"This book is an attempt to pull together the records of many genea- logists and document the material wherever possible. This volume contains the first five generations of the descendants of the 17th century Dutch immigrants Philip and David Schuyler of Albany, N.Y., as well as the families of Jacob Schuyler of N.J. and Minaville, N.Y., the Rev. Johannes Schuyler, Philip Schuyler of Morrowtown, N.J., and other families prior to 1800 that spelled their name Schoeler/Schuiler/Schuyler or Shuler (Schuler?). I have been unable at this time to determine the immigrant ancestry of some of these families"--Introduction (p. iii). V. 2 continues with the descendants of David and Philip Schuyler of Albany, N.Y. from fifth to eighth generation including various Schuyler families in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa and elsewhere.
Winner of the 2004 Annual Archives Award for Excellence in Research Using the Holdings of the New York State Archives presented by the Board of Regents and the New State York Archives Beverwijck explores the rich history and Dutch heritage of one of North America's oldest cities—Albany, New York. Drawing on documents translated from the colonial Dutch as well as maps, architectural drawings, and English-language sources, Janny Venema paints a lively picture of everyday life in colonial America. In 1652, Petrus Stuyvesant, director general of New Netherland, established a court at Fort Orange, on the west side of New York State's upper Hudson River. The area within three thousand feet of the fort became the village of Beverwijck. From the time of its establishment until 1664, when the English conquered New Netherland and changed the name of the settlement to Albany, Beverwijck underwent rapid development as newly wealthy traders, craftsmen, and other workers built houses, roads, bridges, and a school, as well as a number of inns. A well-organized system of poor relief also helped less wealthy settlers survive in the harsh colonial conditions. Venema's careful research shows that although Beverwijck resembled villages in the Dutch Republic in many ways, it quickly took on features of the new, "American" society that was already coming into being.
