Baptismal Records of the Dutch Reformed Churches in the City of Groningen, Volume 1, Netherlands 1640-1649

Dutch Reformed baptisms occurring in Martinikerk, the oldest church in Groningen, Netherlands were recorded beginning in 1640. This publication offers the first volume of records, covering the years 1640–1649. The author has taken time to alphabetize the records in three different ways: the child’s given name, the father’s given name, and the surname. Each entry includes: the year, month and day of the baptism; the church in which it occurred; The child’s given name; the father’s given name/child’s patronymic; the father’s patronymic; the mother’s name and the family’s address. After finding a child’s parents, one can find the siblings by looking up the father’s name. Important clues may be lurking among the names of the siblings; naming traditions of the Netherlands make these brothers and sisters especially significant.
