The marriage record indicates that Hendrick Gerritszen was from Nes in Embderlandt. Embderlandt apparently refers to Emden in Ostfriesland (East Frisia). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emden). An online article in the Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia[2] discusses Nes in Ostfriesland as a place where some Mennonites lived in the 1550s. Smith-62120 22:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
