About Govert Loockermans

  • Arrives spring 1633 on De Soutbergh in New Netherland

Please note...

  • Govert is sometimes confused with a brother Godefridus (which is a namesake). Baptism records show that Godefridus was baptized in 1612. There is no baptisl record for Govert, but various records indicate that he was born between 1616-1617. This can be explained by the fact that Govert's father Jacob left Turnhout in about 1614 for three years to work in France. It can be assumed that Govert was thus born in France, and that there may be a baptism record for him there.
