• 17th Century Hollanders - Sketches of Seventeenth-Century Hollanders

  Seventeenth-Century Persons Who Lived in Holland and North America: Genealogical and Historical Notes on Their Lives, Families and Activities. Original research projects by Cor Snabel and Elizabeth A. Johnson. Within these pages you will find articles on many persons from Holland and the neighboring countries near it. Many of these people came to the North American colonies in the 1600's, or had family members who did. Interesting information we would like to share here may include family and genealogical data on persons living on both sides of the Atlantic, and sometimes in Brazil or even in places in Eurpoe before they moved to Holland.
