Needs Merge and Fixing [17 December 2014]

I think the following three families (and the connected individuals) need to be merged together:

• Family:Mattys Blanshan and Magdelen Jorisse (1)
• Family:Matthieu Blanchan and Madaleine Joire (1)
• Family:Matthieu Blanchan and Madaleine Joire (1)

I belive they are all the same family despite some differences.

My source of information about this is the following passage in History of Kingston, New York, page 472:

Matthys Blanshan, from Artois, embarked with his wife, Madeline Jorisen, and three children on the 27th of April, 1660, in the ship Gilded Otter for this country. On his arrival he came to Esopus. He subsequently moved to Hurley and followed his occupation as a distiller. Of their children Katryn married Louis Du Bois. Matthys married, March 30th, 1679, Mary C. Van Schoonhoven. Magdalena married, September 28th, 1667, Jan Matthysen Jansen. Elizabeth married, October 27th, 1668, Peter Cornelis Low.

I am pretty sure this is the family mentioned on this passenger list: http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nnship24.shtml

Also, the number of children seems to be a puzzle, as the family had three children with them when they came to the new world, but then more are mentioned (many more on one of the merge candidates).

Admin follow up [23 November 2016]

Maintenance note: Agree that all pages above needed merging from a database management standpoint, so they have been merged. Most, if not all, have no sources entered to back up any of the facts entered, so please enter your source(s) above on the appropriate pages and let's go from there. If later a merge is found to have been performed in error, the pages can be corrected at that time. Thank you, --cos1776 14:10, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks for sorting out those pages. I didn't feel I had enough expertise to sort it out (not enough genealogy expertise, that is... merging wiki pages and other things is something I do every day). I will gladly add references to all the information I had found. Thanks again! --Trentf 02:18, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
