J., will appear in the Year Books for 1913, 1914 and 1915. The present book contains the Register of Bap- tisms from 1666 to 1788. The Year Book for 1914 will contain the Marriages and the Register of Members; while the Burials, Minutes of the Consistory, etc., will appear in the Year Book for 191 5. The records, as they are here presented, have had unusual care in preparation and have withstood the criticism of reviewers, many years, without showing any flaw. As early as 1880 Theodore Melvin Banta obtained permission from the Consistory of the Bergen Church to copy the "Church book" and in 1888, Thomas Edward Vermilye, Jr., as a member of a special committee of the Society on Records of the Ancient Dutch Churches of America, made a literal translation on loose leaves which is now in the library, marked for identification. Copy A, page 1-2 15, and which contains the "Register of Members and Baptisms". In the same year Dingman Versteeg, our present library clerk, copied 2 THE HOLLAND SOCIETY copied and translated the Marriages, Burial Records, and Minutes of the Consistory, marked Copy A, page 217-314. Both of these translations were made under the direction and supervision of Theodore Melvin Banta as chairman of the committee, above referred to, of which Mr. Vermilye was a member. In the years 1899 to 1903 a tabular transcript of the above-mentioned records was made in a bound volume by Sterling Potter, and marked Copy B, under Mr. Banta's personal direc- tion as Secretary of the Society. This book was then taken over to Jersey City, carefully compared with and corrected from the original by Dingman Versteeg, covering a period of many days. The Reverend Cor- nelius Brett, D. D., present pastor of the Bergen Church, has spoken with full appreciation of the "patient, painstaking work" of Mr. Versteeg and is on record as to the accuracy of this contribution to the colonial history of the church and New Jersey. The Register of Baptisms, printed in this volume, is complete, commencing January i, 1666, continuing to December 18, 1788. There appears to be a break, from 1669 to 1673, of four years, during which time the children may have been entered upon the records of New York or other churches. In after years it fre- quently occurs that children, born at Bergen, were baptized in New York, the record appearing "baptized in New York". In presenting this Register of Baptisms in tabular form, all notes given in the original record of a genea- logical value have been printed as foot notes at the bottom of each page. Items such as:—"born at 2 P. M." and "Born on Thursday at midnight" have been purposely omitted. In two instances where children were born "out of wedlock" wherein the sur- name assumed by the child is not given, the entries have also been omitted because of no genealogical value. All names have been faithfully copied as they ap- pear with all the variations in spellings and errors of the voorlesers; and where omissions occur, even though possible to supply, no inserts have been made. The record is thought to be truly represented. All entries have BERG EN RECORD S 3 have been arranged in the order of their dates of baptism and consecutively numbered for convenience in in- dexing. This work is published in the most likely form which it would have assumed if printed at the time the original entries were made by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier, who were the most famous printers of that time. The Elzeviers or Elseviers were a family of famous printers and booksellers of Leyden and after- ward Amsterdam; no fewer than fifteen of whom carried on the business in succession from 1580 to 1712. Their Pliny (1635), Firgil (1636) and Cicero (1642) are the masterpieces of their press, and in elegance of design, neatness, clearness and regularity of type, and beauty of paper cannot be surpassed. As far as practicable their typography and all of the peculiar characteristics of their works have been care- fully followed. The use of catch-words, signature letter- ing and half measure foot notes have been imitated exactly. The paper used in this book has been made to imitate the old paper of that day and the button of the Society is reproduced as a watermark. All of the illustrations have been made and engraved after the style of wood cuts then so popular. These cuts were engraved from photographs and descriptions and are historically correct as to detail and ensemble. The index was carefully prepared by William B. Van Alstyne, M.D., a member of our society who makes a specialty in statistical and genealogical work. The EYNDE ^^^^^~Tj^-2:^y- PRESENT DOMINE OF THE REFORMED PROTESTANT DUTCH CHURCH JERSEY CITY. NEW JERSEY THE REFORMED PROTESTANT DUTCH CHURCH of BERGEN IN NEW JERSEY FOUNDED 1660 # THE HOLLAND SOCIETY by a rectangular palisade, with a gate at the center of each side. Later a well was dug in the middle of the open square and a corner lot was reserved for a school. With the village came also the church and the school: in fact a condition made by each pioneer in accepting a grant of village lot or outlying farm was, that ministers of the Reformed faith should be provided and the edu- cation of the children secured. In 1661 the first municipality was created in the form of an inferior court whose decisions were subject to appeal in the general court in New Amsterdam. In 1662 Englebert Steenhuysen was engaged as voorleser w^^^sm^^'ss^mmsimsimmm-mimmsa ^r^d school- master. His contract re- A':1i-, quired him to teach the children in his own house and to conduct a service on each Lord's day, read- ing from a printed sermon in Dutch, furnish ed by The Classis of Amsterdam. There is also on file — BERGEN RECORDS 7 file in Albany a subscription list dated 1662'. In 1664 the record of members of the church in full communion begins. The earliest records are in the handwriting of D""" Henricus Selyns, a minister of the church of Breuckelen, Long Island, and later, after 1682, of the church of New York. In this original list we find the names of eighteen women and nine men. The record is evidently a copy from some earlier docu- ment and the break from the beautiful handwriting of the dominie to current entries is plainly discerned. The earliest services were probably conducted, like the school, in a private house: but tradition says there was built, within a few years, a log house, which served the double purpose of school and church. The first stone church was octagonal. ^ It stood south of the village just outside the palisade. One side of the interior was occupied by the pulpit opposite the door: three sides on the right and left of the door were provided with plain wooden seats, while the open space was filled with straight back chairs. The bell' hung in the peak of the roof and was rung by a rope which hung in the center. A succession of voorlesers followed Steenhuysen who left no records. In 1665 Reynier Bastiaense Van Giesen was installed and for forty-two years continued in office. He was succeeded in 1708 by Adriaen Vermeule who served for twenty-eight years and who formerly occupied the same position and that of town clerk at Niew Haarlem. In 1726 P.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 11, 1967, Number 4 LP-0234 MARBLE COLLEGIATE REFORMED CHURCH, 275 Fifth Avenue at West 29th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1851, completed 1854; architect Sa~uel A. Warner. Landmark2Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 831, Lot 33. On April 12, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Marble Collegiate Reformed Church and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 16). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. This hearing was continued to subsequent hearings of the Commission. The public hearing on the church was closed on November 10, 1966. (Item No. 1). The governing body of the church has informed the Commission that it approves of the proposed designation. DESCRIPTION 1~ ANALYSIS As its name implies, the material used on the exterior of this Church is marble, This striking edifice, with a tower and spire which r esembles that of a New England wooden church, commands a corner site, where it can be advantageously seen from all directions. Though the architect considered it Romanesque in style, he nonetheless used Gothic forms in the dtails of the building;;. This church is an architectural creation of outstanding quality and unique in character. Symmetrical in plan, the central tower is flanked at its base by tall double windows, with octagonal turrets at t he angles, terminating in spires with carved finials. The handsome doorway, in the center of the tower, is set in a richly carved recessed arch carried on colonnettes with ornamented capitals.

Garden State Preservation Trust Fiscal Year 2011 DRAFT Annual Report This is the Annual Report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the Fiscal Year 2011 from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. It has always been goal and mission of the Garden State Preservation Trust to place preservation first. This report reflects that priority. The most common suggestion concerning prior annual reports was to give more prominent placement to statistics about land preservation. This report is structured to place the preservation data first and to provide it in unprecedented detail. Information and financial data concerning GSPT financing, recent appropriations and agency operations are contained in the chapters which follow the acreage tables. This is to be construed as the full annual report of the Garden State Preservation Trust for the 2011 Fiscal Year in compliance with P.L. 1999 C.152 section 8C-15.

  • Wiewaswie: Indexed Records Online Instructions
    WieWasWie: Indexed Records Online The Netherlands” “How to” Guide, Beginning Level: Instruction April 2016 GOAL You will learn how to find records about your ancestors in the Netherlands and find documents associated with those records. INTRODUCTION WieWasWie is a collective database from numerous provincial, regional and city archives in the Netherlands and some of its former territories that includes over 100 million persons from many types of records. There is no fee to search the records, although one must have a paid subscription to search for two people at once or to use partial searches or wildcards. The most important record types for the beginning researcher include baptism, birth, marriage, death, and burial records. These records cover the period from the 17th into the 20th centuries. However, not all records in this time period are included. The critical date for Dutch research is 1811, when civil registration was imposed upon the Netherlands by the French. Before that time, church records are the primary source of records, although a few areas had already begun civil registration. Keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and that information is being added to the database. Most of the marriages from the civil registration time period (post-1811) have been indexed; however, many of the births and deaths have not. Coverage is much sparser prior to 1811. If you do not find your ancestor, it may be that his particular records have not been indexed yet. WieWasWie is available in Dutch and English. However, the researcher should know some Dutch terms. Use the key words list on the FamilySearch Wiki page, found at the following link: https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Netherlands_Language_and_Languages HOW TO Before you begin using the website WieWasWie, you must understand the following concepts about Dutch names.

However, this time I delved into my own genealogy rather than my wife’s. You see, I’d previously worked only on her lines because there were few others researching them and it was easy to find a starting point. On the other hand, much had been done on my lines, so it was more difficult to find a place to begin. One day, while examining my pedigree chart, I noticed my Van Wagner line had no information beyond my third great grandfather, Halmagh John Van Wagner. I was shocked! I’d understood that line had been researched back to the immigrant ancestor, but if it had, I didn’t have a record of it.

Not only did the company present more than 200 exiting performances, but we also welcomed Yannick Nézet-Séguin as the Met’s new Jeanette Lerman- Neubauer Music Director. Maestro Nézet-Séguin is only the third conductor to hold the title of Music Director since the company’s founding in 1883. I am also happy to report that the 2018–19 season marked the fifth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so, as we recorded a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Saint-Saëns’s epic Samson et Dalila and also included three other new productions, as well as three exhilarating full cycles of Wagner’s Ring and a full slate of 18 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 13th season, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office, media, and presentations) totaled $121 million. As in past seasons, total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. The new productions in the 2018–19 season were the work of three distinguished directors, two having had previous successes at the Met and one making his company debut.

  • Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and Its Community
    Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and its Community Presented by Bob Murgittroyd (historian) during the program “Slice of History”(part of Old Bergen Church’s 350 th Anniversary celebration) on May 14, 2010 at the Brennan Courthouse, Jersey City, NJ Settlement of Bergen Tonight’s alloted time does not permit a lengthy re-telling of the history of our area but I have been asked to offer glimpses of the history of Hudson County during the 350 years of its existence. Today it is hard to imagine Hudson County as the edge of the American frontier, but from the time Henry Hudson sailed into the New York Bay in 1609 until the founding of the Town of Bergen in 1660, that is exactly what is was. During those 51 years settlers to the area experienced both the rewards and perils of living in a wildness area filled with rich natural resources and a native people whose cultural would often clash with their own. Almost immediately upon Hudson’s return to the Netherlands the prosperous merchants who had financed his voyage of discovery sought to exploit their investment in the area then named New Amsterdam. One commodity found by Hudson’s travels seemed to offer the best chance for immediate financial reward, the pelts of American beaver which were then so highly prized in Europe. For the next twelve years parties of men were sent to the area to establish small trading posts to barter with the natives for the valuable beaver skins.
