Hi.,
I am looking for information about the Frost family that lived in S.
Hempstead, LI.
I know there was a Frost family in the 1700s with names Townsend, Platt,
Isaac, and so on. My GG grandfather was born in Lynbrook on May 5, 1834.
His name was Platt Frost. I am trying to make connection between these two
families. If I could find Platt's parents that might do it. Can anyone
help??

the meantime, I will hope that a Sparacino, Pizzolato, Levine,or Butranavage
will contact me from this list.

To list members,
I am stuck in my quest to locate cousins in the state of New York. The latest
records I have received indicate my SPARACINO cousins may be in FARMINGDALE,
NY. I know that JOHN SPARACINO died in April of 1981 and is in St. Charles
Cemetery. I have been unable to obtain an obit of his death so I may identify
his family. Indications are that names within his family may be PIZZOLATO,
LEVINE and BUTRANAVAGE. I am in Louisiana which makes my research a lil more
difficult. Any suggestions
