FROM ROTTERDAM TO THE WEST INDIES AND BRAZIL

In the online index of the notarial archives of Rotterdam we found the names of more than one thousand individuals, who were leaving for the West Indies and Brazil. Most of them were sailors and soldiers, who went to a notary just before leaving.

The date is that of the notarial document and if mentioned we also give you the place of origin, the profession of the individual and the ship he was sailing on.

You can find a short description of the notarial document if you go to:

http://appl.gemeentearchief.rotterdam.nl/na/extern/zoeken.cfm?app_route=8

Just put in the name [zoekwoord] and the year [jaar], click on -zoeken- and click on the icon to see the short description, with -volgende- you will get the next one. If you have trouble understanding the Dutch text, just email me [cor.snabel@gmail.com] and I can give you a short translation.
