Notes for Geertje DIRCKS
Please refer to the article “Origin of the Amerman and Terhune Families, and Their Founding Mother Geertje Dircks,” New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume 148, number 2(April 2017) p. 7. This is an excellent summary of the research done by Harry Macy Jr., FASG, FGBS, and Renee L. Dauven regarding evidence they have found to substantiate that the same woman, Geertje Dircks, was the mother for the Amerman and Terhune families of America.
