Help! I'm so confused and I'm hoping a Colonial history person can help me.... As I'm reading through the Colonial history of Bergen (now Hudson County) I see a variety of names used to describe a place. If the records indicate the person lived in Communipaw between 1646 - 1655 would I document Village of Communipaw, Pavonia, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or Village of Communipaw, Bergen, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or Village of Communipaw, Pavonia, Bergen, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or something else? If the records indicate the person lived in Gamoenepa between 1646 -1655 would I document Road District Gamoenepa, Village of Communipaw, Pavonia, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or Road District Gamoenepa, Village of Communipaw, Bergen, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or Road District Gamoenepa, Village of Communipaw, Pavonia, Bergen, New Amsterdam, New Netherland or something else? How about these same places after September 5, 1661 when the Village of Bergen was christened? How about these same after April 7, 1668 when the Town of Bergen was granted charter? Does anyone know of a accurate straight forward list with just dates and names of places as they changed? Thanks Penny
