Nicasius De Sille | 1610 - 1674

Nicasius is my 9 times Great Grandfather on my Maternal Grandmother's side. (And by the way, mom and Robbie, this line of the family is all Dutch, so we have a chunk of that!)

He is listed as part of the iconography of Manhattan Island. This is the index page he is listed on, will try and see if I can get my hands on the books (there are 6! of them).

Remember, Robbie, I mentioned memberships that come with learning our lineage. If I can get good documentation for this 9xGGPA, it comes with membership in Society of Daughters of Holland Dames.

More to come when I find more.I will just add to this post...

Trying to get started again...

Though, without a paid subscription it will largely be weeding through to set aside things to check when I can afford it!  Next summer I really want to do some traveling to try and check on documents...and for another project I have planned...so hopefully I can set out some worthwhile ventures by then. Meanwhile, being on vacation is a good time to start it seems! I'll post anything interesting I come across...
