Hello, all: How can I view original (or credible images of original) NY RDC baptism records? In particular, I'm looking for children of Johannes Karbile/Carbile/Kerfbyl and Margrietje Provoost on 28 Dec 1718 and 23 Mar 1721. Three known transcriptions give varying combinations of these: Olive Tree Genealogy (http://olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/church/rdcbapt.shtml) shows the 1718 child as "Joannes" and the 1721 child as "Jonathan". Long Island Genealogy (http://longislandgenealogy.com/baptisms/baps.html) shows the 1718 child as "Johannes" (with an "h") and the 1721 child as "Jonathan". An 1895 book (Provost, Andrew J., *Biographical and Genealogical Notes of the Provost Family from 1545 to 1895. New York: unknown, 1895, 159 Pages.) *shows the 1718 child as "Joannes" and the 1721 child as "Johannes" (rather than "Jonathan"). I looked for a microfilm on the LDS website, but unless I missed it, the only film with images of baptisms ends in 1697. To my surprise, the others appear to be transcriptions. Chris

Try : Low Dutch: When you get that, you will find Dutch births and marriages for many years. Hopefully you will find yours.
