About This Book

A genealogical compendium that traces an early Huguenot ancestor who settled in the New Netherlands and his American descendants. The compiler documents parish and civil records, confronts variant surname spellings (De Camp, Van Kamp, Van Campen), distinguishes unrelated Dutch and French families, and reproduces baptismal, marriage, and migration evidence to reconstruct lineages. The work discusses efforts to locate continental records, cites occurrences of the surname in French and Swiss archives, and includes pedigrees, footnotes on related families, and commentary on archival challenges and transcription difficulties encountered during research.
