It looks like the names are actual signatures of these people as from the variance in the handwriting. Does anyone recognize any of the names and signatures? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [DUTCH-COLONIES] [NEW-NETHERLAND] What is this WIC document From: Chris Brooks <[1]brookskcmo@gmail.com> Date: Tue, July 09, 2013 7:32 pm To: New-Netherland <[2]new-netherland@rootsweb.com> Cc: [3]dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com I looked closer at page one and find two dates: opten eersten dach van Mei deses jaers xvi sestenviftich or the first day of May the year 1650 and ten Tienden februarij des jaers Sestenviftich or the tenth February 1650 I think the first date is probably the date it was documented in Amsterdam and the second one in May the day it was announced or registered in Brazil. I've only looked at the dates so far so other than seeing references to the Directors of the West India Company and Amsterdam, I'm not sure what the document is about.
