Hello Bill, Cor: I have a Willem R. Waldron b: 10 Feb 1646 in Amsterdam, Holland. The > source was: The Recorder - Catskill, New York newspaper. I don't have any > other information on him. I have some Waldron's married into my family line. > That Willem is the son of Resolved Waldron, but I think the date is wrong. Willem was baptized in the Nieuwe Kerk on 28 October 1646 (file DTB43p21), sponsor was Henrickje Henrix. The difference between the date of birth and the baptism is highly unlikely; most children were baptized within a few days, sometimes even on the day they were born.
