Product Description
The purpose of this book is to show the researcher how to trace a 17th-century New Netherland ancestor back to his place of origin in Europe. Mrs. Epperson demonstrates that without leaving the United States, and without speaking or reading a foreign language, the researcher, in using such records as exist at the LDS Family History Library and family history centers throughout the United States, can successfully trace his New Netherland ancestry all on his own. Step by step she guides the researcher through the maze of extant records--passenger lists, marriage registers, early court records, and church records--pausing along the way to explain Dutch naming practices and the importance of glossaries, gazetteers and maps. Her book is the new crucial link for the millions of Americans whose ancestors are numbered among the band of 10,000 inhabitants of 17th-century New Netherland.

Invaluable Guide for New Netherland Records! March 20, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
In this book, Gwen F. Epperson has provided researchers of 17th Century New Netherland (present day New York) with an invaluable learning tool. Mrs. Epperson shares her familiarty with available records, her experience in using European records, and her knowledge of how and where one might determine the place of origin of a New Netherland family. Mrs. Epperson explains what New Netherland records exist in the Family History Library and how any researcher can use these resources effectively . She also clearly lists records , such as the microfilmed Amsterdam church records (in Dutch), which she believes can be tackled by researchers whose only language is English. With her guidance those who have been afraid to venture into the realm of non-English records can feel more confident about beginning. Every genealogist with a family line in New Netherland will want to consult Mrs. Epperson's small, but valuable guide.
