De Wal was the end of the city of New Amsterdam indeed, but it doesn't mean nothing had been built outside during the Dutch legal reign. Peter Stuyvesant, for example, had his mansion outside and many more mansions were on Manhattan. Maybe interesting to find out if traces are to be found of it? Thank you for your nice video!
I’m doing some genealogy research. I have discovered that I have A LOT of Dutch ancestry. The furthest I could find (so far) is a Peeter Godertsen (born 1485) although he didn’t come to the colonies. I see Hendrickx, Vermilyea, Jacobs, Jans, Jacobus, Kijs, Huybertse, Schilling, Voight….and there’s more.
We're likely 10th or so cousins. That's the majority of my ancestry, NYC/New Netherland, Ft Orange, Albany, and Kingston. My ggggg-Grandfather, Col. TenBroeck built the old New York Senate house in Kingston, NY.
If you get over to Staten Isl, my grandfathers home is there and is the oldest building on the island (1661) and the 4th oldest in NY state. It’s called the Billiou house as that’s how the Dutch spelled and recorded it. I’ve never been to it but it’s on the bucket list. Grandpa Pierre was a magistrate and was referred to as Pierre the Walloon and traded notes at the buttonwood tree on what is now Wall Street
Naut Assendelft I have been told many things over the years. Pierre came from Artois and it is believed the French version was Belleau or very close to. I am under the understanding it means Beautiful Water or Holy Water depending on who you listen to and how far back they go with an unwritten oil language.
My roots are New Netherland Dutch (TenBroeck. Eckerson, Wynkoop, Tenyck, Van Rensselaer, Kellenaur) and Pennsylvania Dutch/ Deutsch (Heintz, Struedlen, Wohler). I had my Y-DNA tested, and they said R1B-U106 is often referred to as "the Dutch Haplotype". I have to be the least "Germanic" looking guy ever, oddly, with dark brown hair, and Asian-ish eyes. People used to think I was Asian. I was actually happy to see that Ace Frehley from the band Kiss is also German & Dutch, and the other members of Kiss initially though he was Asian! Perhaps we both have some Hunnish DNA way back, as is not rare in Northern Europe. Sorry to ramble - way too much "coffee".
@@markvanderknoop131 Well, the French knew. Wikipedia: The first European visitor to the area was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian in command of the French ship La Dauphine in 1524. He named the area Nouvelle-Angoulême.
Sadly that isn't true. People like me, with roots in New York and Pennsylvania do, and people who read history and don't spend all of their time looking at porno; but that's not most people!
The English captured Nieuw Amsterdam during a war. The Dutch recaptured it a couple of years later. After the war both sides agreed that Britain would get Nieuw Amsterdam (a quite minor low profit colony) and the Dutch republic would get Suriname and the Run islands in Indonesia (2 highly profitable colonies). I know it sounds strange in modern times. But the Dutch got the better deal.

I didn't like this video - not sure why. For one thing (for sure), she says the square was a bar, and sits right next to where there is a glass panel in the sidewalk that looks straight down into part of that building, that remains under the sidewalk (I only know this from a different video) - but she makes NO mention of it! All those shots of her, her face, her hair, etc, etc, - buildings that are just NYC buildings - and NO mention of an actual architectural relic that is visible from the sidewalk! I just found this whole video irritating and very light on actual information.
Walloon speaking magistrates met under a buttonwood tree and traded future rights to grains etc to fill ships going to Europe. The Dutch people were working class typically and many were indentured servants. The Waal people dressed different, spoke an unknown language when amongst themselves and didn’t work. They drank coffee and smoked and traded future commodities.
@@casquehunters-treasurehunt4501 yeah, Walloon/Waals is another language, but it's spoken in the nowadays French-speaking part of Belgium: Wallonië/Wallonia. The other, Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, is Flanders/Vlaanderen. They to have a language: Flemmish/Vlaams, which is closely related to Dutch. But, as M.L. van Zoen said, both Flanders and Wallonia where once part of the Netherlands.

My Great Grandma on my Mother’s side of the family was part Dutch and born & raised in New York
I have Dutch and Mohawk ancestry from New York. My Dutch ancesters settled in New York in 1637
That is a really fascinating mix! Thanks for sharing.

Do you know what it means because Billiou doesn't mean anything in Dutch. it's also not a common name or anything,

@@casquehunters-treasurehunt4501 in french belle eau would mean beautiful water, but it doesn't look like it means something in dutch
Ewout Schokker it doesn’t because it’s not Dutch. It’s Walloon

Correction Native Americans discovered Manhattan Island first not the Dutch.
They forgot to bring the news too the other site of the ocean so we didn't know.

What a lovely lady! :-)
I thought that the English bought it from the Dutch and the Dutch got Suriname.
No the Dutch wanted to keep new Amsterdam but the English army was bigger so they kinda ‘politely’ asked us to get out
The English captured Nieuw Amsterdam during a war.
The Dutch recaptured it a couple of years later.

Walloon, The Waal (EN) = Wallonië (NL), French speaking part of Belgium. But Belgium was once part of The Netherlands.
M.L. van Zoen Walloon is a language and a people.

Erik Versteeg Wallonia is named after the people who spoke Walloon there. Walloons are everywhere.
