Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogical History of the Van Alen Family: Embracing a Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths; Also Biographical Sketches
The Dutch wrote very little - and their records are meager hence the literature for genealogical research, is for the most part, shut up in the archives of historical libraries, and in giving in printed form the results of patient research through those agencies. Also correspondence with relatives covering a period of several years. I take pleasure in pre senting a record, gleaned from public and historic family documents, which I believe has been correctly c'ollate'd.
