SAVERIO GUARDINO Died: 17 Mar 2003 11706 (Bay Shore, Suffolk, NY)" For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Public Library. Bay Shore-Brightwaters Public Library One South Country Road Brightwaters, NY 11718 Tel: 631/665-4350 eMail: [email protected] http://bayshore.suffolk.lib.ny.us/ The pertinent geography: Bay Shore is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the southwestern section of the Town of Islip, Suffolk County. There are 4 villages (incorporated municipalities) and 23 hamlets all or partly in the Town of Islip. There are no cities and 10 towns in Suffolk County. There are 2 Indian reservations in Suffolk 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 Bay Shore in the Town of Islip is bordered on the north by Hamlets of Baywood and North Bay Shore; on the east by the Hamlet of Islip; on the south by the Great South Bay; and, on the west by the Village of Brightwaters. And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 31 villages and 126 hamlets), the Hamlet of Bay Shore has a different border than does the "Bay Shore, NY 11706" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Bay Shore mailing address and not be in Bay Shore). Those places that have a "Bay Shore, NY" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Bay Shore are in the Hamlet of North Bay Shore, the Hamlet of West Bay Shore, the Hamlet of Baywood and in the Hamlet of Islip. For those who have their copy of the 2002 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 Bay Shore in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County on pages 14 & 20 (map) and 21 (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.

Know his children and am descended from his son Fletcher." There are several points that you should be aware of: 1. Currently, there are places in both the Town of Babylon, Suffolk County and in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County that have an "Amityville, NY" mailing address. 2. Circa 1826, what is now the Town of Babylon was the southern part of the Town of Huntington, Suffolk County. The Town of Babylon did not secede and become independent of the Town of Huntington until 1872. 3. Circa 1826, the Town of Oyster Bay was in Queens County. Nassau County did not secede and become independent of Queens County until 1899. 4. The Village of Amityville in the Town of Babylon did not incorporate until 1894.

I called the library the other day. They said either Newsday or South Bay, but they don't have SOuth Bay that far back on microfilm. I called South Bay who said they don't have old copies. South Bay said to call the funeral home. I still have the library #. I will call back today and ask them about looking up for me in Newsday. The person's obit I am looking for is Felicia Yaccarino Simonetti, my grandmother's oldest sister. She lived on South First Street with husband Joseph. They had 10 children. One of them, Louis, still lives in the house. We are going there with my parents in 2 weeks to see him, and his brother who is coming up from Florida. Felicia, b. 1888, d, 1962, was a piano teacher. Of her 10 children, she saw 3 die before her....one of a heart attack (Joseph) and 2 drowned in Great South Bay (Ralphie and Toby).
