Additionally some titles from Dutch territories and Dutch communities in the United States are included for this same time-period. Newspapers presented here are from the Delpher website - a digital library initiative of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The Royal Library of the Netherlands).

Family members may also be mentioned in articles reporting on local news, events, and social activities. Many articles found here provide details on historical events that are unlikely to exist in any other record.
Coverage and completeness in this collection varies by title.
