The DeFriez family tradition is that the family was originally from the Netherlands, but moved to England in the 17th or 18th century.<br /><br />The Pettit family tradition is that the family was Norman or Huguenot. Not sure if either was true. They were in America by 1630.Amy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037263182287268748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446893552661887965.post-31992712529285327462015-09-12T15:09:01.364-04:002015-09-12T15:09:01.364-04:00Hi Amy:

Being Dutch myself, I was very much interested. I also have a blog with many genealogical subjects. One of my posts shows a survey of foreign genealogical blogs/sites showing Dutch origin surnames. The URL is http://www.patmcast.blogspot.com/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html. The idea is to try and establish contacts between people who have an interest in the same surname. There are numerous cases in The Netherlands where people emigrated centuries ago without leaving a trace in Dutch archives. With my blog I try to bring Dutch and foreign (mainly US/CAN) genealogists together.<br />Therefore, I like to have your permission to show your site in my a.m. blog.<br />I look forward to your reaction!<br />Kind regards,<br />Peter<br />*Dutch equivalents could be Petit (single t) and De Vries.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446893552661887965.post-65631872504858476182012-10-18T13:31:57.688-04:002012-10-18T13:31:57.688-04:00That would be great!

Many times when looking at Katie, both Paul and I have commented on her unusual eyes- and wondered how a little blonde, blue eyed cutie could have eyes that look oriental. I can't tell from the pictures if Katie's eyes match, but this may be the key to where Katie's unique eyes come from! Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839044597855346198noreply@blogger.com
