Its very interesting to learn about how citys were discovered and settled down. When I hear about this history, it brings me back to middle school and high svhool.

I have been doing genealogy research on branches of my family - our English branch arrived in the New World in 1629. My great -grandmother was a Courtright (also Van Kortryk, Van Cortright, etc). Our ancestors arrived from Beest in Gelderland, Holland and arrived in New Amsterdam in 1663 on the ship Spotted Cow. They initially bought land in the village of Harlem and had a farm on Staten Island. I will be visiting my daughter in Manhattan in October, so I was interested to hear that there may be some historical celebrations of the Dutch.
