Currently the focus of this gallery is Wynkoop family members from the 17th through the early 20th century. I'm looking for portraits of family members from that time frame since they will be of interest to the most number of visitors possible. I would like to encourage you to consider adding portraits of your own ancestors to these pages. The facts in the family genealogies and histories are interesting in and of themselves, but a photograph of the people the stories refer to speaks volumes. Our ancestors were so much more than a bunch of old dates and dry facts.
Portraits bear the unmistakable stamp of their characters and the force of their personalities.
You won't find that in the pages of an old book. While the current focus of the gallery is the descendants of Cornelius Wynkoop and Maria Van Langedyck, I would be more than pleased to add portraits from the European branches of the family as well as portraits from the African American branches. We are family and I would like to see all our ancestors represented here. This is a project I hope will grow by leaps and bounds over the coming years. One final word.
