Hi This is a needle in the haystack question. I have been researching Van Buskirks for many years. I recently came across 3 separate couples, all in the 1700s in New Jersey. 1) Antje Van Buskirk m, David Van Norden son of Adam Van Norden and ??? Slot. 2) Jannetje or Joanna Van Buskrik m Peter Van Orden son of Adam Van Orden and Volketje Slot (sounds like the same family, different spelling) and a John Van Busirk m Dorothy Van Norden -no spedcific ID. I hope that someone has the early data on this family thatmwill connect the dots. These could also solve connetions to Van Buskirks, Demasrest. Banta, Westervelt, etc families in that area I have more specific dates, and a some clues -like a jig saw puzzle with one large piece missing, that perhaps you may have. thank you!

Dear John, If you have been researching the Van Buskirk family for many years, you are probably aware of the massive, two-volume work published in 1990 on this family by Irene English Shoemaker. It is titled, "Van Buskirk, a Genealogy". On page 1090 of volume 2 she says of your first couple of interest: "Pieter Van Orden Born 12 July 1707 Married 18 April 1734 at New York Lutheran Church Parents: Adam Van Orden and Volkertje Slot Jannetje (Janje, Johanna) Van Buskirk (Major Thomas-2, Laurens A.-1) Born Decemebr 1705 Baptized 17 November 1706 at Hackensack, NJ Parents: Major Thomas Van Buskirk and Margrietje Brickers Issue of Pieter Van Orden and Jannetje Van Buskirk: Adam, born 3 March 1735 Jon P., born 18 September 1741" For your last couple of interest, see page 1604 of Volume 2: "John Van Buskirk Married 30 June 1760, license issued at Hackensack, NJ Dorothy Van Norden Born about 1740 Issue of John Van Buskirk and Dorothy Van Norden: 1) Theodosia, born about 1761 at Elizabeth, NJ. Married 1) Simon Banta and 2) John Pullis 2) Lawrence, born 13 January 1764; died 20 May 1844. Married 1) Elizabeth Banta and 2) Violetta Van Horn 3) John, married Elsie _____. Moved to Pennsylvania in 1817. 4) Gabriel, born 1722, died in Liverpool, England, 17 March 1818, age 46 years 5) William, blacksmith in New York City Information on this line was contributed by Carl Kuesthardt, New York City, from records of Anita Van Buskirk Kuesthardt, deceased." I hope this helps fill out your jigsaw puzzle a bit :-). Dorothy >Hi This is a needle in the haystack question. I have been >researching Van Buskirks for many years.

Hi Yes I have Mrs Shoemakers book, and I did correspond withn her nmanyyears while we were both collecting data. I was checking one line for another Vqn Buskirk deescendant, when I rea;ized thre were 3 separate Van Orden / Van Norden connedtions. My appeal was really to someone with Van Orden records-perhaps they would have a reference to Dorothy identifying who that John was (it is in the stray, or unplaced section) I said it was a needle in a haystack queriy, a new attempt to place one more stray family. The names of John and Dorothy's children are similar to those in the family of Antje Van Buskirk m David Van Norden. Since her brother was one of those who left for Canada, there could be another brothe or nephew in he line so far undetected. I was hoping there might be a lead to open a new avenue for research. I had most of my success in pre computer days checking all if the inlaw families Allied Families sections of genealogies etc. I had not looked for Van Orden before, I note the Slot spouse as another target to check out. I know about the Dutch naming pattern of children for grandparents or near relatrives. It does not always work, but it is a lead worth pursuing. The name of David Van Orden, made me think of the Demarests affinity for that name. I found several Slot - Demarest marriages in my file. I was looking to connect the dots. It is circumstantial evidence so far, was hoping to someone could supply the missing link. I asm always happy to share the datta I have, I do get queries from Van Buskirks, and try hard to match the line they have to families that are traced in Mrs Shoemakes book, and a few lines I can add or adjust at times, that she did not find. Several of her stray families seem close to matching traced lines with probably a single generation missing. As you know this research is never done, there is always more to be found. Thank you for your help, and twor three other replies I have had today JOHN C VAN BUSKIRK http://www.geocities.com/vanbus1/ jvanbus1@twcny.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Koenig" <dkoenig@lmi.net> To: <dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [DUTCH-COLONIES] Van Buskirk, Van Orden Van Norden > Dear John, If you have been researching the Van Buskirk family for > many years, you are probably aware of the massive, two-volume work > published in 1990 on this family by Irene English Shoemaker.
