Geldersche Blom

New Netherland Ships Passenger Lists Project
I've started reconstructing ships' passenger lists from various source (see below for details) and will be providing these lists online as I complete them. In some cases, I've been able to reconstruct names for a ship list that has never been published before! In other cases, I've been able to add names to previously published lists. This is an Olive Tree exclusive.

This is a huge project, one I am working on alone, and I will complete it as time permits. If you would like to help Olive Tree bring such databases to the Internet for all to use FREELY, please read about the two ways you can help. With a little expenditure of time or money on your part, you can help make this project (and others) a reality.

Lorine's Research Notes With Sources: I reconstructed the names of those sailing on various ships from the following sources. Please note that not every source was used to reconstruct every ship. I have indicated which sources were used for each individual:

  1. Abstracts from Notarial Documents in the Amsterdam Archives by Pim Nieuwenhuis published in New Netherland Connections in series Vol. 4:3,4; Vol. 5:1-3 (hereafter NNC)
  2. Early Immigrants to New Netherland 1657-1664 from The Documentary History of New York (hereafter EINN)
  3. Settlers of Rensselaerswyck 1630-1658 in Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (hereafter VRB)
  4. E. B. O'Callaghan's Calendar of Historical Manuscripts in the Office of the Secretary of State, Albany NY (hereafter CHM)
  5. New World Immigrants: List of Passengers 1654 to 1664 edited by Michael Tepper (hereafter NWI)
  6. Emigrants to New Netherland by Rosalie Fellows Bailey, , NYGBR; vol 94 no 4 pp 193-200 (hereafter ENN)
  7. De Scheepvaart en handel van de Nederlandse Republiek op Nieuw-Nederland 1609-1675 unpublished thesis by Jaap Jacobs [hereafter JJ][Olive Tree Genealogy database]
  8. The records of New Amsterdam from 1653 to 1674 [hereafter RNA] [an online book from Ancestry.com]

Three names have been found travelling to New Netherland on board Geldersche Blom in 1656.

Robbrecht Roelants Berlyn, born in Bergen op Zoom
Willem Abrahamsz van der Borde
Abraham Jansz van der Heul, from 't Zuidland [Lorine's note: He married Tryntje Kip in 1659]

This joint venture was registrated on 23 november 1656. Source: Notary archives of the city archives of Rotterdam

Robbrecht Roelants Berlyn, geboortig uit Bergen op Zoom; Willem Abrahamsz van der Borde; en Abraham Jansz van der Heul, uit 't Zuidland sluiten een overeenkomst voor gezamenlijke uitoefening van hun ambacht van huistimmerman in Nieuw Nederland. De goederen die ze mee zullen nemen zullen ze voor eigen winst aldaar verkopen. Inkomsten van hun ambacht zullen gemeenschappelijk zijn (elk 1/3e); uitgaven in geval van ziekte etc. zullen gezamenlijk gedragen worden. Ze zullen met het schip "de Geldersche Blom" van schipper Symen Claesz, vertrekken

Translation: Robbrecht Roelants Berlyn, born in Bergen op Zoom; Willem Abrahamsz van der Borde; en Abraham Jansz van der Heul, from 't Zuidland are closing an agreement for for a joint venture of house-carpentry in New Netherlands. The goods they will carry with them shall be sold for their own profit there. Gainings from their trade shall be for all (each one third) . Expenditures in case of sickness etc. shall be for all.

5-Step Search for Your Immigrant Ancestor in North America

Step 1: First search for your immigrant ancestor in the five major ports of arrival - New York New York, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Baltimore Maryland, Boston Massachusetts and New Orleans Louisiana

Naturalization Records are a great way to find an ancestor's arrival year and ship name!

Step 2: If you don't find your immigrant ancestor in a large port city, try smaller ports of arrival - Virginia, Connecticut, Delaware, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Maine, Rhode Island, Florida, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Michigan, Alaska, California, Hawaii and Washington

Step 3: Still can't find your immigrant ancestor on an American ships passenger list? Try a Canadian Port of Arrival and the Canada-U.S. border crossing records (Saint Albans Lists).

Step 4: If you still can't find your ancestor in free ships passenger lists, try ships passenger lists and naturalization records on a pay site. See the Immigration Comparison Chart to help you decide which of the fee-based sites has the passenger lists you need to find your immigrant ancestor

Step 5: Search for ships passengers in Ethnic Groups immigrating to America, other miscellaneous ports of arrival, Ships Passenger Lists on NARA microfilm, J.J. Cooke Shipping Agent Records, Castle Garden New York Ships Passenger Lists 1855-1890, Ellis Island New York Ships Passenger Lists 1894-1927 & Naturalization Records
