NW Okie's Journey

As seen on my weather-cam in Alva, Oklahoma, it looks like our Southwest Colorado Rocky snowstorm has reached into Northwestern Oklahoma on this Saturday (12/17/2016) with a bit of snow flurries and chilly temperatures. Don't worry, Oklahomans, wait three days and a change will come.

The above image of "The Original Dutch Settlers of Long Island" was found in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, dated 21 September 1858, Tuesday, page 1, with a letter to the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle.

Dear Sir: I take the liberty of transmitting to you, for publication in the Eagle, a list of communicants in the Protestant Reformed churches of Brooklyn Flatbush, Flatlands, and New Utrecht, from September 6, 1677 to 1685, copied from the church records of Flatbush, in the handwriting of the Rev. Casparus Van Zuuren, who, during said period, was Pastor of the church in the above named towns. The original spelling of the record has been followed as nearly as possible. This list has probably never been published, and may prove interesting to some of your readers, especially those whose ancestors are to be found in it. Its publication will ensure its preservation, (of which it is worthy,) for the benefit of those who may hereafter engage in researches in the personal history of the early settlers of this county. ~ Teunis G. Bergen, Bay Ridge, August. 1858.

This week we continue our search for Electoral College and information concerning Electors. We have found some genealogy history of our CONOVER (COUWENHOVEN) family lineage that dates back to the mid-sixteen century and Amerfoort, Holland. Also, we found some interesting information concerning the "Boomers" waiting in line for "Run for Homes" in 1893.
