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:

Any Van Hoesen descendants, you might find this interesting.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
