So my own New Amsterdam ancestry is quite back in the past and pretty much just now discovering - the Skillman line. That means I have had no particular need to mine NYC data sources.
But I thought this summer I would make myself available to go try and get some original source documents on behalf of geni trees & profiles. There are some wonderful archives, museums, historical societies, etc. -- and -- I just bought an iPAD with an HD camera built in (so excited about my new toy).
Can we put together a list / plan for me to road trip for you? I am interested in the oldest records, say first explorers to no later than American Revolution.
