names.jpg (25395 bytes)  [#A164] Names, Names, and More Names - locating your Dutch ancestor in Colonial America by Arthur C.M. Kelly. Researching your family history can be difficult when investigating the NY and NJ areas prior to 1720. During early settlement of these regions by the Dutch, the patronymic system of naming was almost exclusively used. And because there were no state regulations requiring the local governments to keep vital records, the names written down for people depended largely on how they were pronounced by the individual and the training of the person writing the information.
Have you considered that the name Human Gomry is actually Hugh Montgomery? Or that Ackly and Oculi are variant spellings for Oakley? Combining thirty years of research, Arthur C.M. Kelly has produced Names, Names, and more Names, which includes names utilizing a patronymic approach, given name equivalents, and a name directory of spouses known to be living in North America prior to 1700.  softbound, 8 cross reference tables, 260 pages     $19.95
