Event Note
From Wikipedia: On October 8, 1636, the twenty-nine year old Bradt, his wife Annetje Barents, and their two children, Barent and Eva, sailed aboard the Rensselaerwyck, arriving in New Amsterdam on March 4, 1637. During the crossing, on Sunday, November 2, 1636, Annetje gave birth to a son they named "Storm". They would later have five more children, Engeltje, Gisseltje, Andries, Jan, and Dirck (or Hendrick).
