Netherlands Ancestry - tree building help needed

I made a start, adding Alexander parents and grandparents

Ard van Bergen It looks great! And why we need you. :). For example I can read the PDF file well enough to see names, locations and dates, but some of the kinship terminology I was uncertain of. For the American tree could supplement with other source info, and I will also try to get a copy of the published article in TAG to read.

There’s a hint the tree winds back to Genoa?

the name Hinojosa (in whatever spelling variation) is clearly of Spanish origin, mentioned at various places in the document. The link with Genoa is only mentioned in a very speculative way and predates their appearance in the Low Countries by many centuries

Is this profile Roeloff Jansen de Haes the father of Alexander’s wife, Margaretha de Haes ?

His Roeleff’s widow married Jacob Crabbe 2nd

it looks unlikely to me that Alexander's father-in-law was born in 1623; I would expect earlier. Alexander's daughter Johanna was born in 1654

Agree. Perhaps Margaretha de Haes was a sister or other relative of Roeleff. The geography - property in New Amstel - cannot be a coincidence. There were not many European-origin there at the time.

Private User You did some work on the improbable Birth date for

Margaretha de Haes

Any ideas on this wife of Alexander de Hinojosa?

(A different Margaretha de Haes from the one who married Captain Edmund Cantwell )

all of Alexander's children were born in Holland, so there is no reason why his in-laws need to have a connection with the New Amsterdam settlement

my memory fails me on Margaretha de Haes

As far Alexander d’Hinoyossa goes, my limited familiarity only has to do with reading background material in his role at New Amstel... I was trying to hunt down pedigrees of others at the colony... and this was a while back...

Then you’ll enjoy the descent lines we’re getting into Geni! The two daughters have plenty.

Don’t we think a de Haes and a de Haes living in the same place at the same time would be related? Is it that common a name? How many would have emigrated? What would have brought the Roeleff family to a frontier fort? Relationship with an enterprising colonial governor comes to mind, doesn’t it?
