Hello all,

There are a lot of people in NY who can trace their roots back to some sort of Dutch Descendancy. Having seen the need, I decided to start a Message List for those Dutch who emigrated or at least passed through New York State: , by name.

New York State is riddled with Dutch settlements. They are part of the fabric of the American culture that make it so unique. Of course, we'll want to search for our ancestor roots, post our surnames and look for those connections. But, the other objectives of this list are not only to make contact with our ancestors and new cousins, but to discover our heritage, by enriching what we know about them, their everyday lives, so we can begin to put flesh and bones to the names and dates of our ancestors! And naturally, to have fun in the process!

Do you have any stories about your family you'd like to share? Any favorite traditions or customs handed down? How about recipes? Research tips on searching in the US and in the Netherlands. Perhaps a collection of obits, or census records. Websites.

You can subscribe by sending a empty email to: with only the word subscribe in the subject line and nothing else and only the word subscribe in the body of the note and nothing else.

Come join the fun! Hope to hear from you soon on the list!

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.
