Welcome to the Dutch genealogy discussion group on Genealogy Wise

If you are new to this group, please leave a comment below introducing yourself and your Dutch ancestors. Feel free to leave a link to your genealogy website or to discuss your brick walls.

If you are new to Dutch genealogy I suggest you start by reading my article Trace your Dutch roots online, and then search Genlias, the database of Dutch birth, marriage and death records maintained by the Dutch archives.

Here are five resources to get you started:


If your ancestors are among the early Dutch settlers of New Netherland then you need these resources:

What do you know about the Cooks? Did they marry in Holland or in the US? Did they have children in Holland? Did they arrive in the US at Ellis Island or another port? When and where did they die, and can you find an obituary?

 

The names Cook, Adrian and Jenny are not Dutch, they probably changed their names after immigration.

Sure, you can PM me.  I don't use GenealogyWise too much, so let me know if you have any troubles and I'll look into my settings.

Search Ancestry for Lieuwe Van Kampen with an approx. birth year of 1880.  There will be a passenger record in New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Arrival: 11 May 1930.  I'm finding more on the Dutch sites, including their marriage record.  Since they may tie (albeit indirectly) into a project I'm working on, I'm starting pages for them at 

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:Lieuwe_van_Kampen_and_Jiskje_Bi...(1). I'll add details for a few generations there.

I just checked the Ellis Island site.I did'nt find anything on the VanKampen or Cook side.Im feeling like my moms side is a dead end however I know she still has cousins in Frieland its frustrating!
