On 5/16/05 (2:59:27 PM MDT), as part of an extensive posting to NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com, Russell (russell@csranet.com) asked, "When was the 59th St. bridge opened, Walter?" <> Construction commenced - July 19, 1901 <> Open to traffic - March 30, 1909 <> Total length of bridge and approaches - 7449 feet The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, was immortalized by the Simon and Garfunkel hit "Feeling Groovy (the 59th Street Bridge Song)". It connects Queens to Midtown Manhattan. Toll = free. Originally christened Blackwell’s Island Bridge, and intended to link Manhattan’s Harlem Line with the Long Island Railroad, the colossal, two-decked Queensboro Bridge is one of the greatest cantilever bridges in the history of American bridge design. A collaboration between the famed bridge engineer Gustav Lindenthal (1850-1935) and architect Henry Hornbostel, the Queensboro’s massive, silver-painted trusses span the East River between 59th Street in Manhattan and Long Island City in Queens and offer spectacular views of midtown Manhattan, highlighted by the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the United Nations. The Queensboro’s completion preceded that of the Manhattan Bridge by nine months. (By the way, while Mineola was in Queens in 1892, it "left" Queens in 1899, when the eastern three-quarters of Queens seceded and became Nassau County. And, no it's not the County Seat of Nassau County: the County Seat is in the Village of Garden City in the Town of Hempstead, but in that part of the Village of Garden City that is in the service area of the Mineola, NY P.O.) I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan

For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Island Park Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Island Park Public Library 176 Long Beach Road Island Park, NY 11558 Tel: 516/432-0122 Fax: 516/???-???? eMail: ilandpk@lilrc.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/islandp/ Island Park is one of those communities on Long Island where the majority of places with an Island Park mailing address are not in Island Park. The pertinent geography: Island Park is a village (incorporated in 1926) in the southwest part of the Town of Hempstead, in the southwest 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 Island Park in the Town of Hempstead is bordered on the north by the offshore islands and the Hamlet of Barnum Island; on the east by the Hamlet of Barnum Island; on the south by the City of Long Beach (directly across Reynolds Channel); and, on the west by the Hamlet of Harbor Isle. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Island Park has a different border than does the "Island Park, NY 11558" postal zone (i.e., a place can have an Island Park mailing address and not be in Island Park). ......................................acres ....Village of Island Park.....270 ....Island Park, NY 11558...849 Thus, you can readily see that the majority of places -- more than 2 of every 3 places -- are not in the Village of Island Park (most of these places are either in the Hamlet of Barnum Island or the Hamlet of Harbor Isle). 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 Village of Island Park (incorporated in 1926) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 8 (map) and 9 (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.

Cathy, For New Jersey, check http://www.state.nj.us/health/vital/vital.shtml . We did have success with that site. You have to be very specific, including town and county. If a person died in New Jersey, that is where the Death Certificate will be. For NYC, check http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/vitalrecords/home.shtml . To get to the Municipal Archives, take the 'A' train to Chambers and walk west about 2-3 blocks. If you take the Path Train, get off at the World Trade Center Stop and then walk North until you get to Chambers street where you then walk west.After showing a picture ID to get past security, the room is on the right. No other proof is needed for there but do bring cash to pay for the certificates. For the other New York Sites, check there website's or check http://www.health.state.ny.us/vital_records/ , which is a New York State Website. I hope this helps.
