I have found specific reference in one of my ancestors deeds to an earlier deed (for the same 60 acre plot). It is stated that the earlier deed was between Henry/Mary Valentine and Phillip Allen on April 27th 1769. I have looked at the deed indexes (double and triple checked) and cannot find this land transaction. Does anyone have any experience and/or input as to why I'm having trouble finding this deed in the traditional search manner? Any other suggestions as to how I might find this Valentine/Allen deed? Thanks, Janet

He would have been about 16 at the time of the census. He was living in Queens, possibly Astoria at that time. I believe that his father was Ralph also. Sadly, that is all the info I have to go on. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dawn

The Suffolk County Clerk, Ed Romaine, has given us the green light to create a computerized list of all the servicemen that have given the County Clerk's Office a copy of their DD 214 or Discharge papers for safekeeping. We need people to do two things: 1. Go out to the Clerk's Office in Riverhead to make copies of the register so that we can give them to volunteers to type. This work has to be done at the Clerk's office. 2, We need volunteers to do the typing after the registers are copied. This work can be done at home. All you need is an spreadsheet such as Excel or Works. Even a word processing program such as Word will do. The more people we get, the easier it will be to get this done. Anyone interested in helping the veterans, please contact John Martino at JohnM16881@aol.com.

On 4/30/05 8:51:39 PM (MDT), in a posting to the Kings County Ancestry Board that was 'gatewayed' to NYKINGS-L@rootsweb.com, R. Rossicone (sanfeleboy@aol.com) asked, "My great grandmother Carmela Pietropinto (a Catholic) was put into a Protestant home for girls in the late 1800's (well into the 1890's). Her dad wanted her to work, she wanted to go to school, so rather than fight, he sent her there. Does anyone know the names of any places like this or how to go about looking up their records?" First, the "Rockaways" is in Queens County, not Kings County. Circa the late 1800s, the "Rockaways" was in the Town of Hempstead, then in Queens County (later, in 1898, following the absorption of the western-quarter of Queens County into the new New York City, the "Rockaways' were separated from the Town of Hempstead and remained part of Queens when, a year later, in 1899, the eastern three-quarters of Queens, the part not in NYC, seceded and became Nassau County). Second, and more importantly, you might want to check out the Hebrew National Orphan Home, it's an excellent site for orphanages, Jewish and otherwise in the U.S.: eMail: HNOHalumni@aol.com http://www.hnoh.com/ Good luck.
