We are happy to offer our first items of genealogy and
local history from Queens
County, NY, (one of the five counties that make up New York City today, and one
of New York State's original counties) and we plan to offer additional items of historical interest soon. Note that present-day Nassau County was removed from Queens County in 1898 - 1899; thus many locations identified as being in Queens County in our publications that predate the division are today in Nassau County. Please see our Nassau County page for more information.

Antiquities of Long Island by
Gabriel Furman (1874). This item is a classic compendium of the
colonial history of Long Island (including modern Queens County) -- its Dutch Reformed, Puritan, Anglican
religious traditions; its time as a part of Connecticut; dealings with
Native Americans; a little genealogy -- it's all here. While Long
Island is a melting pot today, this volume reveals how long the history
of cultures meeting and mixing on Long Island has been a way of life.
