Hi all, I was reading The Van Voorhees Family in America and on page 733 I found the following: 6857. ii. Gitty Voorhis; born circa 1817; married Edw. Hedden. The book ended in the 3000's. Has anyone a copy of the 7th and 8th generation (mentioning #6857) or 9th CD? I'm trying to find out who their children were. I think one may be Mary Hedden (1842-1914) married to Joseph Vail Ash (1840-1934). The census of 1900 Newark Ward 9, Essex, NJ shows a Gertrude Hedden living w Joseph V Ash (as his mother in law) and Mary E Ash. This is assuming Gitty is a nickname for Gertrude. Maybe short for Geertje, generation 6. She was known as Charity according to the book. Anyone know what church Gitty and Edward were part of?

Today there is a terrific rticle, listed below. Joe Mozingo, a while journalist, traced his linage to a lack African in Virginia, quite a surprise as they thought they were Italian or generations or what ever. He did a superior job of writing this article hich comes in three parts, along with photographs and a slide show. While onzingo is not Dutch, it is however a story that well could be and most likely ould be Dutch as we know our Dutch ancestors did have slaves. Moving into the uture, I believe that we are going to discover that there will be more tracings ot just from black to white but also white to black and all mixes in between. f you don't have access to this paper, let me know and they have an emailing ervice and I can arrange to have the article emailed to you, hopefully.
