Dear Harry, Harman, and other Hoagland and/or Stryker Cousins, We have just launched our new HOAGLAND website "The Ancestors of Maria Hoagland" at: http://www.stipak.com/hoagland/maria/MariaHoagland.HTM It is a memorial website and ongoing genealogy research project for Maria "Polly" HOAGLAND, my 3rd great-grandmother. Born and raised in Somerset County, New Jersey in the late 1700's, Maria married another Dutch American, John D. STRYKER, in about 1803, and with him continued until her death to reside in Somerset County and to bear and raise their eight children. Her parents are Christopher HOAGLAND and Maria BERGEN, her grandparents are Christopher HOAGLAND and Neltje VAN VOORHEES, her great-grandparents are Harmanus HOOGLANDT and Adriana STOOTHOFF, and her great-great-grandparents are Christoffel HOOGLANDT and Catrina CREGIER. Please visit our family website if you have time! We will be working on it and updating it often in the coming weeks and months, and welcome your input and suggestions. We always are eager to meet and exchange research with our cousins! Best Wishes, Alice __________________________________________ Alice Imig Stipak, San Jose, California www.stipak.com Researching Sarah Boone and John Willcockson Researching Hageman and other early Dutch settlers in: New York; Somerset County, New Jersey; Fulton County, Illinois; Seward County, Nebraska __________________________________________ "We look back and see within, feel grateful, and grow"
