The Face Behind the Veil, a
fiction novel set partly in Staten Island, written by a Staten Islander. The author says, "Because the book is based on
the memories of senior citizens still living on Staten Island, and paints an accurate picture of the Island's past, I am
wondering if you would be interested in posting two related links on the rootsweb pages. Story locations include the
historic St. George Theatre when it was in its prime, the historic Horton's Row townhomes in New Brighton (pictured on the
book's cover) and an elegant Victorian home in Clifton.". First Chapter Free.

Includes 1) extractions for: Christenings 1752-1796, Marriages 1754-1808, Communicants 1769-1792 [all on one index];
Note: the church book states: "This index makes no pretext of "http://richmond.nygenweb.net/ the spelling of the printed text, the aim being to
aid and not perplex the reader. Surnames are indexed with the spellings now [1923] usually used and consequently most
familiar to the reader... "
2) 817 Gravestone inscriptions - complete with type of stone[sometimes], complete transcription [1923]-- [and where they
were illegible in 1923 there are notes from former transcriber's work]. The stones are all numbered so you can often tell
who is next to one another- but there are no apparent 'family plots'. (If anyone has seen a map showing where the identified
rows are,
Jim - elbrecht at email dot com - would love to know about it) There is a separate index for the cemetery.
3) 70 pages of history of the church 1705-1875 with its own index.
