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:

My Ancestors are all from Friesland - I immigrated to Canada about 25 years ago.
The names I am researching are - Nieuwhof -Miedema - van der Zwaag - Wolters - Hijlkema - Okkema - Hiemstra - Hoekstra - just to name a few.
I also encourage everyone to leave a written record - to interview your oldest relatives while you still can.

I have a large amount of family information (some translated, some in Dutch) on the following: UDINK, OEDINCK, OEDINK. The family was from eastern Holland. I would be happy to share what I have if this name is in your family - dating back to 1560.

Holland to New Amsterdam in the 1600s: van Hoeck (now Vanhook), van Tienhoven, de Haes: related families are Vigne, Cuvelier, Bording, Balck who are not Dutch.

After 20 years of genealogy, I discovered these Dutch ancestors. Curious about possible living relatives.

Hi,
My Dutch ancestors are Gerard Swieringa, Jacoba Haverkamp, John Bos and Henrietta Haverdink. I do not know much about this side of the family and I am having a hard time finding information about the Bos family. I found conflicting information on them.They may be from Germany. They immigrated to Grand Rapids, Michigan in the late 1800's.
