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.
