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:
- Wie Was Wie
- Trace your Dutch roots
- Digital resources
- Yvette's Dutch genealogy homepage
- FamilySearch research outline
If your ancestors are among the early Dutch settlers of New Netherland then you need these resources:
- Baptisms (1639-1800) and marriages (1639-1801) from the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam and New York on Genlias
- New Netherland pages on The Olive Tree Genealogy
- The New Netherland Institute and New Netherland Project

Did anyone see this fascinating story?
You can't blame my ancestors. We weren't even on this side of the Atlantic for another 49 years.

Saskia: zn is short for zoon (son), so Hzn means son of H., Wzn means son of W (so their fathers' initials are H. and W., respectively). Sometimes people added these abbreviations to their names to distinguish between cousins with the same names.
