(Of course in 1790, Rockland was part of Orange.) At http://www.familytreemaker.com/00000063.html you can find a form suitable for using to record transcriptions of the 1800 census.

Is anyone familiar with St. Ann(e)'s. Apparently, my father was baptised there but when I tried to locate St. Ann(e)'s I was unable . I have an address of 19 Jefferson St., Nyack, NY. If anyone is familiar with this church, I would be grateful. Thank You, Carol

Hello Jill Johnson from Minnesota, I'm researching my wife's family into & before Rockland County, mostly in the Nyack areas but some in the southern part of that area. Families are SCHMIDT (Neckerbishopheim near Stuttgart -> Brooklyn -> Rockland), BITTIG (Bavaria(?)) and BRAUNSDORF (?? -> Brooklyn -> Rockland. Stange, but the only one we've been able to trace back to the Vaterland is the one with the most common name. Best of success with your research, Mark Moeser MMoeser237@aol.com

I would like to know if there is a Rockland County Census for the year 1800 ? If so has anyone viewed it ? What information does it give ? Thanks for your help, Donna.

Would someone know where I could locate Directories for Nyack during the late 1800's and early 1900's? I do not live in NY so I was wondering if there was someplace I could call or write. Thanks, Carol

I am looking to link with others researching German and (Alsace) French families that settled in southern Rockland County. I am specifically interested in those who came to this area between 1860 and 1880. My NASH family settled in Pearl River - they were from the village of Niedersteinbach in Alsace France. This village went back and forth between Germany and France for years and they often were refered to as German. Jill Johnson from Minnesota

A friend sent me your reply to "Wayne" regarding Elbert Herring/Haring. Thank you for passing on the information from my PhD dissertation ("The Yeoman Ideal . . . . " 1988).

The pub information is: Firth Haring Fabend, A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies: 1660-1800 (New Brunswick, NJ, Rutgers University Press, 1991). It is a history of the Haring Family over its first five generations in America, and it will be of interest to those who like to have their genealogy set into the social and historical context. It won the New York State Historical Association Annual Book Prize and the annual Hendricks Prize of the New Netherland Project in Albany, NY. It is available in many university libraries. Rutgers is supposed to be reissuing it as a paperback. (Their website for information is rutgerspress.rutgers.edu) Rutgers is also publishing my new book, Zion on the Hudson: Dutch New York and New Jersey in the Age of Revivals. Thanks again!

Sorry for the delay in answering the question. Marla Kaste wrote asking how to access a book about the genealogy of the Smith family by George Budke. All of the genealogical and historical papers collected and compiled by George H. Budke are stored at the New York City Public Library, in the Manuscript and Archives Division. They are commonly referred to as the 'Budke Collection.' So, the entire Budke Collection can be found there. Many of the libraries in Rockland County have copies of a number of Budke's works. The New City Public Library has most of the Budke Collection, either in book form or on microfilm. I was at the New City Public Library in 1997 and they had the book at that time. It is called "Genealogy of the Smidt, or Smith, Family," by George H. Budke 1912. It was listed on their computer catalog, but I do not remember if it was in microfilm or book form. You should be able to find most of the Budke Collection at the New City Library in The Rockland Room. Charlie Keasler

http://www.borg.com/~emilies/nydar/chapters.html lists NY State DAR chapters, but not addresses. I don't see anything in Rockland, but I see Goshen, Hastings-on-Hudson, White Plains, and Yonkers. The national home page at http://www.dar.org/ gives address and phone# for the national office, which could give you detailed contact information. My favorite search engine these days is http://www.google.com/ . Check it out! They even have cached copies of many pages for when the site you want to reach is unavailable. --Bruce (Bruce Hamilton, Redondo Beach, CA) bhami@netcom.com http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/

Can anyone give me the names and address of any DAR chapters in the vicinity that date back to the 1930-40s? My husband's grandmother Mary Jane (Polly) Bennett Gillis and his aunt Florence Gillis Du Vall (Mary Jane's daughter) were members. I do not have their DAR numbers or ancestor's name. I am trying to track the Bennett lineage. They lived on Chestnut Street in Spring Valley for many years. Thank you. Kathy Unsel Gillis wbgillis@snet.net

Greetings all, Would anyone know where the original Marriage Records or Marriage Intentions are for the Tappan Dutch Reformed Church or the Kakiat Dutch Reformed Church? In Volume #101, Number 4, October 1970 issue of the N.Y. G. & B., an article appears called "The Irregular Dutch Reformed Churches of Tappan and Kakiat, Rockland County, New York", by Howard I. Durie and George Olin Zabriskie. In this article appears the Marriage Intention of the ancestor I am looking for. The marriage intention states he was born in "philips burgh" and the authors of the articles have assumed this means Tarrytown. I have searched for Frederick Post in Tarrytown and the Philipsburgh Estate for 25 years and can find no record. I am now questioning the information provided by the above mentioned Marriage Intention and would like to see if I can find the original documents. Please know that I do not question the abilities of the authors - they were both known as fine historians and genealogists and contributed a tremendous amount of research material for Rockland County and Bergen County researchers. I simply am at such a "dead end", that I would like to see for myself, if I am following the wrong trail. Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Louise E. Post, British Columbia, Canada

Cole's History of Rockland County can be ordered from the Historical Society. The current edition contains an Everyname Index, including the Baptisms of the Tappan and Clarkstown DRCs.

The book may still be for sale at Rockland Co. Historical Society. It is probably also on LDS film. I wish I had the time to offer to do lok ups, unless of course your willing to wait till schools out in June! :-) Ree

Which is the correct reference? I use Reformed Dutch Church, but I noticed most people use Dutch Reformed Church. "Records of the New York Reformed Dutch Church in New York", published in the NYGB Record , a reference we all use, is why I chose NYRDCh. as my reference. I have "old Dutch" ancestors on my father's side in New Amsterdam and "new Dutch" ancestors on my mother's side emigrating from the Netherlands in 1864. My next problem. How do I reference my "new Dutch" ancestors. How do I reference the Ouddorp Church, or the Woerden Church. Would I say Ouddorp RDCh or Ouddorp RCh. or just Ouddorp, Neth Church ? I would appreciate your input. I know all you smarties will be able to help me. Thank you, Ethel Kay Konight

I have information of George Brickel who died in the Rev. leaving two sons George who was b. posthumously in 1778 and settled in Clarkstown and Thomas b. 1775 who settled in Westwood, Bergen Co., NJ. I have info on both families if anyone is interested. a Brickell correspondant asked me to post this query? The Rainey family is William and Elizabeth Brady Rainey (no dates on either), James (1856-1938) married to Rebecca Hart (1866-1933) in 1881. All this possibly in Rockland Co... James had a brother William still alive in Clearfield, PA when he died. James and Rebecca are the one who went to Indiana Co. with the Brickell's in 1884. PS. George's wife was Ann Heyerd, who after her husb. died married George Douglas I would love to know who her parents were! Ree Hopper
