I believe that both our Sara Theunis (de Piers, Peers, Pers) and Jan Dircksen Van Arnhem were likely cousins and I think our Van Norman family may have originally been known as Van Naerden. Everything is pointing in this direction to me. Look at the names below and remember the witness on the birth records of their children. I really believe that we arrived in the late 1630's. Is anyone else seeing what I am pointing out? This is it folks!
