Hi Sandra, You will find some information on Jan Dirksen Van Arnhem at http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi If you enter his name and a 1640 birthdate you will see him listed 6 times. There is also information about the Van Arnhem family in Jonathan Pearson's Albany book. If I knew the names of Hester Fonda's parents, I coud probably give you the Fonda line back to 1500. Hester married Jan Janse Van Arnhem, a son of Jan Dirksen. Richard
