And, like almost every community in either Nassau or Suffolk Counties, the Hamlet o Cutchogue and the postal zone that use the same name, have much different borders: There are places with a "Cutchogue, NY" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Cutchogue. There are places in the Hamlets of Mattituck and the Hamlet of Peconic that have a "Cutchogue, NY" mailing address. 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 Cutchogue in the Town of Southold, Suffolk County on pages 15 & 30 (map) and 31 (population estimate).

Hello! I am researching the Vignato family of NYC and Suffolk County. However, different records (census, naturalization, bapitsmal, birth & death) show a variety of spellings including: Vignato, Vinto and others. Some people have suggested that the church records might be most accurate because there might tend to be others in the church who spoke both Italian and English who would be able to correctly record the name. Is this an accurate assumption? Can you suggest other ways to go about trying to verify the name? My hope is that I'll be able to trace the family back to Italy... but the name issue is a certain roadblock! Thanks for any ideas you might be able to offer. Debbie

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Eileen Jayne Di Ruocco, born and bred on Long Island but no longer living there. I am still interested in Long Island happenings and my ancestors who reside in various cemeteries on the island. I know that William Jayne is buried in the graveyard of the Presbyterian Church in Setauket but would like to know where his son, Stephen and wife Mary Hawkins are buried. Also Stephen's son, James and wife Catherine Van Cott. And James' son David who married Nancy Pease. I have been searching for them for years without too much success. Perhaps I have been looking in the wrong places. If anyone can send me in the right direction I would appreciate it very much.

I have a subscription to Ancestry.com and their indexes are not the best. If you do a soundex-type search you may find more references to your ancestor, but ther is no guarantee. I do find them useful, but the indexes can be error prone. Genealogy.com has some census information although their subscriptions are more expensive than Ancestry and their search engine is extremely cumbersome. Their library feature is useful. Guess this hasn't been too helpful, long-distance family history research is time-consuming & difficult but travel to the actual records is not feasible sometime. Sharon A. Pullen, C.A.

Rooters & Rootsers, Today's (Sunday's) NEWSDAY has an article, "Mourning a Manor: House's disrepair could mean end for Shelter Island landmark" about the possible demolition of the 16-acre estate known to locals as Ward's Point, and its 24-room manor house. According to NEWSDAY, "When former (New York) governor Hugh Carey bought 70 lots of subdivided land on Shelter Island in 1996, some locals breathed a sigh of relief. Carey and his family - themselves longtime summer residents - announced they planned to restore the property's centerpiece, a 16-acre estate known to locals as Ward's Point. The estate had long fallen into disrepair. Vandals, time and the elements had transformed the 24-room manor house into a rotted husk. Weeds obscured the garden's ornate stone walls, the handiwork of turn-of-the century masons hired from Italy for just that task. Bamboo and other plants threatened to choke out the estate's prized copper beeches." The pertinent geography: Shelter Island is a hamlet (an unincorporated community) in the central and southeastern part of the Town of Shelter Island, Suffolk County. There is 1 village (incorporated municipality) and 2 hamlets (unincorporated community) in the Town of Shelter Island. There are no cities and 10 towns 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 Shelter Island in the Town of Shelter Island is bordered on the north and west by the Hamlet of Shelter Island Heights; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean; and, on the south by the Peconic Bay. 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 Shelter Island in the Town of Shelter Island, Suffolk County on pages 15 & 34 (map) and 35 (population estimate).
