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:

If your ancestors are among the early Dutch settlers of New Netherland then you need these resources (more coming soon):

Hello!

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.

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.

HI,
Just joined and am looking for info surrounding my Grandmothers family line. Her maiden name was VANOVER. with the married name of Margaret Ellen Reese . I traced her line back to Cornelius Vanover 1685-1691. They came from Ireland to Flanders Holland, to Long Island New York, to Somerset New Jersey, to Virginia, to North Carolina, to John in Kentucky born 1826 married to Nancy. Then to James Henry in Kentucky married to Sarah Elizabeth Lewis, who had Margaret Ellen Vanover my Grandmother whse married name was Reese.

Sound familiar to anyone? Let me know! I'd love to here from you about any intersecting families!
Deb
