Thank you for writing to all these people I researched with. I am sorry to know that Evelyn is not able to work with it anymore. I appreciate you giving Janis my address to get in contact with me. I let the genealogy slide for a few years and it looks like the rest of them did too. The Margrietje who married Joseph Da La Meritague was the 4th child of Johannes Pieter Roll & Jannietje Duchene. They were married 03/02/1728 Reformed Dutch Church, N.Y. The reason I am certain of this is because I made the mistake of recording it as Margrietje, daughter of Mangel Jansen & Annetje Hendriex Volcx and since I have the original page, I used whiteout to cover it up. It still shows through and shows my mistake. I have seen all these marriages and names you are including in your letters but, to the best of my knowledge, none of us recorded anything unless we were certain. I only have two children listed for Jan Roll & Aaltje Bas. In both cases, it listed the parents names. Some of it is not in our research because we could not give concrete proof. Our research is not always documented because I didn't know how to document every name and date. I don't know which one of us recorded John & Mary Nevis as child of Jan & Aaltje Bas, but I believe it to be true. No one else recorded anything by assumption. Mary's father was James Nevis and he was a ship's captain and Johannes Roll was a passenger on that list. I wish I had been a better organizer. I don't have anything organized except for the notebooks. I can't remember what I did yesterday but I remember the records and the details very well. I also have the name of the ship and the passenger list SOMEWHERE. This is why we decided that the descendants of Jan Mangelese continued in the trading business. They had to return to their homeland for wares. Martha
