CONGRATS Lorine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Olive Tree Genealogy <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, May 20, 2010 5:34 pm Subject: [DUTCH-COLONIES] New book on Van Slyke Family Hello everyone I'm very excited to announce that I have completed another enealogy-history book: The Van Slyke Family in America: A Genealogy of Cornelise Antonissen an Slyke, 1604-1676 and his Mohawk Wife Ots-Toch , including the tory of Jacques Hertel, 1603-1651, Father of Ots-Toch and Interpreter o Samuel de Champlain REVISED EDITION Ever since the publication of my first Van Slyke Family in America ook in 1996, I have been continuing my research on this family. A few ears ago I found a court record in New Netherland where Cornelis Van lyke wrote about the death of a man in Breuckelen Netherlands. ornelis referred to the deceased man as his brother and asked if he as in the will. This exciting discovery spurred me to hire a Dutch esearcher to search the Breuckelen and Nijenrode archives for more etails. His findings are presented in this Revised Edition. The Van Slyke Family in America, Revised Edition, discusses Cornelise ntonissen Van Slyke born in Brueckelen, Netherlands in 1604 and his ohawk-French wife Ots-Toch born ca 1620 at Canajoharie, New York. ornelis came to the New World in May of 1634, settling at Beverwyck nd then Schenectady, New York. Cornelis was known by several names, aking research on him somewhat complicated, but not impossible. Cornelis Van Slyke's story is of a Dutchman who came to the New World s a carpenter at the age of 30, who became an interpreter for the ohawk nation, was adopted into the tribe, and who met and married a rench-Mohawk woman (Ots-Toch)who never left her native village. Their hildren, all raised at Canajoharie, one of the Mohawk castles or illages, became well-known and respected in the Dutch community. All xcept one left the village and married Dutch settlers. In the Revised Edition, new findings on the Van Slyke amily in Breuckelen are revealed. New facts are added to he descendant genealogies and a few errors from the first ook are corrected. More sources have been added and there s more detail about individuals included. There are 1,342 ootnoted sources for the facts contained in this 287 page ook. http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/store/order-books.shtml ill take those interested directly to an order form Lorine - ollow my genealogy updates on Twitter ttp://twitter.com/LorineMS Olive Tree Genealogy ttp://olivetreegenealogy.com ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message
