Hello everyone,
Thanks to Ancestry.com and FTDNA I was able to prove descendence from Dutch migrants to New Amsterdam in the mid 17th Century. Can anyone tell me more about the reasons many Dutch families had for migrating? Economic, war, etc? I know very little about Dutch history and would like to learn more. Started drinking Heineken and Amstel to build the connection though.
Thanks
Justin
