Hi all, 

I posted this to a wall but thought the larger group would benefit so I'm re-posting it here as well.

A great resource on Dutch and Huguenot families in the NJ-NY area is housed at the Passaic County Historical Society library.

They have a one-of-a-kind resource, The Quackenbush collection, which consists of tens of thousands of individual ancestor sheets — all hand written (some on the back of old letters and receipts), loosely indexed, and bound into alphabetized volumes. 

The librarian and volunteer researchers can send you copies of any family members you may be missing (the record entries end about 1940). I'm not sure if there is a cost but they're well worth the money (and the library will appreciate the  donations). If you're in the area, you have to check them out.

Quackenbush Genealogical Sheet Collection:
Files of individual sheets, arranged by family name, documenting Passaic County’s early Dutch, English, and other families from the 1600’s-1800’s. A unique and invaluable research tool.

Best of luck.

Judi, have you tried Google Books or Mocavo? My ancestors include the duTrieux family from Schenectedy, New York. I found quite a bit of information by using these sites to locate history books relating to the families and area surrounding Schenectedy.

I am Jan Zoll and I just started as a new member of the Dutch genealogy group. I'm Dutch and living in The Netherlands. I am searching for ancestors and descendants in Europe and the USA. Hopefully, I can learn a lot from the other members of this group.
