Thanks so VERY much Dorothy. Big sigh of relief here!!! Cynthia In a message dated 4/1/2007 12:21:47 PM Mountain Daylight Time, dkoenig@LMI.net writes: Dear Cynthia, On page 218 of "Old First Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn, New York: First Book of Records, 1660-1752" the banns between "Abram Pietersen Lot and Geertje Jans Dorlant" are, indeed, given for 2 August 1695, just as you say. On page 451 of the "Flatbush Church Records", edited by David William Voorhees, "Abram Lot and Geertie Lot" had a child baptized on 31 October 1697. The name of the child was not recorded! The sponsors were "Piter Lot and Geertruy". It appears to me that Claesje Langestraet was not Abram Pieter Lot's first wife (as claimed by Mr. Phillips).
