Hi everyone, We've identified Cornelia Maas, born about 1675, who married Johannes Holsaert II and Rutgert Waldron in the New York Dutch church. I have a web page online now which gives details of four generations of her ancestors, several of whom lived in Amsterdam. There is a good amount of new information here. Hulsart and Hulst descendants, Waldron researchers, and certain Bennet and Emans/Emmons descendants will want to have a look. Shahaan descendants, certain Romeyn descendants, some Thomas/Thomaszen researchers, and certain Tobias researchers will also want to see. Cornelia Maas' ancestors include: * Thomas Franszen of England, who married two Dutch wives in New Amsterdam. * Urbanus Luursen, a master mason, who owned several properties in Amsterdam including three in a row, two of which he built. He was drowned in the Prinses Amelia shipwreck of 1647. His wife was Jannetje Claes of Amsterdam, who married twice more after his death. As noted below, this Jannetje Claes in New Amsterdam - NY records was most often known as Jannetje 'Boonen'. * Claes Arents, a butcher who lived in the Kalverstraat in Amsterdam, and his wife Beatrix Hermans, of (probably) Veere, Zeeland. In this article, I have an image of the beautiful and rare signature of Johannes Holsaert I, Cornelia Maas' father-in-law. He was the town clerk of Flatlands for only a few years before he died there in 1687. He is the forefather of the Hulsart and Hulst families of New York, New Jersey, and beyond. A significant side effect of this research provided the correct identification of Jannetje "Boonen", whose name appears several times in New Amsterdam / NY church records and in the Orphanmasters records of New Amsterdam. She was Jannetje Claes, baptized in 1619 in Amsterdam. The surname she was ususally known by in New Amsterdam was dervied from her first husband's first name. Another result of this effort was the identification of Rutgert Waldron's so-called daughter Anna Holseart, mentioned in his 1720 will as one of his seven children. But there is no space in his two marriages for a daughter Ann to have been born and to have married a Holseart man by 1720. This Anna Holseart was his step-daughter, a child of his second wife's first marriage. This article was made possible by the collaborative effort of several people, whose input, contributions and suggestions were invaluable in sorting out these families. I thank these persons in the article. Here also I would like to thank the invisible Roberto (whoever he is), the senior website technician who maintains the Stadsarchief Amstersam databases.
