I'm considering launching a Tottenville History publication on Medium, a space for personal stories, family histories, and memories that bring our neighborhood's past to life. This wouldn't just be my voice telling our story; it would be all of us contributing to a richer, more complete historical record. If you have a Tottenville story to tell, I want to hear about it.

I've poured years of research into the Tottenville History Comes Alive series, bringing 17th and 18th century Staten Island to life through stories of real families, Revolutionary War intrigue, and colonial transformation.
If you've read either book, would you consider leaving a review? Reader feedback makes a real difference.

Best part of researching local history? When it comes alive right in front of you.
At my 1999 talk, a retired fireman shared his story of battling flames as water pressure failed, residents bringing out milk and juice to help.
Then a voice from the audience: "John, is that you? You saved my house!"That moment changed everything for me.

My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry. Learning she was baptized at my own parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, changed everything. History became personal.

Sometimes the best research discoveries happen when you're in the library. Finding Dr. Phillip Papas's That Ever Loyal Island: Staten Island and the American Revolution. Research has a way of connecting you to scholars whose work becomes integral to your own understanding.

The unexpected path to historical research: While covering Spanish Camp for a local newspaper in 1997, I learned about Dorothy Day's connection to Tottenville.
While researching Tottenville, I discovered Benjamin Franklin Joline's 1950 self-published history beginning in 1668. Suddenly the street names I knew became real historical figures!
