I am Eight Generations from my direct ancestor Richard Pittenger who arrived in New Amsterdam aboard the Dutch ship , “ The Phillip “ in 1665! Thank you for this informative history!

[@SkbSzd]

nice..are you from that family?

[@BTS-MenFashion]

Nice

[@robertcuminale1212]

I'm 12th generation Dutch. Three sisters came in 1627 with their husbands. Two are my great grandparents as well as some of the Roosevelts. The 3rd sister was married to Jan Aertsen van der Bilt. WE never got a dime from any of them nor a cup of tea at the White House. I'm 11th generation French Huguenots who came in 1653 on the Bonte Coe. (Spotted Cow). I left the city 50 years ago because I couldn't stand what it had become. Filthy, crime ridden and no better than the Tammany Hall days.

[@wargame2play]

@@SkbSzd yes our branch went to New Jersey when the British arrived . Then went West to the Northwest Territory and settled in Ohio.

[@wargame2play]

@@robertcuminale1212 we always thought we were Dutch too, until we learned that was because the Pittenger family were refugees from the English Civil War . We are originally from Nottinghamshire. One of OUR cousins was John D. Rockefeller! We were the poor relations.

When I walk thru Wall Street, the Bowery, Broadway, cross the river to Brooklyn , I imagine what it was like when Five Points teamed with gang violence, where George Washington was inaugurated, when the British occupied, when the Dutch took over settlers, tried to tax the natives, started the slave trade. I always go back back to when the Lenape and other Natives lived here for thousands of years, their forest home. They couldn’t have imagined what this land is like present day.

I’m still looking for some kind of video or movie about how New York City was formed/built/constructed. I don’t want to hear about how the government was formed and how the wars were fought. I want to see what kind of buildings and streets were constructed. I’m more interested in the architecture and real estate than the government. But almost every video I find tells me about the Dutch fighting with the English and renaming the city and then there was a new war and then forts were renamed and I’m I’m just not interested in that. that’s not what I’m looking for. If anyone else is looking for the same thing and they have bunch to read this message let me know if you find a video that shows for instance how brownstones were built and the reason why they had so many levels. Or the kitchen on the bottom floor. Why didn’t they have backyards? Was Brooklyn ever a city. Was it always a part of New York City? What is a burrough? It sounds like it’s just another name for a city. I’m thinking, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, we’re all individual cities at one point.

A lot of people ignore the indigenous history in part because it goes against the commonly held archaeologist position that culture did not exist before 6,000 years ago. The 6000 years part is a coping mechanism for western archaeology that you can trace to the bible. The bible says earth and everything is 6000 years old. When archaeology first became a profession, they couldn’t receive approval from the extremist Christians in power, and made sure that they explored any discoveries with the goal of confirming the 6000 years narrative.
