Thanks, Sam. I'll have to take a look, that's a new one to me. May add another branch to my Waldron Tree which already lists 13,223 people and 4,412 marriages. I try to find at least 2 reference sources for each individual. Riker/Toler were pretty accurate for the most part, confirmed thru land deeds, tax records, etc. The original immigrants Joseph and Resolved Waldron are both pretty well documented in Holland marriage records of the Dutch Reformed Church, the Dutch West Indian Co. where Joseph was a 'Butler' at their New Amsterdam Fort, in charge of arms, powder & shot, and Resolved was a 'Shout' or sheriff under Peter Stuyvesant and later a Magistrate in the town of New Haarlem. ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Ferguson" <samf1@farm-market.net> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 31, 2010 11:06 PM Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Riker's > Another Riker book, "The Annals of Newtown, in Queens County, New York", > dated 1852, can also be downloaded from Google Books.

Have any of you folks been watching the Jacob Leisler project on Facebook? Really fascinating account of early New Amsterdam. I think you'd love it Ron and Jim!
