(Vorhees transcription omits the surnames "Terhunen" and "van Vorhees" from the entry. on p. 413) >>>>>> Actually, Vorhees did not OMIT the surnames. Rather, he made an accurate transcription/translation of the Flatbush records, and in this case, the baptismal record simply did not include those surnames. His transcription reads, on page 413: * Flatbush Church Records. David Vorhees. Holland Society. 18 Dec [1681]; Child, Gesbrechtje; parents, Klaas Jansz Romeijn and Stijntje Alberts; witnesses, Albert Albertsz and Hendrikje Stephens. It was Henry Onderdonk, who did the original transcription for the Holland Society Yearbook in 1898 and he ADDED the surnames. That is one of the main reasons why the Onderdonk version, which Bob Billard has on his website, is considered to be in error and should only be used with caution. Hope this helps, Regards, Pam Sears
