Checked the Utrecht archive for the version of the name..Elis, Elisse(n) are the versions we can find, Elyssen or versions give no results...see also previous posts ;)
Elyssen-1 and Elissen-1 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts. Thanks!
Riker says that he wrote his name as Elyessen so that's probably the source for that, original NY documents. His children used Bastiaens* and his grandchildren (at least some of them) used Ellis* variations.

Steven, there are masses of hits on the surname Elissen (as noted in http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nnship24.shtml and http://frostandgilchrist.com/getperson.php?personIDI11466&treefrostinaz01). Many (abundant) names in databases of primary records (though unfortunately no baptismal or other records found as yet - will have to do a more extensive search) also spelled Elissen. However, it seems that the surname Elyessen or variants thereof is only found in genealogical websites such as Ancestry etc. No hits at all until now in the regular primary source databases. So I would go (choose) for Elissen.

Your thoughts?
My only concern is that the Elissen match cites in the bio that he immigrated on Ship: DE VERGULDE OTTER (The Gilded Otter) Sailed 26 April 1660.
So he may be on a passenger list with that spelling. But that name seems to me to be a bit simplified. Is a proper first name spelling Elis, or Elyes?
Born in Werkhoven, Utrecht, Netherlands.
My preference is to make this Elyessen the surviving NNS. Your thoughts?
