Lookup request: Flatbush church records, 1998 publication

Question

Could someone with access to this book (probably via a library) please look up the record of the marriage on 19 September 1745 and tell me how the names of the bride and groom are recorded?

David William Voorhees, ed. and trans., Records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Flatbush, Kings County, Volume 1. (Holland Society of New York, 1998).

The couple of interest is Johannes (or Johan or John) Duryee (or Durjee or Duryea or Durye, etc.) and Neeltje (or Eleanor) Cowenhoven (or a similar spelling).

I am looking for the 1998 published transcript of the church record, not the 1898 version. I have seen the record transcript in the Year Book of the Holland Society of New York - 1898, and I want to check the 1998 version because the 1898 version is said to contain transcription errors that were corrected in 1998.

Thanks!

I don't know who put this together but they seem to have done a great deal of research and have a number of sources, perhaps they might assist with your inquiry?  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/175387728/aeltje-coertse-van_voorhees

Thanks!  Unfortunately, that does not help me. I am trying to ascertain a Last Name at Birth, following WikiTree's policy of "using their conventions, not ours." I have access to the NYGBR articles cited on that findagrave page, but those articles follow the widespread practice of standardizing names from generation to generation (not Wikitree's policy). The Findagrave page cites the Voorhees transcription of the Flatbush church records, but I have a strong hunch that the citations to Voorhees were simply copied from the Brouwer Genealogy Database. The Brouwer Genealogy Database does not have much information for this particular couple, and it does not cite the Voorhees version of their marriage record.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the book only covers records through 1720, so this marriage isn't included.

Thanks, Paige! That is useful to know.

Following up on my question:

The image on Family Search of a 1912 transcription of the records shows this man as Johan Durjee (same as the 1898 transcription). With that information and the knowledge (from Paige) that Voorhees did not publish a transcript of records for after 1720, I went ahead and changed his LNAB to Durjee and completed the proposed merge.
