This web page is the result of many years of research - mainly into my husband's "Jersey-Dutch" ancestors, who migrated from New Amsterdam to Bergen County NJ, and the surrounding counties in New Jersey and New York. As a result of the research, I published a six generation book The Hopper Family Genealogy: Descendants of Andries Willemszen Hoppe(n) of New Amsterdam 1651 - 1658. in 2005. It had over 340 pages with 40 illustrations and maps. I am proud to announce that in 2025 a revised addition of the book, now designated as Volume I is being published. The new 396 pages edition contains many additions and some corrections to the first book plus dozens of additional descendants, photographs and documents. The long awaited The Hopper Family Genealogy: Descendants of Andries Willemszen Hoppe(n) of New Amsterdam 1651 - 1658 The Seventh and Eighth Generations will also be published in 2025. It will be published in two part. Part One has the 273 page seventh generation and the first 125 pages of the eighth generation.Part Two has the remaining 270 pages of the eighth generation, and the bibliography and index index. More than three thousand descendants are identified in the two volumes.
Any additions or corrections are always welcome.
I look forward to hearing from you.
