I entered the surname "Haring" into my Ancestry DNA match search and came up with the two names above and others.   I don't even know iwhat that means but I am fascinated by the thought that I might be of Dutch descent.   I have no idea what i am doing but I would like to learn and am willing to help in any way I can.   Thank you for considering me to join your group.

Welcome to WikiTree Barbara, 

WikiTree is a free website that aims to build a single family tree that anyone can edit, covering all humanity. This is unlike Ancestry where everyone makes their own family tree. 

To get started, you need to create a WikiTree account and set up a profile. 

Then you should add parents, grandparents etc to your profile. There are privacy protections for the living and recently deceased. 

It seems that Pieter Janzen Bogert and Grietje Jans are already in WikiTree: 

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Haring-5

If you think you're descended from them, you should add on to WikiTree all the people between you and them, making sure to cite sources for all the new people you add. 

WikiTree also has projects for specific places and time periods. The New Netherlands project would be the right project for these two people, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/WikiTree-8

Feel free to ask questions if you need help with WikiTree or genealogy in general.
