De Camp Genealogy: Laurent De Camp of New Utrecht, N.Y., 1664, and his descendants

"De Camp Genealogy: Laurent De Camp of New Utrecht, N.Y., 1664, and his Descendants" by George Austin Morrison, Jr. is a detailed family history tracing the descendants of Laurent De Camp, a Huguenot immigrant who made his home in New Utrecht, New York, back in 1664. Written in the style of the early 1900s, it acts as a guide, for those seeking to learn more about family trees, concentrating on the Huguenot influence in America. The book opens with the writer sharing why he wanted to put together the family tree of Laurent De Camp, explaining it was hard to get to and keep old family details. The start of the book gives historical information about the Huguenots who escaped to the Netherlands and then moved to America, mentioning the problems in following family lines because the Dutch clerks kept records in different ways. Morrison shares why it is important to fix mistakes in the written history of the De Camp family, asserting that no information connects the De Camp line to similar names like Van Campen.
