Please note that the mission of the Floral Park Historical Society is to focus on public history, rather than personal family history or possessions. However, we can provide some information that may be of assistance.
1. U.S. Census Information--The website ancestry.com has U.S. Census information available from its database. This site can be accessed free of charge at some public libraries.
2. Cemetery Records--cemetery records and death records can be obtained from a website titled DeathLibrary.com.
3. Obituaries--The Floral Park Library has microfiche records of back issues of the local newspaper The Gateway which may contain obituaries of residents or former residents of the village.
4. House Information--The Department of Public Works of the Village of Floral Park maintains files on the history of every house in the village with respect to construction plans, renovations, permits, etc. Any house file can be inspected at the Public Works Department by calling them at (516) 326-6300 for further information.
5. Appraisals of old artwork, artifacts, heirlooms, etc. The Floral Park Historical Society does not have the expertise to do appraisal work. Advice from a professional appraiser should be sought.
