This site presents compiled genealogies, in register format, of families that settled in New Netherland between 1623 and 1664. These families came primarily from northern Europe. They are of many ethnic origins including: Dutch, Flemish, French, German, Scandinavian and English along with a few from Prussia, Poland, Italy, Scotland, Ireland etc. Because of the many marriages between Dutch settlers in New Netherland and English settlers in New England, on Long Island and in New Jersey, many early English families are also included.
This is a work in progress and is continuously being expanded.
Anyone with an interest in or with information about any of the families presented here is encouraged to email any additions or corrections, including new information and typo corrections, to be added to this growing project.
Assistance with information linking females to to their parents, spouses and children within these compilied genealogies is sought.
Also, throughout this work there are probably many instances of people whose relationship with either a spouse or parent is known. If you are aware of any of these relationships, please let me know so that their relationships may be corrected. Please also let me know of any discovered broken links.
Families whose genealogy has been compiled are listed below and are linked to that families register chart.
