IS YOUR FAMILY NAME GERMAN OR DUTCH? THE COLONIAL RECORDS DON'T LIE
Everyone knows the Mayflower story — but tens of thousands of German and Dutch colonists built entire regions of America at nearly the same time, and their surnames are sitting quietly in millions of family trees today. This video reveals 15 documented German Palatine and Dutch New Netherland surnames, including the real historical figures behind them: Conrad Weiser, Peter Stuyvesant, the Roosevelt family, Martin Van Buren, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and more. If your family has roots in colonial Pennsylvania, the Shenandoah Valley, or New York's Hudson Valley, one of these names might be in your tree. Learn how to search Palatines to America, the New Netherland Institute, and the NYGB Society for your own colonial ancestry. #ColonialAmerica #GermanAmerican #DutchAmerican #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #NewAmsterdam #PalatineGermans #AmericanHistory #FindYourRoots #ColonialAncestry
