answered by Ellen Smith G2G Astronaut ( 1. Some of the other sources mentioned on the pages I linked above may have other relevant content. The rootsweb page cited on the profile has some citations to research articles that could be consulted, if you have access. This man supposedly was baptized and married in the Hackensack Dutch Church, so his records ought to be in the sources identified on this page. The usual first step is to look for church records and make sure they are documented in the profile. It is important to have primary sources on WikiTree (secondary sources like rootsweb pages unfortunately are often found to have serious errors). If the church record from 1695 is the earliest record that includes this mans last name, then Odel (the spelling in that record) is his LNAB. See Project:New Netherland Settlers for details. This profile cites only one source, a rootsweb page that appears to have credible content, but does not identify its author and does not cite sources for the specific information on it. Regarding the LNAB, the New Netherland Settlers Project applies the WikiTree naming conventions rather strictly. This material was posted for the benefit of members, and I encourage you to become familiar with it.
The project has posted extensive information on policies and sources on project pages, including (but not limited to) Project: New Netherland Settlers, New Netherland Settlers Project Reliable Sources, Baptism and Marriage Records of Reformed Dutch Churches of New Netherland, and Primary Sources for New Netherland. You do not, however, need a project badge to edit these profiles. I regret that I am way behind in granting New Netherland project badges. I am adding a project box to the profile to clarify that.
However, since his life events apparently were recorded in a Dutch church, it looks like the New Netherland project is the logical one to deal with his profile. This person was a member of a Huguenot family who lived in the New Netherland area, so there are at least two potentially relevant projects. It extended from Albany, New York, in the north to Delaware in the south and encompassed parts of what are now the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Delaware. Thank you for asking about project policies and guidance, James. 1651-1655 New Netherland was the first Dutch colony in North America.
