Thanks, Dorrie, I've had a gratifying response to my posting about Machackemech records, including reference to "Church Life," which is new to me. But clearly the 200-or-so-page document I found on the shelf at OrCoGenSociety in Goshen NY ("Old Dutch Records of the Machackemech and Menissinck Churches," trans. by Ten Eyck, rev. & annotated by Nearpass) seems to be the "Church Life" you mention. Checking data to resolve contradictions with other sources about children of Jacobus Van Vliet and wife Margaret Palmatier will take some time. One pretty definite difference can be resolved, I think: Jacobus was reportedly born in 1738, not 10 years earlier in 1728. I'll report more later. Thanks again, Dorrie -- and others who signed in. --Bob Van Fleet Middletown NY
