Fulkerson

Volkertsen
Volkerse

Origins Beginning with New Netherlands settler Dirck "De Noorman" Volckertszen the name began. He was born in Norway circa 1595 and was named so as his father's first name was Volkert (or a variation of such). Continuing with the patronymic naming convention, his children were known with the surname of Dircks. Once the British took over the colonies that once belonged to the Dutch, this naming practice was stopped and a common surname was passed from generation to generation. Dirck's descendants through his son's Volkert Dircks three sons are known by the Fulkerson, Folkertson, or Volkertsen name.

Volkert Dirck's three sons were:

Dirck Volkertson
Philip Volkerse
Nicholas Folkertsen
