It’s time to register!
| Hello Cousins! The time is drawing near to get in your DC Gathering registration forms and payments in….. We are hoping to have a great turnout this year since we had to postpone last year’s gathering. We have missed all of our regular attendees and are hoping to meet many new ones this year. Our committee members have been working hard to get this event going and we really think you will thoroughly enjoy it! Last year we had to postpone our bi-annual gathering because of Covid and this year we know ‘inflation’ has hit hard….but we’re ready to get out and enjoy some family, friends and fellowship with our dear cousins from all over the United States. So far, we have cousins coming from AZ, UT, NM, SC, TX, IN & KY just waiting to see you! So hop to it…..get in your registration forms and payments, as soon as possible!! The sooner the better because it will help us with how many to plan for. Our count is very important at this time. It will determine if we have our gathering or need to postpone it again. The Harold R. Benson Research Farm venue in Frankfort, Kentucky is large and we want to fill it up with all the Genealogy heritage tables, Silent Auction items, delicious catered meals, speakers and of course, all of you! So send in your forms and payments today! For more details on our DC gathering, such as directions, Brochure, speakers, T-shirts, Registration forms, Old Mud and much more, please look at www.dutchcousins.org Thank you! Blessings to all, Janice Cozine DC Treasurer & Registration Chair |

The St Martin was a captured Spanish sugar hauling caravel ( think of the ‘Nina’ and the ‘Pinta’ – the smallest of Christopher Columbus’ ships) of about 50 tons, 70 ft long and was unlikely to carry many , if any, passengers. Just what size ship the ‘Gelderlant’ was is not known as no further records of her are found at the Amsterdam Maritime Museum…… Up until 1640 only two or three ships per year made the voyage. Maybe someone with more computer skills can access the site given and share any finds. ——————————————————————————————————————————- Judy Cassidy wrote: While Eddie Rice can probably direct members to the right person Arthur Weaners nephew has taken over the Trust along with the Bank in Gettysburg. I thought I had sent you this info and I believe I posted it both on Dutch Cousins as well as Vanarsdale Families and the Banta site. If you find you don’t have Alan Weaners email or cell let me know. ——————————————————————————————————————————- J. Michael (Schmermund) Lloyd wrote: I was introduced to the “Dutch Cousins” by the late Carolyn Leonard. I’ve been involved in a 2 year research into the Bercaw family of Adam, Pennsylvania. I recently found an update of the family history prior to the family coming to New York. Its amazing “update” to the book ” Our Brokaw- Bragaw Heritage” and a perfect compliment to the update I did on the American history for this family. Is there a place I can send more info on this record? ——————————————————————————————————————————- CLICK ON FORMS BELOW TO PRINT   Copyright © 2022 Dutch Cousins, All rights reserved. |
