The Dirck who married Geertje Hendricks died by 1686 and left as heirs widow Geertje Hendricks and one son named Garret. He is the man whose family took the name Van Duyn or Van Dien. He is not the father of Jonas. This profile -- and also the profile identified as a duplicate to this one -- appears to represent him.
The Dirck (or Derrick) who is thought to be the father of Jonas (and several other children) apparently was married to a woman named Mary. He was alive as of 1703.
I will disconnect Jonas from this profile.
Based on the church records we have from New Netherland, his LNAB would be Gerritszen. Before I change the LNAB, I need to see what records (if any) exist from his immigration or earlier.
A lot of so-callled Dutch family names that end with -sz, -se etc. are actually patronymics. -se is used both for sons and daughters, but -sz is exclusively for sons (short for -szen).
I've seen a lot of spelling variations in both Dutch and non-Dutch patronymic and matronymic names.
Some families adopted last patronymic as their family names, some, like my own, adopted totally different family name.
