I finished out the National Register up to the current list ... that of 22
March 2002.
There has been a fair amount of additions in upstate New York, esp. Central
New York, but not much anywhere downstate.
There was just one addition on Long Island.

added 6 March 2002
Joshua Wells House, 525 North Suffolk Road, Cutchogue.

anybody on the list know anything about either Wells himself or the house ?

> The website for the National Register of Historic Places has been shut
down for some months. It is back on line now.
> A some ago, a federal judge ordered the Department of the Interior to go
off line, since somehow somebody was able to break into the Indian Trust
Accounts via the Interior websites & steal a huge sum of money from the
Indian Trust. Interior has been working to make their sites more secure.

> There hasn't been much Long Island activity on the Register in the last
number of months. I got on a few nights ago & printed out the weekly reports
up to early February 2002. Here is what I've found:

Sayville

Coram

> Bay Shore United Methodist has a good parish history on their web site.
The present church was constructed in 1893. This is the one listed on the
Register last August. The Register tends to use the term "Methodist
Episcopal" for pre-1939 churches, although Bay Shore M. E. became Bay Shore
Methodist in 1939 & Bay Shore United Methodist in 1968 as the various
Methodist groups have re-united. You can get to Bay Shore's page via the
General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church home page
... all U. M. churches with home pages should be accessible via this page.
