Hello all,

I have found a list of the children of Paulus Custers on the internet on a
variety of sites (they seem to repeat).

Does anyone have a source for these?

ch of Paulus Custers: (with dates of birth)
Johannes
Arnold
Matthys 1672 Kaldenkirchen, Rhineland, Germany (Christened 6/12/1672)
Reiner ABT. 1674 Kaldenkirchen, Rhineland, Germany (Christened 2/12/1674)
Margaret ABT. 1675 Germantown, PA (Phila.?)
Anna 26 DEC 1677 Kaldenkirchen, Rhineland, Germany
Elizabeth
Eve ABT. 1681 Kaldenkirchen, Rhineland, Germany
Herman
Catrin 9 MAR 1685/86 Germantown, PA (Phila.?)

does the 6/12 in 6/12 mean June 12th or 6 Dec, as well as does 2/12 mean Feb
12 or 2 Dec?

In addition, does anyone have a reliable source or even wild guess of what
happened to Elizabeth and Eve (one apparently married Godshalk Godshalk, it
appears to be Eve, but I have no proof) and what happened to Catrin? From
previous postings, it appears that there is no record of them emigrating,
but we are thinking now that they in fact did arrive and were just married
off early.

Michel
