    *Through my Verplanck /Vigne (New Amsterdam) linage, Franklin D. Roosevelt is a distant cousin of mine. My ancestor, Maria (Vigne) married Jan Roos about 1631. Jan died about 1632. They had one son, Gerrit Jansen Roos (Franklin D. Roosevelt descended from this son). Gerrit's great-great-great granddaughter, Cornelia Hoffman, married Isaac Roosevelt in 1752 (FDR was their great-great grandson).

    In 1634 Maria (Vigne) Roos married Abraham Ver Planck (they were my 10th great-grandmother /grandfather).
