NYDUTCH Listers, I disagree with Jean that 99% of queries are about the Dutch who arrived in the 1600's. That's because there never was a list to address those of us who had ancestors arrive in the 1800's. Now that this list is in existence, it will get many queries as people find out that it is here. I have colonial Dutch too, but that list doesn't help me with my later arrivals. Let's hear a cheer for the NYDUTCH list. After all, NEW AMSTERDAM was the name of the early Dutch colony, while NEW YORK was what it was called after the English took over and it became an English possession. So keep it NYDUTCH.
