DUTCH RECORDS IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, NEW YORK.
A FEW years ago there were published by the city of New York, seven volumes of translations from the Dutch Court Records of New Amsterdam during the Dutch period, preserved in the City Clerk's office, which pertained principally to petty disputes of the inhabitants.
Other volumes in the same office, covering the same period, are of obviously greater value, as they refer to the settlement of the estates of deceased persons, to business transactions recorded in the books of notaries public, and to conveyances and mortgages of real estate in New Amsterdam. Of most of these records translations were made by the late Dr. O'Cal- laghan, which translations will also be found in the City Clerk's office. Of some volumes no translation appears. It is greatly to be desired that the city authorities should undertake the publication of all these early records.
Under the direction of the Secretary of The Holland Society of New York, Mr. Theodore M. Banta, and by the courtesy of his Honor, Mayor Van Wyck, a digest of all these volumes has been prepared, and we publish in the 1900 Year Book a Calendar of the cases before the Orphans Court, and a synopsis of the items in the books of the Notaries Public, Solomon La Chair and Walewyn Van der Veen. Next year we hope to publish an alphabetical index of all Grantors and Grantees, Mortgageors and Mortgagees, of real estate.
