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:

Visscher = visser  and means Fisherman

Panbakker = pannebakker and means a rooftile maker. Those used to be baked and bakker means baker.

panbakker is i believe, a baker.  visscher is a military term, but i don't know its actual translation.  There is a link where you can insert the word and ask for translation from English to Dutch.  Go to dictionary.com and click on translation link and it should take you to a pull-down menu where you can select Dutch as language you need translated.

Looking for the help with the English translation of the following Dutch occupations: panbakker and visscher.  Any ideas?

I am always on the lookout for Dutch and Huguenot information which makes up the majority of my maternal line. Specific families are: Berdan, Demarest, Braen/Breen, Van Sicklen, Jansen Van Salee / Van Haarlem (yes, the pirates), Ackerman, Banta, Hendricks, Kip, Mead/Meet, Reyerson/Reyersen, Van Horn, Van Riper, to name a few. Luckily, many of my family on this side were New Amsterdam immigrants and, as I still live in NYC, I have access to lots of local resources — more than I have the time for. I'd love to know if there are any people searching specifically for NYC-NJ Dutch as I can most likely summarize some great resources for you. Thanks.

Very interested in the HAGAMAN / HEGEMAN / HAGERMAN, etc. family. I have posted some material in the discussion section of the Long Island Genealogy group here on this site.  Additions, corrections, etc. are welcome.

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.

Madehlinne
