The Netherlands
Early Dutch traders to North America were concerned with making
a profit and going home, not keeping records. Later, English clerks
were not always worried about the distinction between Dutch or German
origins.
Therefore, early Dutch can be hard to research. Church records
are the most likely source. Once the Dutch Reformed Church arrived
the clergy needed to keep track of their flocks... and donations.
