These baptimal records list Evert Pietersz Keteltas as a witness, the simplest explanation being that the witness is commonly the child's grandfather.

• 1664 Nov 09; Arent Evertszen Molenaer, Susanna; Evert; Evert Pieterszen, Lysbeth Salomons
• 1669 Feb 17; Arent Evertszen Keteltas, Susanna de Boog; Grietie; Evert Pieterszen Keteltas
• 1670 Dec 31; Arent Evertsz Keteltas, Susanna Hendricks; Cornelia; Evert Pietersz Keteltas, Tryntie Beeckmans
• 1670 Feb 25; Jan Evertszen Keteltas, Aeltie Jans Schepmoes; Johannes; Evert Keteltas, Sara Schepmoes
• 1673 Jan 25; Jan Evertszen Keteltas, Aeltie Jonas; Abraham; Evart Pietersz Keteltas, Hillegond Joris
• 1674 Dec 30; Jan Evertszen Keteltas, Aeltje Jans Schepmoes; Evert; Evert Pietersz Keteltas, Dirck Franszen, Wesseltie Jans
• 1677 Jan 31; Jan Keteltas, Aeltie Jans Schepmoes; Cornelis; Evert Pieterszen Keteltas, Abraham Schepmoes, Marritje Jans, Tryn Cornelis

Hence we seem to have the proof that our Evert did in fact emigrate and that he was living in the New York area as late as 1677. As his son, Jan Evertsz, has several more children baptised without his father being named it could be surmised that Evert Pietersz died between Feb 1677 and Aug 1680.

Evert's brother (or) cousin Adolph ?
