Lisa, You are fortunate that Abraham married Anna Covenhoven. As you know his brother only married ladies with English ancestors. Actually, I had not read your message before I wrote mine. My research partner for the Van Horne surname forwarded your message to me, and I received it after I sent my message. I am currently in SLC doing research, and I spent the whole day trying to find the oldest copies of the church records where the Cornelissen, Van Horne and Evertsen vital events were recorded. I copies all these records several years ago, but seem to have misplaced them when I moved. I was hoping to replace them. I also noticed the RDC records formerly available on Donna Ristenbatt's website are no longer there. I have been wondering if the RDC has made everyone remove the records for reasons of copyright, or whatever. Can anyone comment on this? Marleen Van Horne

What records, which church? Could it have just been a link to another site? Perhaps Ted Brassards? He died several years ago and his site probably doesn't exist anymore. Most of the NA/NY RDC records are available at several other sites. Regards, Howard hswain@ix.netcom.com

Howard, I think you put your finger on the problem. Thanks, Marleen

Was Maria BADIE b. ca 1608, wife of Jacob VERDON, born in the Netherlands? Lisa >

Hello Lisa, According to www.familysearch.org Mary Baddie was born about 1608 in Utrecht, Netherlands. This would be from their Pedigree Chart section. William Henry Roll has her birth at 1605. I am not this far in my own research to be able to give you a firm opinion, I am only as far back as Magdelena Verdon, her daughter. Given the fact that Thomas Baddie was the Treasurer of the Dutch West Indies Company, this tells me his kids "should' be born in Netherlands, unless he was working at some other location, and then they could be born anywhere. Mary Baddie's mother was Alten Braconie, according to the LDS website, both Thomas Baddie and his wife were born in Netherlands. That is as much help as I have personally to give, this generation is a bit further back in time that I have had time to personally work on. I have been glad just to find my immigrant ancestors. I will need more time to push further back. But I am sure there are other researchers on this list who have more information than me and can offer their opinions as well. Best regards, Lilly Martin, researching all the descendants of Adam Brouwer b. 1620, m. Magdalena Verdon, d/o Jacob. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa" <lisarps@gmail.com> To: <dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2007 5:54 AM Subject: [DUTCH-COLONIES] Maria Badie > Was Maria BADIE b. ca 1608, wife of Jacob VERDON, born in the Netherlands? > > Lisa > > >> > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > DUTCH-COLONIES-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
