For additions and corrections, see Dorothy Ann Koenig (1933-2018), “European Origins of Adriaen Lamberts Smith and the Brothers Lanen Van Pelt,” (New Netherland Connections; Volume 4, Number 1; 1999, pages 1-12); the introduction reads: “Recent research in the archives of Gelderland, The Netherlands, and Limburg, Belgium, has established the origins of the Adriaen Lamberts Smith family as well as that of Mattys and Teunis Janszen Laenen Van Pelt, all of whom came to New Netherland aboard the ship Rooseboom in 1663. All three men were born in the Spanish Netherlands, and all three married and had their children baptized in Gelderland province. It has been possible to extend some ancestral lines to the 1500s. I am grate for the sustained support of Peter Nouwt, a professional genealogist in the Netherlands, and to Marc Philippe, a knowledgeable amateur in Belgium, for helping me to establish the fact presented here.”
