Great info from The Holland Society of New York website, was founded in New York City in 1885 to collect information on the settlement and history of New Netherland. Its main objective was to find and preserve documentation about the inhabitants’ lives as well as the political, social, and religious patterns in the Dutch colony. Historical publications were sponsored, along with encouragement for family studies and genealogy. Many Society members have been especially active in genealogical research and publication.
The Holland Society originated The New Netherland Project which is translating and publishing the 17th Century records held by the New York State Archives.
Membership in the Holland Society is open to descendants in the direct male line of an ancestor who lived in New Netherland before or during 1675.
Guessing made 1885-1920. Cool Old Gorham Co Holland Society of NY Tray. Please check pictures for description and condition.
