About the coordinator: This page is maintained by Bruce A. Hamilton. Send suggestions to me at bhami@pobox.com. Both sides of my family lived in Rockland County for the past 160 years or so, but I have never lived there. I grew up mainly in Monmouth Co. New Jersey and Chester Co. Pennsylvania, and my personal experience with Rockland consists mostly of frequent visits to Pearl River, Nanuet, and Central Nyack as a child.
