From The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record. Vol. 115 Oct. 1984 , number 4 "The Dutch Ancestry Of The Van Borkello Family In Early Kings County, New York; In The Netherlands" p. 196 "The Geesteren DRC records commence in 1652; it was therefore not possible to obtain the baptismal dates for Willem and Harmen. However from various entries found in the baptismal and marriage records a fair idea could be formed as to other relatives, brothers and sisters, of these men, children of Jan Lubberdinck and Jenneken Aelinckhave:"

They came from the small town of Borculo in the province of Gelderland in what was formerly the County of Zutphen, and hence assumed the name of Berckelo (Barkelo). Lubberdinck is a farmstead on which they resided for several generations. It is located southeast of Geesteren. When they came to America, this very local name was superceded by van Borculoo.

From research done by Helen Barricklow Endecott and her brother Rex Barricklow in 1964: There were two pioneers in New Netherlands, Willem Jans van Barkelo, (who had already lived in New Netherlands) with brother Harmon Jans van Barkelo emigrated on the ship De Trouw (The Faith) sailed from Holland March 24, 1662. They came from the town of Borculo in the province of Guelderland. Harmen Jans brought wife Willempje Warnaers and 2 children, 5 and 3 years old. He died at New Utrecht (now Brooklyn) New York , will dated November 12, 1694. At leat 5 children were born to Harmen Jans; 1) Jannetje born 1657, 2) Reyneir born 1659, Harmen born 1662, Jan and Willem (no birth dates). Harmen Jans widow, Willempje Warnaers married Hanse Harmenson and they had at least 2 children; 1) Tryntje Hanse born 1672 and 2) Annetje Janse born 1674.
