    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Die Cronycke
    2. Bob Billard
    3. Hi folks, Yes, I'm still around, just been very low profile for quite awhile. Been adding things here and there to my website at www.AncestralCurios.com My latest project has been scanning some pages from one of the OLD books kicking around here with the fancy title: Die Cronycke van Hollandt Zeelandt ende Vrieslant beghinnende van Adams tiden tot die geboerte ons heren Jhesum voertgaende tot den jare M.CCCCC. ende Xvij. Leiden, Jan Seversz., 18 August 1517. This is the famous first Dutch national chronicle, generally known as the Divisiekroniek as it was composed in 3 parts and 23 divisions by the Christian humanist scholar and Augustinian monk Cornelius Aurelius printed in 1517. What I have is a copy of the second edition printed in the year 1585 by Peeter Verhaghen in Dordrecht with a continuation to 1584. This is not something you just find in any old library. I'm still trying to determine just how rare it might be. Feel free to take a look: www.ancestralcurios.com/Die_Cronycke.htm I have also updated my RecordSearch program and added a lot more record files of Marriages and Baptisms. Many of them are not yet on the website, but are part of the full installation of RecordSearch. Enjoy & Happy New Year! Bob Billard
