Books in Hendricks/x Ancestor Tales series

Hendrix family oral history told us that we had Dutch origins, but who were they? When and how did the arrive in the New World? To get back to the immigrants who first came to the New World, the founders of our family would take the help of Hendricks(x) researcher Marilyn Coalla and DNA evidence, supplied by brother Jim Hendrix. The Hendrix DNA project verified that we are of the "Frontier Hendricks(s)" family, and indeed Albertus and Helchey were our very own "Opa and Oma," our founders. This is their story, as told to my granddaughters Sarah and Grace Martin in 2009, after a visit to the Netherlands. My souvenir, a silver spoon, is the starting point of this tale.

Volume 3 of Hendricks/x Tales follows the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Albertus and Helchey Hendricks in the Susquehanna Region of Pennsylvania. Hendricks men were involved in the Cresap War, The Battle of Quebec, and the Battles of Saratoga and King’s Mountain. The author traces her own line, through a grandson of Albertus named John, who died in 1750 in Dover Township. What is the mystery to unravel? Is his father James, Sr., or Albert, Jr. of Albertus the founder? DNA doesn’t help!
