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!!!
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.
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!

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?
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
Greetings from Holland MI, USA. I'm new to the site and researching my Hop family from the Harderwjk area. I appreciate all the links provided and I'd appreciate contact from any possible relatives
G'day from Australia. Moved here from USA 11 years ago, and moving to England soon. My Dutch ancestors settled in NY. Always looking for more info on the following surnames: Barent, Bergen, Bradt/Bratt, Cool, Crom/Krom, Denyce, Hendricks, Louw, de Manderville, Middagh, Van Ness, Nevius, Van Nostrand, Potter, Rapalje, Ridder, Roberts, Roosa, Seals, Schenck, Seubering, Spruyt, Stryker, Swart, Ten Broeck, Ten Eyke/Ten Eyck, Trico, Van Beeck, Van Beck, Van Couwenhoven, Van Kouwenhoven, Van der Mark, Van der Meer, Van der Veer, Van der Volgen, Van Dyke, Van Etten, Van Schule, Van Vechten, Van Vliet, Van Vredenburg, Veeder, Ver Planck, Viele, Von Rotmers, Voorhees, Vrooman, Wyckoff . Cheers, Barb
HI, new to this group. I have transcribed Poucher's grave stone inscriptions of Ulster County, NY to my website. www.thecemeterysite.com , and there are a lot of Dutch names in Ulster County so hopefully you will find this useful. There also a number of small cemeteries from Coeymans, Albany Co., NY transcribed on my site. Coeymans, as you can imagine was settled by the Dutch.
Just jumping in to say hi.I'm striving to to learn more of my Dutch Veenstra and Ellens grandparents.
I'm researching the following families:
BURROUGHS/BURROWS - GA / NJ / VA
WILLIAMS - GA / LIBERIA
GREGORY - GA / NJ
FLAMER - DE / NJ
GUY - DE/ PA/ NJ
RUSECKAS - PA / LITHUANIA
STUDIVAN - VA/PA
WILLIAMS - SC
GOLDSMITH - SC
GRANT/SHAPIRO/COHEN - JEWISH / RUSSIA / LATVIA
VEENSTRA/ELLENS - DUTCH /MI / HOLLAND
KAHARA/WAMIRU - KENYA
And if anyone is going to be in Atlanta for the Family History Expos, stop by and say hi. I'm doing a presentation on the Bark Azor and the Liberian Exodus out of Charleston in 1878. Would love to see you!
I'm new to this group and am just learning more about the Dutch families to whom I am related.
Just some of the family names are: BANTA; DuPre'; de Manderville; Westervelt; Hellings; Martense; Terhune; Stryker; Demarest [Des Marets]; Slodt/Slot; de Ruine; de Groot; Van Hoorn/Van Horn; Van Buskirk; Brinckerhoff; Lozier; and Dey/Day.
While I'm just getting started, I'd be glad to share information with those related to these families.
My name is Brenda and my ancestors are Dutch. Names of interest include; van der Zant, Bouman, Meijer, van Gulik, Bosch, van Lemmers, Walter and Poolen.
Very interested in the HAGAMAN / HEGEMAN / HAGERMAN, etc. family. I have posted some material in the discussion section of the Long Island Genealogy group here on this site. Additions, corrections, etc. are welcome.
Any Van Deusen, Van Alstyne, Vam Amersfoort/Steenbergh, Vosburghs here? I also have Vigne, Van Der Linde, Metselaer, Slyck, Swart, Roosa, Van Buren, Hornbeck, Bogaert. I would just like to meet some distant cousins.
I am always on the lookout for Dutch and Huguenot information which makes up the majority of my maternal line. Specific families are: Berdan, Demarest, Braen/Breen, Van Sicklen, Jansen Van Salee / Van Haarlem (yes, the pirates), Ackerman, Banta, Hendricks, Kip, Mead/Meet, Reyerson/Reyersen, Van Horn, Van Riper, to name a few. Luckily, many of my family on this side were New Amsterdam immigrants and, as I still live in NYC, I have access to lots of local resources — more than I have the time for. I'd love to know if there are any people searching specifically for NYC-NJ Dutch as I can most likely summarize some great resources for you. Thanks.
panbakker is i believe, a baker. visscher is a military term, but i don't know its actual translation. There is a link where you can insert the word and ask for translation from English to Dutch. Go to dictionary.com and click on translation link and it should take you to a pull-down menu where you can select Dutch as language you need translated.
Visscher = old Dutch for fisherman and indeed bakker means baker, but the word panbakker comes from pannebakker and is specifically foor someone who is baking roof-tiles.
Google translate or other such websites would not know the words, I believe, because the spelling is not used any longer.
I am related to the Banta family from Frisia and their various allied families, including Sip, Van Vliet, Ackerman, Hendricks, Reyerson/Reyersen, etc.!!
