New Amsterdam Family Names and Their Origin

Beginning with a comparison of Native American and European naming customs, this booklet discusses the derivations of the patronymics found in the index to the "Records of New Amsterdam." Several of the names discussed are also found in the Dutch settlements across the river - Bergen, Communipaw, Harsimus - that would later become Jersey City.
