Hi Lorine,
Thanks you very much for the reminder to search the LOC catalog. Based on
the responses from Dorothy and Howard, it looks like the J. van Roey work
you found may indeed be by the same author. You can be sure I will be
spending some time exploring this further.
Again, thanks for the tip! (now if I could only read dutch...)

Hi All,
In searching the net for additional information on the
Schellinks/Schellinx/Schellinger family, I came across the following entry:
The Grove Dictionary of Art www.groveart.com:

(b Amsterdam, 2 Feb 1623; d Amsterdam, 11 Oct 1678).

Hi Lorine,
Thanks for the info. I did see the LDS films, but was really hoping these
had been published somewhere! I had such trouble trying to read early
English registers I didn't want to even attempt the Dutch if there was any
other solution.
Do you know how the Amsterdam Archives searches work? Is there one master
index?(that is, can I ask for all Schellinks baptisms between say 1600 and
1630?) Or do I need to specify each year by church?
Thanks for your help,

Hi All,
I am currently trying to document the earlier generations of the family of
Cornelius Melyn, and am at a loss for sources of information for his
grandfather Lambert Melyn, his two wives, children, and Lambert's father
Diericz Melyn that I see posted on various webpages across the internet. So
far, I haven't had much luck with responses from the posters, and am hoping
someone here can point me in the right direction.
One website cites 1976 work by a Dr. J. Van Roey for the identity of

Can anyone tell me if there was any significant migration from The
Netherlands to Bermuda around the mid to late 1600's?
I am assuming Willem Garritsen was born in The Netherlands.
I have Willem Garritsen b. before 1632, m. Mary ?, 1650 in Bermuda, d. 1662
New Netherlands.
Willem Willemse, the son of this couple, was born in 1653 in Bermuda, and in
1656 they had a son Cornelis.
In 1659 Mary and William Gerritsen arrived in New Netherland. They had a
daughter Sarah born 1660 and Hannah 1662.

What would help your confusion is the article on the ELSWORTH Family of New

Hi Cynthia and list friends,
Michael John Neill brings up a very important concept. I could replace
the name of Charlene with the name of my son. He has her attitude of
"throw it out". My sisters mock my genealogical ans web efforts. I have
always tried to live by the Girl Scout motto: "Be Prepared", so I have
already taken steps to make sure this nightmare never turns real for me.
1. The documentation I unearthed (dating from the Civil War) has already
been shared with my cousins and my mother's co
Does anyone have any information on the parentage of Enos Ayres who was
located in Orange County NY in the late 1700's. His daughter Sarah/Sally
married John Crane, the s/o Benjamin Crane and Assenath Pellet. Assenath was
the d/o of William Pellet who died in 1799 in Orange County NY.

That is strange. I wonder who complained to her ?
"C" is a very important topic, as we all feel the need to make photocopies
of documents. We are always urged to use primary sources. We are told
that transcripts are a secondary source, & are suspect.
There is of course the other side of the coin. Some among us are so
diligent that they gather enough information to publish it themselves in
books, newsletters & even on-line. These people certainly have a legitimate
concern with "c" law.

Why does almost everyone find it necessary to quote all of the often
lengthy message on which they wish to comment? It would be considerate
to either not quote at all, or quote just enough to make the context of
the reply clear. Those of us who receive the list in digest form find
it even more annoying at times.
Sorry to be a curmudgeon. I love this list and the wonderful
information in it.

Hi Margot,
much of this info is on my Losee web site. references are listed at the bottom of
the pages. http://www.geocities.com/losey_losee/ Please use the information as a
jumping off point as I have not had time to make much needed changes and additions.
Frank Young has sent me a great deal of researched information which, I regret, I
have not had time to add. (has it been a year or more Frank?) Some records for these
families are found at St. Georges Epis. Church, Hempstead.

Van,
I have at least one Revolutionary War ancestor (Henry Wisner, 1742-1812) who was
buried in the Warwick Cemetery in Orange County (or so I have been told!). Does
that cemetery exist and is he really buried there? Looking forward to the
publication of your book as I trust it will be a great help to all of us doing
research in Orange County.

It depends on how you look at. My father-in-law was born in Russian,
what is now the Ukraine. He belonged to the Russian Orthodox Church, he
spoke Russian and he was always considered Russian. However, his surname
was von Kleist. We all know that is of German origin. He never spoke
German nor did he understand it. His sister eventually went to Germany.
When they corresponded, neither knew each other's language, (he didn't
understand German and she didn't understand English) so they used
Russian.
