       Loosdrecht," The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, 49 (1974):
       1-10, 91-111.
   5.  The Van Gelder and Stokes articles differs as to the name of Fytie Van
       Gelder's father.  Stokes believes it to be Nicholas while Van Gelder
       claims it's Hendrick.  Both men are given the same wife.  Since the name
       "Hendrick" appears among the children of Fytie while Nicholas is absent,
       I believe that Van Gelder is correct.
   6.  This generation was missing in the Stokes article.

  19.  Riker states that she died unmarried yet Stokes states that she was the
       wife of Hendrick Janszen.
  20.  Her ancestry is unknown to me, yet I feel that she has New Netherland
       ancestors.  Sponsors of the baptism of her daughter Helena ([baptised
       10 April 1714 as recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of New York] were
       Jan Powelse and Geertruyd Wynants, possibly a sister?
