" Gerrit Dircksz Keyser, the grandfather of the Dirck Keyser who emigrated here (New Netherland), and himself one of the sons of a Dirck Keyser living there, had two children of whom we have an account, Dirck Gerritsz Keyser, a morocco leather manufacturer of Amsterdam, and Jannetye Gerritsz Keyser. Dirck Gerritsz Keyser, the father of the Dirck Keyser who emigrated here, married Cornelia, daughter of Tobias Govertz van den Wyngaert; she was one of a family of three or more children living in Amsterdam. One of her brothers was Tobias Govertz, Jr., and she had a sister who married Gerrit Gerritsz Vortgens, who died in Amsterdam and was buried in the Norder Kerckhof, June 4, 1662. Gerrit Gerritsz Vortgens' residence at the time of his death was in Korte-lange Street, in the Emerick Arms; he had a brother, Arent Gerritsz Vortgens. Dirck Gerritsz Keyser's sister Jannetye married Galenus (Geleyn) Jacobsz, who survived her husband, and lived in Amsterdam until her death, September I, 1669. The family were living in 1655 in Elandt Street, opposite the Witte Beer.' "[1]
