Dirck Storm

An excerpt from Old Dirck's Book by Raymond H. Storm c. 1949 Appendix p341-345 Storm Family in America 1662-1917 by Louis P. DeBoer,A.M.
Note from Raymond Storm on Louis P. DeBoer p20
"Louis P. de Boer, a Dutch genealogist who fled to this country during the first World War. To him must be given credit for the research on which this portion of "Old Dirck's book" is based. In Dutch the name means"farmer" - or "of a farmer". Like so many other families, Mr. de Boer's antecedants were doubtless rooted deep in the soil of Holland. He possessed an A.M. degree earned in a Dutch university, and although his English was scarely idiomatic, his records thus far checked by others through American archives have been found to be accurate without exception."
