This is exciting news, and will provide another important document for all of us, but especially for those of us who descend from the Dutch who were in Brazil. As always, Cor, wonderful work, and much appreciated! I shall look forward to hearing more as it becomes available. Bryce Stevens Hello Jim and Chris, I have transcribed the document and it's a financial settlement the WIC had for it's investors and shareholders, because their financial situation was rather poor due to the war in Brasil and other events. They probably did sent a clerk to all the residences of those who invested, that would explain all the different kinds of ink and pens. If you're interested I could translate it, but I now started deciphering all the names and signatures. That is interesting to me.
