Are any of you descended from Jan Gerritsen who became Garreson and added "van der Hof" to his name, following the naturalization ceremonies in the state of Delaware as shown in "List from Records of the Court of New Castle," vol.II, 1681-1699? It lists the name as Jan Garretsen verHof. Some people believe he was the son of Garret Jansen and Lysbeth Hendriksen..and brother of Paul and Hendrik Gerritsen who arrived with their mother in New Castle, Delaware in 1622. If you are descended from Jan I'd love to "talk" to you! Marti
