My family history extends back to the 1890s in the Village of Haverstraw. My ancestors came to the Village to work in the clay pits at the many brickyard companies that lined the shores of the Hudson River here. While my father's side of the family (the Livseys, the Natales, and the Rodriguezes) have since moved to all different corners of the United States, their history and memories are all still rooted in the Village. I currently live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, and my parents reside in Stony Point, N.Y. where they remain very active in the Village of Haverstraw through their non-profit North Rockland Rowing Club INC. I am excited to share with you Haverstraw's vast history and current revitalization efforts. If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact me directly. Keep reading and enjoy! Best Regards, Jared Rodriguez
