BOOK - Names, Names and More Names: Locating your Dutch Ancestors in Colonial America
by Arthur C.M. Kelly Anyone who has spent time researching an immigrant family line knows that foreign surnames often suffered alteration becuase of a lack of understanding on the part of the scribe. Whether it was a government official taking a census, a clergyman reporting a birth, baptism or marriage, or even the immigrant himself, names like Makentews and Oculi suddenly became Macintosh and Oakley. Such inaccuracies can obviously thwart a researchers' best efforts to document his or her ancestry. This book is the result of more than thirty years of research of the Dutch patronymic naming system. In this valuable reference work, author Arthur C.M. Kelly provides a comprehensive treatment of Dutch patryonymic surnames, their variations and origins - with the intention of breaking down the brick walls caused by innacurate reporting of Dutch immigrant names. Divided into three sections, the book details essential information and provides informative tables on surnames, given names, and father and mother pairs. Also included is a discussion on the evolution of names and naming, as well as a guide to understanding surnames. This book is an essential reference for any researcher focused on Dutch family history. 343 pgs., Soft Cover, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN 0-916489-91-4.
