    All of the above records, (with the exception of record Number 7 of the GAA Notarial Records, which was uncovered by me with the help of Dr. Charles T. Gehring of the New Netherland Project), were discovered through the diligence and hard work of Koen Wijnkoop, [email protected], of Luxembourg. He provided the translations for most of the above records as well, thus easing the burden of understanding placed on Dutch-impaired Americans like me. Koen very graciously sent me a photocopy of the March 20, 1651 contract for which I would like to publicly thank him. Without his interest and efforts the above inventory would be very short indeed.
    I would like to add to this inventory, so if more records come to light in the course of further research by family members both here and in Europe, I would appreciate it if you would contact me at [email protected] with the additional information. As always, I will be more than happy to give credit where credit is due.
