Excellent Source material for genealogists in Bergen County, October 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Paramus, Bergen County, New Jersey, Reformed Dutch Church baptisms, 1740-1850: From a copy made by Dingman Versteeg under the direction of William ... the church yard and a list of church members (Hardcover)
This book contains some records of the Paramus Reformed Dutch Church, as well as gravestone inscriptions. The Graveyard is a very old one, and lies within land owned by Magdelena Valleau, which was once subject of much controversy surrounding ownership, between Magdelenas father and the Proprietors of East Jersey. Some of the Tombstones are gone now, due to decay and corrosion, and this book contains the inscriptions of stones long ago lost to nature, and is an excellent means of reconstructing a genealogical chart of ones ancestors in this area. familiar names include Ackerman, Zabriskie, as well as a host of other Dutch names. The Church itself is a very old one, existing even prior to the Revolutionary War.
