Dear List, I am trying to verify the baptism of Samuel Demarest on 12 Oct. 1746 at RDC Schraalenburgh, the son of David Demarest and Catherina VanHouten. Can anyone give me a reference for Schraalenburgh baptism records? I am trying to verify dates published in both the 1938 and 1964 versions of The Demarest Family. Regards, Larry Voreis

Larry, The date is correct. Samuel DEMARESTand his twin, 'Margrietjin' were baptised 12 Oct 1746 in the Schraalenburgh Reformed Church. Parents recorded as David DEMAREST and Catrina VAN HOUTEN. Witnesses Hillebrant LIZIER and wife, for Samuel. Witnesses Theunis VAN HOUTEN and wife, for Margrietjin. (caps. mine) "Records of the Reformed Dutch Churches of Hackensack and Schraalenburgh, New Jersey" Part II, c. 1891 The Holland Society, 1998 reprint by Bergen Historic Books, page 101. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Voreis Date: Sunday, April 29, 2007 3:15 pm Subject: [DUTCH-COLONIES] Samuel Demarest (1746-1811) To: Dutch Colonies List > Dear List, > > I am trying to verify the baptism of Samuel Demarest on 12 Oct. > 1746 at RDC Schraalenburgh, the son of David Demarest and > Catherina VanHouten.
