I'll be doing some research ( Sept ) in the Microfilm records of local libraries for year to year records of 3 residences of Edgemere, Island Park and Far Rockaway,NY ie: City Directories and Phone books( circa 1910-1985 ) Does anyone recommend which library has the best resources for such a research trip." Edgemere and Far Rockaway are adjoining neighborhoods on the eastern end of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens County, while Island Park is a village (municipal corporation) in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County. For Queens County, you may want to contact the Queens Borough Public Library: Long Island Division Queens Borough Public Library 89-11 Merrick Boulevard New York (Jamaica P.O.), NY 11432 Tel: 718/990-0700 Fax: 718/???-????
