Roland: I think you are a little ahead of your time - in 1720 we were a
colony of the British Crown, so born in Holland ment just that. Furthermore
the British encouraged both the Dutch and the palanite Germans to settle
here. There was to my knowledge no naturalizatioin act at the time unless it
was sometrhing the British had as we didn't become a nation until 1778.
