Biography

Origins & Parentage

The first record that can tell us about the origin of Focke Jansz is the bill for his travel of the Bonte Koe in 1660 ^[1]. The record states that he came from Drenthe, as well as that he had a wife and several children (the oldest being 19 years of age). This suggests that Focke had already lived a large part of his adult life in the Netherlands before moving to New Netherland.
