GENEALOGY
If you are a Dyckman Family member conducting research on your roots or just someone interested in
the story of the Dyckman family, there are a few resources that might be of help.

Ancestry.com
We are building a Dyckman Family Tree on Ancestry.com. Documents such as census records and
obituaries as well as photos are gradually being linked to people on the tree. If you already are an
Ancestry.com member you will be able to view the family tree. Once the tree is a bit more complete we
will have a pdf of it available on our website.

Look for a copy of Jan Dyckman of Harlem and his Descendants by H. Dorothea Romer and Helen B.
Hartman (NY: Private printing,1981). It is an excellent source for information on the family, but it is very
difficult to find. If you can be patient, you are welcome to email info@dyckmanfarmhouse.org with the
full name and date range for your family member and we will look them up -- there is a small staff here
so we do ask for patience.
