My ancestors came through Holland, stayed for a few generations, then went on to America in 1634...they were settlers of Niew Amsterdam (later became New York).

Among their names are: DeForest, DeCoursey (Corsi/Corsa/Corsaw/Corszen, etc.), Van Oblinis, Decker, Van Garden, Cray, Van Campen, Christiaens, and Gerrits.

My Dutch ancestors were among the early settlers of New York and New Jersey in the 1600s and intermarried with French, German, Norwegian lines. Surnames include v.d.Poel (Vanderpool); Ver Plank, De Hooges, Post, Weibling, Vinje, Bradt and Cueviller. I enjoy reading about New Netherland and hope to learn more about these families.

My Dutch immigrant ancestor was Jan Mangelse, son of Mangel Rol. Jan came to Beverwyck (Albany), New Netherlands (New York) in 1655. The family became known as the Roll family in subsequent generations.

The Dutch lines I'm following are much more recent - Breitner, Rapmund, Vriezelaar, Herwehe, Douma, Hendriks, Gortmans, Barth, Jaeger, Girod, Soest. I have found GenLias to be a goldmine.

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.

I also encourage everyone to leave a written record - to interview your oldest relatives while you still can.

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.

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
