Research Notes

LNAB

I am revising his LNAB to Isacksen, which is the name recorded for him at his first marriage in Amsterdam (the earliest church record we have for him). I have seen no evidence (at least not yet) that he was ever recorded with a surname of van Hoeck or any variant spelling of Van Hook, so that will be an "Other Last Name."

A migration date of Arent Isaacszen for 1645 was previously posted on this Profile, which is not possible given the original documentation on this Profile that clearly shows Isaac Arentszen in Amsterdam North Holland in 1652, prior to departing for New Amsterdam.
