Probably the most important source for records of the earliest years of the Lutheran church in New York and, to a lesser extent, the neighboring colonies. The two indexes, with roughly 10,000 entries, make the huge amount of information readily available. The genealogical section contains detailed accounts of the Freese, Halenbek, Herdyk, Staats, Van Hoesen, Van Loon, Van Schaayk, Wingate and related families. Most take the family lines back into Europe.
