To all interested Woolsey Researchers: I have been spending some time researching the Dutch West Indies Company and records in New Amsterdam concerning the Dutch before 1664 (the date the English "captured" New Amsterdam (New York) from the Dutch. I found reference to a thesis by Jaaps Jacobs of old Amsterdam, Holland, in which he named the ships coming from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam. Finally, found him at a museum in Amsterdam and then found his lists on-line. He's working on a larger work to encompass shipping lists, etc. I found the following in the Museum of Shipping in Amsterdam: !ON-LINE: Scheepvaartmuseum Amsterdam : Mi-94-0329. Henry WOLSEY BAYFIELD Sailing directions for the Gulf and River of St. Lawrence. 1837. Hydrographic Office, Admiralty. London, England. English language. Pagination VIII, 276 p. : 25 cm. Inventory No. 1993.2024. Navigation. Previously I had found the following reference: !ON-LINE: Rootsweb.com 29 Mar 2000. CEMETERIES. Old Protestant Burying Ground, Elm Ave Cemetery, Prince Edward Island. (Canada) Capt. Henry Wolsey Bayfield - Hydrographic Survey. [n.d.] Probably no connection, but just shows what happens when one keeps turning over "rocks" and keeps looking. Those ship lists are good, but unfortunately, they seldom include the names of the passengers. They give the name of the ship and the captain, the date sailed from Amsterdam and arrived in New Amsterdam, with the notation only of a number of "freights" (passengers), like "30 passengers", etc. Well, I'll keep looking. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
