New to this message board. I am hoping that someone can help me in my search. I am seeking information regarding Ann L Burnham married Arnold S Burnham he was from Rouses Point NY. I do not have a maiden name for Ann unfortunately. Ann was from West Babylon Suffolk County and is buried at Calverton National Cemetery. Buried At: Section 8 Site 6937 Is there anyone who lives nearby the cemetery or is visiting the cemetery who would kindly advise me of the head stone inscription? I am just hoping there maybe someone who may have known Ann and Arnold or their families, not sure if there were children from the marriage, or if they separated. I am given to believe they lived at 94 Grand Street Albany and that Arnold may have been a clerk in the Albany Medical Centre? Arnold died at this address in 1988. There was information that Arnold pursued a career in law, there is no evidence of this to date. Arnold was a Staff Sergeant US army 1943-45, and returned to the US with Ann and may have married outside of the US, I really don't know, it may have been that Ann also served in the army? I am hoping someone can help me? Regards Janice Wales UK

Calverton is a military cemetery . There is a website that lists the people interred in the military cemeteries. I know the list includes Pinelawn National cemetery, which is also on Long Island, because 2 of my infant children are buried there and I have seen their names listed . Maybe someone knows how to locate a list for Calverton. The headstone or marker will have the standard military inscription listin DOB and DOD plus relation to military person, their rank and branch of service. Ken Oakley Sgt E-5 U.S. Army

On 2/28/06 (5:10:59 PM MST), in a posting to NYSUFFOL-L@rootsweb.com, Daryl (Hansen) Hiller (DHiller@aol.com) asked, "Let me introduce myself. I am researching my family history and recently found a record of my father's long lost cousin and his wife in Huntington Station. Since I have never done any research in the Suffolk County area, I am hoping listers will guide me in my research. The cousin's name is Sigurd Hansen (b. 1901 in Norway, d. April 1971 in Huntington). I believe his wife was Anna and she died on Nov. 3, 1993, if she is the correct one. They had a daughter (b. about 1925 in New York, probably Brooklyn) named Aggy (Agnes, Agatha??), according to the 1930 census. Where might I find obituaries and/or death records?" For the death certificate, (assuming that the death took place in the Town of Huntington) you would want to contact the Town Clerk of the Town of Huntington and for an obituary (the obit may indicate where the death took place), you would want to contact the South Huntington Public Library: Town Clerk Town of Huntington Huntington Town Hall 100 Main Street Huntington, NY 11743 Tel: 631/351-3206 Fax: 631/351-3205 eMail: clerk@town.huntington.ny.us http://town.huntington.ny.us/ For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the South Huntington Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): South Huntington Public Library 2 Melville Road Huntington Station, NY 11746 Tel: 631/549-4411 Fax: 631/549-6832 eMail: shunlib@suffolk.lib.ny.us http://shpl.suffolk.lib.ny.us The pertinent geography: Huntington Station is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the central part of the Town of Huntington, in the northwest part of Suffolk County.

And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 32 villages and 125 hamlets), the Hamlet of Huntington Station has a different border than does the "Huntington Station, NY 11746" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Huntington Station mailing address and not be in Huntington Station and a place can have other than a Huntington Station mailing address and be in Huntington Station). Those places that have a "Huntington Station, NY" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Huntington Station are in the Hamlet of Huntington, the Hamlet of South Huntington, the Hamlet of Greenlawn and the Hamlet of West Hills; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Huntington Station with a "Dix Hills, NY 11746" mailing address. For those who have their copy of the 2005 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 Huntington Station in the Town of Huntington, Suffolk County on pages 14 & 16 (map) and 17 (population estimate).

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jUB.2ACI/1131.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Actually what I have come to believe, just based on casual observation, is that since much of eastern Long Island was wooded, early farmers were primarily tree farmers and cattlemen. The deep trenches you see scattered throughout our wooded areas were "fences," intended to keep out livestock, and thereby protect the trees. Wood was Long Island's most valuable resource. The vast farmlands you see on eastern Long Island, today, with soil obviously enriched through fertilization are something created. If you wander off these farmlands, you find that the soil surrrounding them is poor and sandy. But in their native homeland soil quality was something that had varied widely, and early English settlers were very adept at judging such things. I don't believe fertilization (fish by the wagon load) began on Long Island until the mid 1700s, and due to an obvious lack of farm implements, wagons, or any form of mechanization, I personally don't believe that proir to this they were anyth! ing more than just subsistence farmers. There were areas that had been cleared by the Indians - they encircled the trees to kill them and then let them decompose over time - but even clearing land by hand was a monumental task. Thirty acres, for example, could take a lifetime to clear. By the mid 1700s there was less land available in Southold; if it had been improved it was expensive, and it was depleted.
