Biography

Andries Luycaszen was a sea captain. The earliest documentary evidence found for Andries being in the New World is 1638 when he was the "upper boatswain" on the ship 'Key of Calmar'. He also had some linguistic fluency as he was used as an interpreter with the Native American.[1][2]

1647 . . . Source: Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York, Volume XIV, page 94: There is a mention of Andries Luycassen, aged 53. This reference is dated 1647, making his birth about 1594.
1648 . . . Records at the New Amsterdam Dutch Church: 1648 Jul 19; Jan Janszen Van Breestede; Jannettie; Andries Lucaszen, Engeltje Jans Van Breestede, Elsje Ariaen. was married to his daughter, Maritie.
1651 . . . Records at the New Amsterdam Dutch Church: 1651 Sep 03; Andries Harpertszen; Johannes; Andries Lucaszen, Pieter Cornelis Van der Veen, Anneken Bogardus, Geertruydt Jans.
Immigration: March 1638 New Amsterdam, the Dutch Colony (colony renamed in 1664 to New York)[3]
Occupation: Sea captain and interpreter

  1. Pieter Minuit. Commander under the crown of Sweden, the "First Swedish Expedition".
  2. Hendrick Huygen, commissioner To take the place of Peter Minuit in his absence.
  3. Mans Nilsson Kling. Surveyed the land upon arrival in New Sweden and made a map of the whole river area. This map is in the Royal Archives of Sweden. He remained at the fort in command of the 23 men who came on the voyage. He returned to Sweden on the Second Expedition in 1640, and came back to New Sweden on the Kalmer Nyckel in 1641, to serve as lieutenant. He returned home to the Fatherland in the Swan, 1648, and remained in Sweden.

Name

Andries Luycaszen aka Lucas
Andries Luycaszen Andriessen

Birth

Andries Luycaszen was born ca. 1595 in Frederickstad, , Denmark
Birth: Date: Abt 1594 Place: Frederickstad,Østfold,Norway[4]

Christening

Christening: Place: Frederickstad, , Denmark

Marriage

  1. Andries married Jannetjen Jans (location unknown) and they baptized 3 children in Amsterdam from 1633 until 1641, at the baptism of the second child it's mentioned father went to the West Indies. He must have returned to Amsterdam, because in 1641 daughter Barber is baptized in Amsterdam, so perhaps after the Birth of Barber they all went to New Netherland ?
  2. Andries Luycaszen married Jannetje Sebyns ca. ABT 1631, at Amsterdam, Nord Holland, Netherlands -no record in Amsterdam for this marriage and no baptisms for children of this couple in Amsterdam.
Note: No marriage and no baptism records of children in the Netherlands were found for a Jannetje Sebijns, it also seems incorrect because the children that were baptized in Amsterdam by Andries Luijcasz and Jannetjen Jans were baptized from 1633 until 1641. At the baptism of son Pieter it is mentioned father went to West Indies, this seems to correspondent with the trip he made in 1637 mentioned above, where he was mentioned as Andres Lucassen interpreter.

I'm trying to assemble a list of the ships that brought my ancestors to the New World from the Old World. I am hoping someone may have some information regarding the ship that carried his wife and children to Nieuw Amsterdam?

Hi Tamara,

Sorry for the late response and thanks for your help and enthusiasm.

We will mark profiles as unmerged match if they are not ready to be merged because like in this case we are not certain if both women really are the same or not. (There's too much that needs to be sorted out etc.)

If profiles are set as unmerged match they are not going to be merged until we have done some research/found and added sources and if because of the info we found we all are really positive they most likely are the same, that's when the match is removed and a merge is proposed and that's when they are merged.

After a merge both Bio's are combined, so all the info from both profiles is still in there when the profiles are merged including the templates and categories. So yes including the questionable template etc.

If sources and info shows they were really not the same the match is rejected of course..

Hope it helps and greets from the Netherlands,

Bea :)

Frederickstad is in Dutch West Indies, or Norway. I havent been able to find a Frederickstad anywhere else. Do you think it is one of these instead? There appears to be duplicates of Andries and there is a lot to sort out. Do you have anymore sources for him or Jannetje? TY Tammy

It would be the Frederickstad in Norway. At the relevant time, Denmark controlled Norway until Sweden did from 1814 until the beginning of the 1900s.
posted by C Smith
I have no subscripts, and some citations dont move let alone say 404.so Im limited in my understanding here But since I found only Frederikstad Norway, in the north, I see that there is Frederickstad Denmak established in the west Idies, in this time frame. This backs up the connection in the indies with a daughter.

There is no Jan Andrieszen-4 listed in the New Amsterdam Baptisms from 1639-1730

Collections of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, 1901'. His oldest sister Barber is listed with an old Amsterdam birth.

Hello-Thanks Bea. I really do think its 2 different women and relationships. I didnt point out the particular sources when I made the choice but where should I leave that info? I was at for a long time before rejecting it and I dont know much about unmatched vs rejected. Its a great time to learn it right now. What will happen to the conflagration warning in that case? Will it carry over? Can an unmergerd match be accidentally merged? And then lose the questionables? Im not comfortable yet about adding or changing the information in the project profiles, so Im sticking to confirming/ rejecting for peope. Understanding the options of unmergerd matches will definatley increase my value to help. So thank you for pointing it out for me by commenting. Im looking forward to your response:)

Luycaszen-5 and Luycaszen-1 appear to represent the same person because:

Hi,

They are the same and need to be merged, Jannetje Sebyns and Jannetje Jans might also be one and the same wife, and we added some records already, but it (if Jannetje Jans and Jannetje Sebyns perhaps just were one and the same wife) needs a bit more research to make sure, but they perhaps can or will be merged later, for now the duplicate husbands and wifes, so both Andriesses and both Jannetje Sebyns are duplicates though and they can be merged already.

If you are not certain about a merge or if profiles need more research or are not ready to be merged, instead of rejecting the merge it's better to set them as unmerged match, an unmerged match means they do look to be the same, but sometimes perhaps more research or sources are needed.

In this case the profiles of the husband and wife are the same and duplicates, and it's the second wife that needs more research, but this is something that can be done after they all are merged as well.

Hope it explains it a bit better many thanks for the help and message and greets from the Netherlands.

Bea :)

I dont think this is ready to be merged. Id have to check the 2 marriages- they didnt have divorce then did they? 1st wife is alive long after marr of 2cnd wife. Id start there. It could help straighten out the rest or confirm 1st 2cnd marriages (maybe 1st should be 2cnd?) I rejected a match.

Added baptisms of all children I could find in Amsterdam, there's nothing about or for a woman named Jannetje Sebyns.

The only thing I could find were three children baptized by Andries Luijcasz and his wife Jannetjen Jans. (see added note)

So if this is correct Barber was a daughter of jannetje Jans and was quite young when she married (abt 15 years of age) Tjerck Claeszen de Witt
