I removed Janse from Willem's name because this was not part of his name. William is the first born son of Rev. Everardus Bogardus and Anneke Jans. He has no relation to his mother's first huband, Roeleff Jansen and as such would not have had Janse or any version of Janse included in his name. HIs baptism records and mother's will calls him by Willem, not Willem Janes. I can not find any documents from the time when he was alive where he was referred to as Willem Janes. "Janse" and other variences of Roeleff Jansen's name appear to have been added Willem's name by later generations.

born in New Amsterdam about 1639.

clerk in the Secretary's office in New Amsterdam in 1656.

appointed Postmaster of New Amsterdam in 1687.

died New York City in 1711.


GEDCOM Note

https://www.geni.com/projects/New-Amsterdam-Notable-Citizens/5376 New Amsterdam - Notable Citizens: Great Burghers Between 1657-1668, New Amsterdam ran a system of citizenship, meant to protect the interests of the citizens against the commercial competition of non-resident traders. The system recognized 'great burghers' and 'small burghers'. This, in effect, created a certain 'aristocracy' as it confirmed the positions of the most powerful families in the colony. Besides the fact that the title of 'great burgher' was hereditary, one of its privileges was access to the highest public positions in the colony. Nevertheless, the system had fundamentally democratic principles, because everyone could become a citizen of both types - depending on a few rules and the payment of a fee. Per 1657, twenty citizens were privileged as 'great burghers', whilst a further 216 became 'small burghers'. More citizens acquired the status throughout the existence of the system. The 'great burghers' in 1657 included Willem Bogardus.
