Chris:

Thank you for suggesting another possible match for HEERFORT as Hartford,
CT.

The Heerfort mentioned on my website in regard to the Traphagen family is
the
present day German city of Herford in Westphalia. I would think that
Heerfort
mentioned in the New Amsterdam lidmaten could be a Dutch version of
Hartford,
Connecticut. The Dutch claimed this region at one time so it is not
impossible that she did not return to Europe just moved to a different area
in North
America.
