Can someone add a section about the Angelized spelling in this generation? I would like a small history of the name change and all those previous spellings. I think that all first generation ancestors with a spelling change should feature a section such as this.

In this case, the story seems obvious. The German "Lange straat" literally translates to "Long street" in English. The local recordkeepers probably didn't even regard this as a change. The real story, if any, would have been in the previous two generations. When the English took over New Netherland in mid-17th century, they told the population to adopt surnames to facilitate English-style record keeping. This family apparently chose Longstreet or similar for some reason; maybe they resided on "Lange Straat" or simply a street that happened to be long. In any case, the recording of that name, depending on the accent of the speaker and the ear of the recorder, might have been recorded in various ways. You simply have to accept it. Spelling was variable in those days. Record-keepers were spelling in various ways my Dutch-American in-laws until the beginning of the 20th century.

Some of the confusion for Gysbert comes from the spelling of the name and some due to the late baptism that shows a different birth record.

Longstreet-57 and Langestraet-9 appear to represent the same person because: same dates and parents
Longstreet-41 and Langestraet-9 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates and Parents. Variation in spelling of Last Name at Birth to be added to the Other Last Name field until a primary source can be added
Longstreet-50 and Longstreet-41 appear to represent the same person because: Clear Duplicate
