Research Notes

I suspect the name Hendrikje written in the baptism record was a mistake by the person who wrote it in 1741 as I can find no indication of any other Abraham Fonda during this time period married to a Hendrikje. Also, the Abraham Fonda married to Elbertje and that Laurens is attributed to is listed in this Abrahams will that was probated in 1762. Hollenbeck-914
