Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and researching the Rozeboom, Sorgdrager (Zorgdrager), Visser, De Graaf families (just to name a few). My ancestor come from Friesland, Gelderland, Noord- Holland, and Zuid-Holland, I use Google Tanslate to help with interpreting documents for me.

Hi Dave,
AlleFriezen is indeed a great site if you have ancestors from Friesland. There is a small Dutch genealogy dictionary on my website to help you interpret the records. If you get stuck with the interpretation, just post your query here, probably someone will help you.

Hi,I am new to this site and just wanted to let every one know I have found a new site that you are able to view and download a pdf file of the actual birth,marriage, death records from Friesland. Here is the web site http://www.allefriezen.nl/.
Now All I need is someone to interpret the pages for me when i get all of them I need for my great grandparents.

I posted the translation of the letter at my blog. It was written in 1766 by a whaling sea captain to his daughter in law. He was my 6x great grandfather Michiel Ockers Hogerzeijl . I'm sorry, but I didn't put in a scan of the orginal letter written in Dutch!

Sorry I didn't use the link feature of the comment; everything didn't come through the first time.

Enjoy and let me know how it works out for you!

A very helpful translater I've found is Google although it has a hard time with slang. Go figure! LOL

Myra, I have VerPlank, Vinje, and Cueviller on my father's side. I have Conkright on my mother's side, it was Kranckheyt when they were in New York, became Conkright later when they were in Kentucky. Vinje was also Vigne from France in my lineage who moved to Holland then moved to New Amsterdam with the Dutch, names were Guillaume Vigne and Adrienne Cuvellier.

Hi Heather,
I am a native Dutch speaker, married to an Englishman, and I wouldn't mind translating your letter for you.
Kind regards,
Sylvia

I don't speak Dutch, but I have a copy of a letter from an ancestor written in Dutch. It is fairly short, and I would like to have it translated. Is there anyone on this forum who reads Dutch and could help me out?
