Dorothy Koenig's invaluable contributions to Low Dutch genealogy and New Netherland scholarship will live on far past the lives of all of us and will be treasured by many future generations who will carry forward the quest for knowledge. A big, hearty "dank U wel," Dorothy! Back in the 1940s, when I first began writing, about "The Influence of Dutch Settlement on American Civilization," there was precious little reference material to be had, at least in my area. Today, it is gratifying to know that, thanks to the efforts of Dorothy Koenig and others, there is a wealth of material available, and even more to be mined as projects to translate Dutch colonial documents are carried forward. We can all be proud of the now prominent place of New Netherland and its settlers in American history, and the ever expanding contributions to Low Dutch scholarship.
