This list, run by me (Lorine), is for historical and genealogical discussion of New Netherland Colony. The first European settlements in the States of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania were built by the Dutch beginning in 1624 and formed the Dutch colony of New Netherland, or Nieuw Nederlandt. New Netherland was settled in 1624 by the Dutch but was a multi-cultural colony. Anyone with an interest in, or ancestors from, New Netherland is welcome!

New Netherland Mailing List Searchable Archives

Do's & Dont's

• Use a meaningful subject line such as "Looking for Cornelis Antonissen Van Slyke 1600s Albany area" rather than a vague subject line such as "My list of ancestors"
• Do STAY ON TOPIC! Make sure your query is about historical or genealogical New York or New Jersey and its settlers
• Do include dates and locations with your query. The more information you provide, the more chance other subscribers will be able to assist you.
• Please provide your sources for your information, both in your queries and in your answers on the list. Remember, providing sources allows others to verify the information given.
• Be polite to other subscribers. Flames (personal attacks on others) will not be tolerated. Threats or intimidation will result in a permanent ban from the list

DON'T

• Do not forward spam, chain letters, virus warnings or hoaxes to the list. Chain letters, virus warnings and hoaxes clog the server. Anyone spamming will be immediately banned.
• Do not get involved in any public disputes or flame wars. Do not take matters into your own hands if you think someone has been abusive. Report the matter to the listowner if you feel you must but rest assured that I read EVERY post sent and I will deal with inappropriate posts in private email.
• Do not send attachments. Many of our subscribers are using software that cannot read attachments.
• Don't start a meaningless ROLL CALL (a list of surnames with no details) on the list.
