New
Netherland Connections |
by Dorothy
A. Koenig, Editor
I began New
Netherland Connections in February 1996.
It is a quarterly—published in February, May, August, and November—designed
to help people who are looking for their New Netherland ancestors and their
descendants.
Each issue has a
feature article, replies to queries, items of Dutch colonial interest, and
queries (of any length) and runs to about 28 pages. I am happy to send one
sample copy to any interested party who wants to see what New Netherland
Connections is like. If you would
like to have a sample, please email your postal address to dkoenig@lmi.net.
The cost of a
subscription is $20.00 (U.S.) per calendar year. If you wish to subscribe, please send your check in the amount of
$20.00 to me at:
1232
Carlotta Avenue
Berkeley,
CA 94707-2707
All past issues are
available at $20.00 per annual volume or $5.00 per single issue, starting in
1996.
Every-name indexes
per volume are available as well. During its first three years of publication
over 5,000 names related to Dutch colonial ancestors appeared in the pages of NNC. The indexes cost $6.00 each.
If you are
interested in the contents and do not want to subscribe, complimentary
subscriptions have been sent to some major genealogical libraries. The Family
History Library in Salt Lake City has begun filming NNC and issues
through 2003 are already available through your local Family
History Center as follows:
