New Netherland Settlers : The Boelen Family: Ancestry Of The Boelen Family & Their Connection To The Ten Eyck, Clock, Coert, Roos, And Hellaken Families

Boele Roeloffsen, the immigrant ancestor of the Boelen family, arrived in New Netherland in 1659. His wife Bayken Arents, their three children, and Bayken's sister Tryntie Arents sailed with him on board the ship Otter. Two more children were born to Boele and Bayken after they settled in New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam was a young town in 1659 but it was growing rapidly. New Amsterdam's gabled homes, the Dutch language being spoken, and Dutch laws in place would have offered comfort to the newly arrived settlers. This book offers new details beyond my original article The European Origins of the Boelen Family: Boele Roeloffson and His Wife Bayken Arents in Amsterdam, published in the April 2000 issue of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record. It also revises and expands on the 2010 book I published on Boele and Bayken .
