In my last blog I gave you information on how to find your Dutch ancestors so it is fitting that we move our searches over to New York state because that is where the Dutch moved to back in 1613. By the year 2000 Dutch heritage had spread throughout the United States as this Wikipedia map shows:

Dutch American
Following the exploration of the American East Coast by Henry Hudson on behalf of the Dutch East India Company in 1609, Dutch settlement in the Americas started in 1613. From then on a number of villages, including New Amsterdam on the East Coast, which would become the future world metropolis of New York City, were established by Dutch immigrants…

Genealogical Collection 
Jose, you’re a treasure to the genealogy community.
Thank you, it is nice to know that someone appreciates the work I do.
I love fultonhistory.com! I was lost in the archives for days when I first discovered it.
Here’s another NY tip: Familysearch.org added a huge database of land records last month for New York State. The name of the database is “New York, Land Records, 1630-1975.” Coverage for many counties in different ranges within that time period. It takes a bit of patience to understand how the indexes work and then find the records they refer to, as well as to click through the images since there is no search feature attached, but it sure beats being far from the originals with no access at all. Enjoy!
Thanks Brandy for these new links. I got an e-mail from FamilySearch about all the things that they had just added and was thinking of writing a blog on it; your comment here will be a good start for my little blog. Thanks again. Jose
