Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Blauvelt families who came mainly from England and Holland. Some focus is on (but not limited to) descendants of Gerret (Gerritt), the son of Hendrick Gerryts of Deventer, Holland. Gerret sailed from Texal in 1637, and settled in Rensselaerwick and then later at Schenectady in New Amsterdam or New York. Gerret married Marretje Moll, and later was known as Garret Hendrickszen de Blau Boer (or Blaauboer) which meant "the blue farmer". Their children acquired land called the Tappan Patent (now known as Rockland County, New York.) These children included Hendrick Gerretse Blaauwveldt and Johannes Gerretse Blaauwveldt (meaning "Blue field"). The surname was later Anglicized to Blauvelt. During the 1800's, some Blauvelt progenitors migrated to Ontario (Canada), and to Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Nebraska. Later descendants and relatives also lived in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan (Canada), Chile, Germany, Holland, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
