Researchers need to understand that all "passenger lists" for travel from the Netherlands to New Netherland between 1654 and 1664 came from information on the debit side of the West India Company Account Book. This book showed who owed money when they arrived. The list of those who owed money on arrival in New Netherland has been published but this brings us to a caveat. Researchers must be very cautious about which version they are using. Many of the early versions are incorrect or missing names. (rest of article edited for this email, you may continue reading at http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com ) You can view these reconstructed and new passenger lists at Ships Passenger Lists to New Netherland at http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/ships/ This is an Olive Tree Genealogy exclusive. If you find my reconstructed lists on any other websites I'd appreciate a note letting me know. Sadly, plagiarism and copyright violations are in full force on the internet. -- Posted By Genealogy Blogger to Olive Tree Genealogy Blogat 1/21/2011 06:35:00 AM -- Follow my genealogy updates on Twitter http://twitter.com/LorineMS Olive Tree Genealogy http://olivetreegenealogy.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
