Unfortunately, the law did not require wills to be recorded at a public archive. The notaries kept these wills and other original legal documents (such as marriage contracts, guardianships, letters of apprenticeship, powers of attorney, contracts, and conveyances) in their personal custody. Some notarial records of persons in New Netherland (what is now New York and New Jersey) eventually ended up at the old Amsterdam Municipal Archives. | ||
A 5,000 card index to notarial records of the city of Amsterdam from 1598–1750 gives information about persons in New Netherland (what is now Now York and New Jersey). It is called Noord Amerika Chronologie (North American Chronology). The abstracts give the old-world place of origin of immigrants to New Netherland. The collection is available on microfilm at the New York State Library at [http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/ http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/], microfilm number A-FM 200-I. It is not available at the Family History Library. | A 5,000 card index to notarial records of the city of Amsterdam from 1598–1750 gives information about persons in New Netherland (what is now Now York and New Jersey).

The orphanmaster's court records in the Netherlands (Europe) from the 1650s to 1852 are indexed. A few of these records touch on people who emigrated to New Netherland. They include settlements and divisions of estates with provision for minor children, appointments of guardians, copies of wills, and burial records. They are only available at the Amsterdam Gemeentearchief (Municipal Archives) at [http://gemeentearchief.amsterdam.nl/ http://gemeentearchief.amsterdam.nl/]. | The orphanmaster's court records in the Netherlands (Europe) from the 1650s to 1852 are indexed.
