Baptismal Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatlands, L.I. 1747-1802

BEGIN

   The following is a transcription by Peter Divine, July 2001, from LDS
   Microfilm #17637. This is a microfilm of a handwritten transcript in
   possession of the Holland Society of New York, New York City. The
   transcription of original records (and translation from Dutch to
   English) was done by Dingman Versteeg into a ledger book. Only the
   front-side of each leaf was used (only the odd-numbered pages), except
   for the frontispiece on page 152. The microfilming was done in reverse
   order, beginning with page 231 and ending with page 152. Flatlands is
   now a part of the Borough of Brooklyn in the city of New York.

Notes from Peter Divine:

    1. "do" means "ditto", used in place of re-writing the surname of the
       previously mentioned individual.
    2. Notes and question marks that I inserted are enclosed in brackets
       [?].
    3. All other notes and question marks, including those in parentheses
       (), were inserted by Dingman Versteeg.
    4. In Dingman Versteeg's handwriting, the capital "L" is virtually
       indistinguishable from the capital "S", and the small "h" is
       indistinguishable from the small "k". Thus, what I have
       transcribed as "Sytje" may in some cases really be "Lytje", and
       what I have transcribed as "Fish" may really be "Fisk".
    5. I have carefully used commas as placeholders. For example,
       "Jacobus, Aug 17, 1748, Jacobus Wyckhof,, Sara Amerman wife of
       Pieter Wyckhof" indicates that Sara Amerman was listed under the
       "Witnesses" column [Lorine's note: meaning that the mother of baby
       Jacobus is not given, which you can see by the two commas and a
       blank space where the mother's name should be], while "Nicholas,
       April 6, Nicholas Schenk, Willempje Wyckoff" indicates that
       Willempje Wyckoff was listed under the "Parents" column.
