Pre-publication sale announcement

350 years ago, this year, Claude Le Maitre landed on Long Island
and became the ancestor of all who inherit the name Delamater, Delameter,
Delamarter, De La Mater, De La Matyr, Delamatre, Delemeter (various other
spellings) in America. Now you can purchase a family tree of ALL of
Claude’s known descendants that will be published later this fall.
The Le Maitre family left France and sought refuge in
Canterbury, England during the days of the Spanish Inquisition. Later,
after living in Amsterdam, Holland for several years, Claude and his
young wife joined a party of Dutch families and moved to the New World.
He eventually settled on Manhattan Island and his family grew and spread
up the Hudson River to the Kingston, Rhinebeck and Albany area, and into
New Jersey and Canada. Subsequent generations, like many others in
America, moved westward.
In addition to the family tree information, there is an
overview of the family’s history in France, environs prior to their
coming to America, nearly 100 photographs, and lots of biography that
will help you to connect and celebrate our 350 years in America.
It was my goal over thirty years ago to trace the descendants of Claude,
male and female, and to record their stories. Since that time it has been
an exciting adventure to discover, connect, and track extended family
members. It is my hope that this book will bring to the descendants of
Claude Le Maitre an excitement, a sense of purpose, and a better
understanding and appreciation of our great heritage. Thus the title of
this book, Connecting With Our Past: A Genealogy of Descendants of Claude
Le Maitre.
This 2 volume set includes the genealogy of approximately 12,000 direct
descendants of Claude Le Maitre and their families and an index of over
18,000 names. It will be printed by Gateway Press and has nearly 1,400
pages (8 1/2 x 11) printed on 50 lb. natural, acid-free paper. It will be
Smyth-sewn and casebound in Roxite cloth, the spine and front cover
stamped in gold, with a reinforced binding.
