I haven't read all of the emails so I hope I'm not duplicating any of the responses. The Rockland County Archive is wonderful! I found microfilms with wills and so forth which has helped me greatly. There were wills originally from Orange County but as you know Rockland was formed after the Rev War. I haven't checked out the Orange Co Archives/Historical Soc yet but hope to do so in the future. The Rockland Co Genealogy Society may be of help to you http://rocklandgenealogy.org/ . They volunteer weekly or twice a week at the archives as well as meet in the New City Library. Oh there's some excellent microfilm in the New City library as well as books. http://www.newcitylibrary.org/ If I recall correctly Sally Pelligrini is the historical librarian. She is a wonderful source of information. Here's the link to check the types of books they have http://rcls.ent.sirsi.net/client/search/results/newcity/q$003dgenealogy$0026rw$003d0$0026ln$003den_US$0026ic$003dfalse$0026te$003d$0026dt$003d$0026sm$003dfalse$0026 Scanned Clarkstown info: http://www.town.clarkstown.ny.us/html/town_clerk_historical_records_1752_1789.asp Good luck!

In addition to the Library's own collection on local history and genealogy, The Genealogical Society of Bergen Co. collection is housed here (including my own compilation on CD on "Early Bergen County Families" which spills over to include Rockland County, Passaic Co., and further field in some cases). The New City Library, New City, Rockland County, NY which has a "Rockland Room" with a great collection of material on Rockland County local history and genealogy. Both these locations have excellent librarians who will be happy to help you and can also suggest other avenues for your research. I hope you are able to get most of your questions answered.
