When adding profiles of Dutch persons could you please NOT concatenate prepositions and last name in LNABs, that is not valid for Dutch born persons.
So not "vanderDennen" but "van der Dennen", not "vanDuinhoven" but "van Duinhoven", etc.
Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like US History Project would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)

PS If you create tags for your surnames, the tags become clickable links to pages which might have a list of others who want to collaborate about that surname. There are also links to some of WikiTree's tools.
I see you added the DNA tag to your profile. Here are a few links & tips to help you along in the journey of WikiTree and DNA.
It's not hard to add DNA test information to profiles on WikiTree, just make sure you add the tests to the actual test participant's profile & set the Privacy to Private w/ Public Biography & Family Tree to show the tester's part of our tree. For help see How to DNA on WikiTree
Hi Jane, and welcome. Do have a rough idea where in Québec your Thompson's settled? Mine were in the Eastern Townships. A cool resource is http://www.booksbygwen.ca/database/t, though it's not definitive. Happy digging, Bruce

This is described in the Dutch Naming Convention

p.s. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile as the links will work from there.
