This New Netherland Descendants category is intended for the children and later descendants of Category:New Netherland Settlers who were born after 24 October 1674 and before July 4, 1776, when the United States declared independence from Great Britain. The date 24 October 1674 marked the end of New Netherland as a legal entity. On that date the Treaty of Westminster (1674) took effect in North America, giving the British control of the region that had been New Netherland.
Related categories are New Netherland Settlers, for people who were born in or resided in the lands defined as New Netherland or lands that became New Netherland prior 24 October 1674, and New Netherland Community, for people who do not fit the definitions of "Settler" or "Descendant" but either (1) were in the New Netherland area by 1700 and apparently were absorbed into the New Netherland culture (for example, British soldiers and Huguenots who arrived and settled in the area between 1674 and 1700) or (2) were important to the history of New Netherland (for example, some officials of the Dutch West India Company who never settled in New Netherland).
