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:

I am new to this site.  My Dutch ancestors include the surnames of Bosch, Wyncoop, Osterhout, Van Wagenen, and I am not sure if Misner is Dutch or not???  They were all in early New Amsterdam (New York)

For those Waldron descendants, check out www.authorgloriawaldronhukle.com , she has a book in which she recreates (with a hefty license of fiction) the life of her Waldron ancestors in New Amsterdam.

Donna, we both reacted...;-))

Visscher = old Dutch for fisherman and indeed bakker means baker, but the word panbakker comes from pannebakker and is specifically foor someone who is baking roof-tiles.

Google translate or other such websites would not know the words, I believe, because the spelling is not used any longer.
