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:

WILLIAMS - GA / LIBERIA
GREGORY - GA / NJ
FLAMER - DE / NJ
GUY - DE/ PA/ NJ
RUSECKAS - PA / LITHUANIA

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!

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.
