My Dutch ancestors came from Zeeland. Mainly surnames Van Parijs/Van Price, Krebbeks. After that they seem to be traced into Belgium.

My Dutch ancestors came to West Michigan from Goes and Friesland in 1848 with surnames Benjaminse and VandenBosch and later on the Decker and Van Dyke families. I found the site www.zeeuwengezocht.nl very helpful in tracing their ancestors.

Hi,
My Dutch ancestors are Gerard Swieringa, Jacoba Haverkamp, John Bos and Henrietta Haverdink. I do not know much about this side of the family and I am having a hard time finding information about the Bos family. I found conflicting information on them.They may be from Germany. They immigrated to Grand Rapids, Michigan in the late 1800's.

Descended from the Gulicks.

I have Dutch ancestors that I have been looking for they are the Vanderbecks

Holland to New Amsterdam in the 1600s: van Hoeck (now Vanhook), van Tienhoven, de Haes: related families are Vigne, Cuvelier, Bording, Balck who are not Dutch.

After 20 years of genealogy, I discovered these Dutch ancestors. Curious about possible living relatives.

I have a large amount of family information (some translated, some in Dutch) on the following: UDINK, OEDINCK, OEDINK. The family was from eastern Holland. I would be happy to share what I have if this name is in your family - dating back to 1560.

My dutch surnames are VanKeuren,Van Pelt,VanDyke,Shenck,VanWagenen,VanSlyke,Ostrander,Traphagan,Kool, and many others.

Lots of New Amsterdam ancestors including Joris Rapelye (through Sarah, Jannetje and Jeronomus), Bergen, Vanderbeeck, Vanderbilt, Remsen, Nostrand, Snediker, Hoogland, Cashow, Van Vechten, Van Wicklen, and Van Wagner. Have Dutch Lines public tree on Ancestry.com

I have a long list as well as French Huguenot ancestry that left from Amsterdam on the EENDRACHT in March 1624 for the new world...MONFOORT/MONTFORT/MONFORT...and more..will post them all later this week. Banta is one I will mention now..they were from Friesland.

I think I have my ancestry on my dad's line divided between Dutch and their close related French Huguenot lines....Dutch lines include, Banta, Riker/Ryker/Ryken, Marston [? could be French Huguenot], Blodgoet, Brinckerhoff, Haff, Meet, Van Meter and possible others. French Huguenot lines include Montfort/Monfort/Monfoort, Demarest, Sohier, dePlancken/dePlanck, Moreau, Terhune, Mabie/Mabille, DuBois, deBlanchen, Bodine, Crocheron. I probably have others but my mind wanders and as I was digging for more names...it wandered off again.

Hello.... my Grandfather was from Amsterdam. He was not born there. Came over and jumped ship. Do not know what state. His name was Andrew M. Veltman. I have a picture of him and his brothers on a ship in Amsterdam.
Have a good day.

I am researching the following Dutch families:
Van Sutphen, Corteljou, Van Pelt. I have info on the Sutphen's living in Monmouth Co. New Jersey, Somerset Co. and New Utrecht N. Y. My Sutphen's came to U.S. about mid 1600's Dirck Van Sutphen, his son Guisbert b. 16 Oct 1693 New Utrecht, Kings Co. N. Y.was my 5th g-grandfather.
Don't have much on the Cortelyou's or Van Pelts as to who they connect to. Only how the maternal line married into the Sutphen's.
Any one who may be researching these names please contact me. Thanks

My ancestors include Maes, Vermast, VanTourenhout, Mandeville, Vandervoort or oode or? and maybe Declerck/q.

My biggest wall is sphelling. So J. Vandervoort becomes Joanna Ford and VanTourenhout got listed as the Thunhards, VonTourphouts, and who knows what else.

My Dutch ancestor is also one of my brick wall ancestors. Susan Ann Westervelt was born in either New York or New Jersey on 9 March 1823 and died 2 Apr 1863 in Montrose, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. She married Enos Newcomb on 12 Feb 1845. I don't see any Westevelts in the 1840 PA census but I haven't tried any alternate spellings.

The source of this information is the Newcomb Genealogy, Descendants of Andrew Newcomb, compled by Betheul Merritt Newcomb, 1923. She is not listed in Genealogy of the Westervelt Family, by Walter Tallman Westervelt.

Thank you for your comments. I worked on this line several months ago and just found my notes. I don't believe the information on FamilySearch is correct, either. William and Sallie/Sarah Westervelt are buried in Westerville, Ohio. Enos Newcomb died 14 Apr 1891 in Greeley, Iowa and I think Susan died in Pennsylvania. Sadly, there are multiple family tree entries on Ancestry.com that repeats an error in the William Westervelt family. I'll have more on it soon on my blog.

Hello all. I'm new to the group and descended from Joris Rapalje & Catalyntje Trico. Other surnames of direct descent: Bergen, Westervelt & variants, Demarest & variants, Vanderipe, Cozine, Cowenhoven, Staats, Van Vechten, Van Schywen, Middagh, Wizzelpenning, Debaun, Huyberese, Van Dyke, Snediker, Haegen

Any Van Hoesen descendants, you might find this interesting.

I am researching my wife's family and have come across a brick will with a Willem (Gerrits) Vis who married Wympje (Pieters) Veen. Hendrik (Willems) Vis was born Jun 18 1860 son of Willem and Wympje in Aengwirden Friesland

Enno

thank yo

My name is Keren, currently living in the Netherlands. I started researching my family lines some 30 years ago. Got hooked and never managed to free myself from this genealogical bug!!!

Hzn and Wzn. What do these abbreviations, which follow names, signify please?

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.

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.

New on the GenLias website:

Ancestors New Amsterdam – New York in Genlias

In 1609, exactly 400 years ago, the explorer Henry Hudson left Amsterdam engaged by the Dutch East India Company to try to find a sea route along the north-east coast of North America. He did not find that route, but he discovered the island Manna Hatta. In his wake came Dutch traders and colonists who founded New Amsterdam. These ancestors of the present-day New York can now be found in Genlias.

De baptismal and marriage records have survived, beginning in 1639 and these data are now uploaded in our unique ancestor database Genlias. At the same time the site is enlarged with the background information about these records. The grand totals are 20.219 baptismal records over the years 1639-1800 and 6636 marriage records over the years 1639-1801.

Now you can search for the ancestors of Roosevelt, Van der Bildt, Bogardt, Van Bueren and Springsteen in Genlias and maybe, leafing through the database, you will come across members of your family!

This is only the beginning, according to Rob Huijbrecht the project manager of Genlias Overseas. In the future we hope to add even more faraway countries. So the researchers can track their ancestors who emigrated with the help of Genlias.

Hi everyone. I just found this page today. I have been doing my family genealogy for some 30 years now. Can't stop! My family is mostly from Friesland, North Holland, and South Holland, and a few scattered ones from Germany (before 1750) I was born in Utrecht, so I have no American ancestors. My family names are PRAAMSMA, BOMMER, BORGER, BANGMA, GEERTSMA, RODENRIJS, UITTENBROEK, van HAASTEREN (and all it's permutations) LABEE,and many more. I still have many blank spots on my tree.
Just can't seem to kick the habit!

Maybe this helps: A Guide to Genlias.

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?

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

Thanks, I found someone to translate for me. Thank you, I may find more letters and need some more help!

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.

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

http://translate.google.com/#nl|en|

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!

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!
