If you have ancestors that resided in New Netherland (New York) prior to 1664 then you should look at this project. They can say it better than I can:
The NYG&B’s New Netherland Settlers initiative is a groundbreaking, multiyear project to develop detailed, peer-reviewed sketches of all the people residing in New Netherland prior to 1664. Launched in 2024, this first-of-its-kind initiative combines new research and existing scholarship to provide a comprehensive, reputable, scholarly source for many generations of New Netherland families. The NYG&B is grateful to the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames, the project’s foundational sponsor, for its generous funding to launch New Netherland Settlers.
