have the date or place of their marriage. I do not yet have either Walter or Louisa'a parents. In the 1880 census Walter's occupation is said to be House carpenter. he and Louisa had the following children: William, Robert A.(my 2nd great-grandfather), Millard Fillmore, Annie E., Frankin Joseph, John B., Seaman Lewis and Clara E. Bond. We all know how difficult it is not to have the 1890 census! Walter has died by 1900, as Louisa is listed as a widow in the 1900 Census of New York, living in Nassau County with one of her sons. I have more on their children. I would like more information on Walter." First, all of Nassau County was part of Queens County until January 1, 1899, when the eastern three-quarters of Queens County (the Towns of North Hempstead, Hempstead, excluding the Rockaway peninsula, and Oyster Bay) seceded and formed Nassau County. Second, for questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Hempstead Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Hempstead Public Library 115 Nichols Court Hempstead, NY 11550 Tel: 516/481-6990 Fax: 516/481-6719 eMail: hempstead@nassaulibrary.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/hempstd/ It is important to know that there are 3 "Hempsteads" (from smallest to largest, in order of acreage): 1. There is the Village of Hempstead = 2,327 acres 2. There is the Hempstead, NY 11550 postal zone = 2,652 acres 3. There is the Town of Hempstead = 22,621 acres The pertinent geography: Hempstead is a village (incorporated in 1853) in the north-center section of the Town of Hempstead, in the central part of Nassau County. There are 22 villages (municipal corporations) and 36 hamlets (unincorporated areas) all or partly within the Town of Hempstead. 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 its northern border and proceeding clockwise, the Village of Hempstead in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Village of Garden City and the Hamlet of East Garden City; on the east by the Hamlets of East Garden City and Uniondale; on the south by the Hamlets of Baldwin and South Hempstead; and, on the west by the Hamlet of West Hempstead. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Hempstead has a different border than does the "Hempstead, NY 11550" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Hempstead mailing address and not be in the Village of Hempstead). .........................................acres ....Village of Hempstead.......2,327 ....Hempstead, NY 11550.....2,652 The Town of Hempstead is 22,621 acres. As you can see from the above, about 12.5% of the places that have a "Hempstead" mailing address are not in the Village of Hempstead. (Portions of the Hamlets of East Garden City and South Hempstead have Hempstead, NY mailing addresses.) For those who have their copy of the 2004 or earlier editions 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 Village of Hempstead (incorporated in 1853) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 8 (map) and 9 (population estimate). One final statistic: the Town of Hempstead is the most populous town (or township) in the U.S. The January 1, 2004 population is 760,675 (LIPA 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.
