I'll be in NY for several days. I have a number of easy to hard tasks on my wish list for NY. What types of realistic goals are possible in Rockland/Bergen county in a day's worth of research? Some of the things I'd like to find: I'd really love to find the details, including parents of Anne Secor *(1785-1795), oo Edward (Adrian) Waldron (the younger) [10 Feb 1803, West Hempstead], +(1820-1825), likely in Haverstraw (but who knows with the Waldron Clan). Other things: 1. Calvin Waldron oo Mary Youmans, ~1836, ?; 2. Thomas Waldron baptism/birth 9 Feb 1856; 3. Mary Youmans death >1898?, probably around Mt. Arlington, NJ. 4. Graves for the above three (Thomas in 1898 and Calvin in 1896 both in Mt. Arlington). 5. Hannah Allison death >1825, (wife of RW Patriot Adrian Waldron). Haverstraw? 6. Jonathon Youmans death (1763-), RW Patriot (yes he enlisted as a teen and served, probably as a gopher, what not). Haverstraw? Son of Jonathon Youmans and Maria Smith. 7. Jonathon's wife's info, Elizabeth DeGraw (18 May 1756 - ?), dau of Johannes DeGrauw and Rachel van Hoorn. 8. Information on George Babcock (1766 - ) son of Thomas Babcock and brother of RW Patriot Isaac Babcock (source: Isaac's RW papers). 9. Anything on George's wife, Elisabeth Jones. 10. and lots, lots more. I expect a good deal of this information to be centered around Haverstraw, but as you know, nothing is that easy with these old Dutch families. I know there are a few wills I'll be looking up, a few cemetery trips (perhaps early in the morning, before normal working hours, or late evening, or even another day). So any tips for best locations to do research are greatly appreciated. I know of a few locations with a lot of resources, but as I've never used any of them, I'd like your opinions on the best places to start to attempt to achieve the most. Thanks, Brian
