I am new to this site.  My Dutch ancestors include the surnames of Bosch, Wyncoop, Osterhout, Van Wagenen, and I am not sure if Misner is Dutch or not???  They were all in early New Amsterdam (New York)

For those Waldron descendants, check out www.authorgloriawaldronhukle.com , she has a book in which she recreates (with a hefty license of fiction) the life of her Waldron ancestors in New Amsterdam.

Donna, we both reacted...;-))

Visscher = old Dutch for fisherman and indeed bakker means baker, but the word panbakker comes from pannebakker and is specifically foor someone who is baking roof-tiles.

Google translate or other such websites would not know the words, I believe, because the spelling is not used any longer.
