Thank you Bea Wijma and the New Netherlands Settlers and Dutch Roots Projects

Question

Bea, the work you have done on Pieter Classen Wyckoff (as he is commonly known) has been heroic.  THANK YOU!!

This profile has been historically conflated over decades and was ravaged by Gustav Anjou.  Bea's unique background was instrumental in helping sort out the bad from the good.  We may have a little dusting left to do, but she waded through mountains of crap.  Pieter is associated with historically significant figures from the New Netherland Settlement and is the main progenitor of the Wyckoff line in America.  His home is part of the Wyckoff House Museum.  

Pieter has been argued about for decades and a lot of misinformation still holds sway.  Even professional genealogists had to be presented with evidence and logic to break through the mythogical history surrounding him. 

Bea and the Projects were able to sort though the mess and give us a comprehensible profile to work with.  Their work continues to sort out the surrounding family and the world is a better place for their work.

Thank you Bea and everyone involved in this project.

Definately a job well done.

Aah thank you so much Michael, you're help was just as important though, without you he perhaps still would have looked pretty much the same as before...it's Wiki Tree, the fact we all share this one goal and collaborate and all our wonderful team members ... it works and really makes a huge difference eeh ;)
