Anna Van Vorst was the third child of Jacobus and Anna (Beck) Van Vorst, who married in 1728 in Schenectady. Baptism records for seven of their nine children are in the Schenectady Dutch church records.
Anna Van Vorst (1732-1789) and John Kemp (1723-1795) were married in about 1761 in Schenectady, and are my 5th great-grandparents. I am descended through their son John Kemp (1768-1861).

Hi Randy,
Shouldn't it be indicated somewhere in the citation (or perhaps a discussion of the citation) that this is an image of a transcript. Even then, we don't know whether it is a transcript of the original or a transcript of a transcript ....

Those U.S. Dutch Reformed Church Records have given me lots of info too Randy.
