GENEALOGY
Albertse, Albertz, Albertsse, Van Garden, van Gerden and Albertsen...the names as they appear in the Baptismal Register, beginning 1682. (Old Dutch Church, Kingston, Ulster County, NY). Gysbert's name previous to 1684 is found in the records as Gysbert Alberts, but in a petition to the Governor, 1684, he signed his name Gysbert Van Garden, and since then he and his descendants have had the family name of VanGarden, now usually spelled Van Gorden. (From Rosenkrans Family in America, Hoes Baptismal Register contradicts this statement.)
Ancestor Line of Harriet Deuel
Gysbert VAN GARDEN, son of Albert Gysbertsen and Aeltje Wiggers, who came to Kingston from Heerde, a Province of Gelderland prior to 1660. (Gysbert had a sister, Lysbet.) He married Rachel Rosencrantz, daughter of Harmen Hendricksen and Maddeleen Dircks. Gysbert is said to have been a large land owner in Rochester. He owned in company with Alexander Rosenkrans, a mill property on the Peterskill. He was a Trustee of Rochester 1713-16, and died prior to 1720.
Their children were baptized Old Dutch Church, Kingston, NY and are listed below as recorded by Hoes. All the children were probably born Rochester (now Accord), Ulster County, NY. (Records indicate second child and several others born Rochester, NY.)

RESEARCHERS
David Obert Descends from Christianna Van Gorder (1788-1863) Her Line-Jacob, Jan, Hendrick, Gysbert, Albert.
Jennifer Wigchers Weber Our relatives descended from Rysum, Germany. Many of them had changed their name to Wiggers. Has a set of church records from Rysum.
According to Marco Wiggers of The Netherlands, "Heerde is a village in Gelderland (Provincie of) Holland." "Most of the "Wigers came fram Winterswijk in Holland. Their names were Wiggers from the beginning. All the people in Holland with the name Wiggers seem to come from Winterswijk."
