Hi I haven't given this list my story yet. I started about age 14 to ask questions after our famly reunion of Van Buskirks who are all these people, how are they related. Of course we were aware of the Dutch heritage in the name. By the time I graduated highjschool in 1954 I had compiled the record of my local family which included a number of families that had arrived in the local Tully / Preble NY area about1800 from Coxsackie area, all colonial lines. While we thought they were all Dutch, I found that we were very international. Some Dutch, but some Danish, Belgian, French, Norwgian, =since All of the German area was indepenent city or provincial states, there were many nationalities. I also found many overlapping lines. I recently tried to add them up, and at the 10 generation level I have 39 cases of overlapping families. Hallenbeck 6 times Klauw, Van Hoesen, Van Vechten, Conine/Conyn , VanAllen, Van Alstyne 3 times and many more just twice. even my Mothers Engtlish lines incluced one Van Deusen, and it turned out she was a 6th cousin to my Dad. My website is set up to show many of these connedctions, and the names I found in my family tree over the past 57 years. Since joining this list in 1999 I have learned a lot more on many of these lines. I am always looking for and happy to share data with potential cousins in all of my lines.
