HOME PAGE

Three modern-day familys, the YORKS, the YERKS, and the YERXA, are descended from the immigrant, Paulis JURCKXEM, who came to the Kingston area of New York, as a boy of about 12, in 1642 from Texel in the Netherlands. Paulis worked as a servant for the Michael JANSZ family for several years, and then, apparently, married a daughter of the JANSZ family, Christina (Styntie) JANSE. Paulis and Christina had at least five children, three girls and two boys, all born in the Kingston / Albany area.

There have been four other children ascribed to them in the IGI files: Hilletje-1661, Dirk-1666, Eegie-1668, and Christine-1670, but it has been determined, now, that these really are children of Paulus Pietersen & Tryntie Martens. These children were born in New Jersey at times that Paulus & Christina were still in the Albany, NY area, according to court records.
