Steven Janse was baptised in October 1617 in Nijkerk, Gelderland
Holland. A search of church records revealed the names of his parents
and grandparents, as well as siblings. These records are all included in
this book.
In 1636 when Steven was only 18, the Bubonic Plague struck
and most of his family died. Steven and his wife Maria Goosens arrived
in New Netherland circa 1648. By 1655 they were living apart and
eventually sought a legal divorce in 1663. Both remarried and Maria had
one more child - a son born illegitimately, his father unknown.
Their
stories and their descendants to 3 generations are all discussed in this
book which is fully sourced with over 250 footnotes.
