Genealogy Collective
Join us on August 13 at 7 pm with Geoff Gentilini for Using Military Service Records to Research Your Family History.
This presentation will focus on records available for research of individual military veterans from the Revolutionary War through Vietnam. Military service records are the best resource for documenting a veteran's military service. Service records also contain rich detail about the veteran's families, making them an important and often overlooked tool for genealogists.

“Wild Manhasset”
Long Island is home of both native (aggressive) and non-native (invasive) species. Invasive species are organisms that are not native to the ecosystem under consideration and whose introduction is a constant challenge to the protection of our natural resources.
The Influenza Epidemic of 1918 and the Manhasset Visiting Nurse Service
Most of us have never lived through a pandemic like Covid-19 before, but we have heard or learned about them, from the Spanish Flu to more notorious plagues like the Black Death.
