A few years ago my aunt (daughter of Forest) gave me a very precise documentation of our lineage which dates back to the 15th century when the English took New Amsterdam from the Dutch. According to this document it is likely that our ancestor was one of the 20 to take the territory from the Dutch. If you would like I may be able to scan and send you these documents. -Kalie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
