GEDCOM Note

The Annals of Newton by James Riker, Jr. "The family of Norstrand, or Van Norstrand, on Long Island, derive origin from Hans Jansen, who came over in 1640 from Noortstrandt in Holstein, and whose sons adopted the name of the place whence their father emigrated, which time had reduced to the present orthography. Hans. m. in 1652 Janneken Gerrits van Loon, and d. at Flatlands in 1690. His will is recorded both in New York and Brooklyn. He left sons John, Gerrit, Peter, and Folkert, whose descendants, now greatly multiplied, form in point of means and respectability, a valuable part of our population."

Hans was born Bet. 1600 and 1610 on Nordstrand Island, Schleswig-Holstein, Denmark (now Germany), and migrated to New Amsterdam in 1639. Hans was a farmer, and owned a farm in the Flatbush neighborhood located in the borough of Brooklyn in Kings County, Long Island, New York. The community name derives from the Dutch for "level forest" and is presently bounded by Parkside Avenue, Nostrand Avenue, Avenue H and Coney Island Avenue.
