Are you a descendant of Adriaen Vincent and his wife Magdaleen Eloy?
Asking because I just published the 2nd edition of this book on this New
Netherland Settler.Adriaen Vincent, a Walloon from Belgium, made the perilous journey to New Netherland with his wife Magdaleen and their young family in the early 1640s. A former West Indies Company soldier, Adriaen was embarking on a new life.
The family settled in the village of New Amsterdam, which would one day become the city of New York. Life could not have been easy for the couple, faced with a different culture and language. But settlers were pouring in and New Amsterdam was flourishing. Within a few years Adriaen and Magdaleen opened a tavern which catered to sailors and new arrivals. Their fortunes soon took a turn for the better and the family settled into their new life.
This
edition contains new information on the family in the Netherlands and
New Netherland, as well as details on descendants of Adriaen and
Magdaleen. See https://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/published.shtml
