Early Dutch on Manhattan Island

by John Winner

Oct 29, 2013

I have just started a blog that is going to deal with early settlers on Manhattan Island. I will be including a vast amount of information not only of interest to the genealogist but for the early New York historian as well.

You can follow me at: http://earlymanhattan.tumblr.com/

I hope you all enjoy it.

    Hi John,

    I look forward to reading your blog.

    Personally I am interested in Douwe Harmens Talma and his family and descendants, who came from The Netherlands on the Bruynvis in 1658.

    I can't yet seem to add the rss feed of your blog to my reader: maybe you can fix that ?

    Kind regards,
    Sylvia Binch-Talma

        I have finished up the Manatus Map. I am now going to start on the 1660 map of Manhattan, this one will contain a lot more information than the 1639 map. I have noticed that there doesn't seem to be to much interest in what I am doing, but I shall continue. Somebody might be able to use it someday.
