Any Dutch Powelsons out there ??
Since I posted my first ever message on 9/16/01 I am very disappointed that I have not heard from anyone who also felt they were of Holland Dutch ancestry because of the Powelsons departure from Holland in 1654...
Recently I was on a cruise in the Ditmarsen area (really the Keel canal) in Northern Germany not too far from Hamburg,Germany. Incidently,for those of ypu who wonder about the spelling etc,it is interesting to note that in the telephone booktoday in the town of Ditmarch there are 23 Paulsens the Germanspellingof the name. I have even more info but need to know there is some interest out there..
Best regards, PowelsonsBOB
