Marriage

Narrative
From Schermerhorn Genealogy and Family Chronicles, page 38:
Among the New York Dutch Church records is a marriage record as follows:
"Feb. 20, 1650. Jacob Janszen, y. m. Jannetie Jacobs y. d. Van Amsterdam."
The early church records were quite crude, and it has been noticed by the author that correctness in registering surnames was by no means invariable. This is quite possibly the marriage record of Jacob Janse Schermerhorn and Jannetie Egmont.
