Hi Karen You say you have a copy of Knittle. I use the reproduction on Geocities (AJBerry), but it only gives one of the Board of Trade lists for 1709. Does the book give them all (four, I believe)? And does it include the details, such as ages, children, occupation, place of origin, religion, etc? I am very keen to acquire this information and, indeed, anything else that is not posted on the extremely generous Fort Klock website, but which might be in the book. Good to have another fellow Palatine in this inspiring community. I have some details on Thomas Ruttle (the 20th Century one who married a Bovenizer, sister to one of my second-hand relatives). If it fills a gap in your overall structure, do let me know. Terry Pyper (Lincs UK)

Terry, I believe that the transcription of Knittle on the Fort Klock Site is complete http://www.geocities.com/ajberry29/knittle.htm In The appendix for the First Board of Trade List Knittle States : "Only the first of the four Board of Trade Lists (that of May 6, 1709) is included here because that group of 825 persons is unmentioned in the Embarkation Lists from Holland, which are here given in Appendix C" but he also mentions other places where the Lists have beeen reproduced : "They have been published without change in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Records (New York, 1909 and 1910), XL, 49-54, 93-100, 160-167, 241-248; XLI, 10-19. They are also published in L. D. MacWethy, The Book of Names especially Relating to the Early Palatines and the First Settlers in the Mohawk Valley (St. Johnsville, New York, 1933) in an alphabetical order and an abridged form. In the latter version there are errors, which are excusable because of the nature of the material but the bad alphabetizing of the names is not to be regarded so lightly."
