What is a One Place Study?

 "A One Place Study (OPS) is a study of the genealogy and history of a specific place."  from The One Place Study Project at WikiTree.  More information about this type of Study can be found at the web site of the Society for One-Place Studies.  In effect, it's a way of firmly connecting local history and genealogy.

This blog will record my progress in conducting a Study of Rockland, New York; the town, not the county. 

Many of my ancestors lived in Rockland at one time.  It's located in Sullivan County with easy access via Route 17 near the southern New York State border with Pennsylvania.

More later....
