C.W. Bogart:note FDR said that he [FDR] did not know
where our immigrant ancestor CLAES MARTENSZEN came from--
BUT, he does not stipulate that he did not know where
our Roosevelts came from in HOLLAND and he [FDR] does
stipulate that the family tradition of the HYDE PARK
ROOSEVELTS is that the Roosevelts came from somewhere
near HAARLEM, NORTH HOLLAND [recorded in writing per
the 1938 Virginia Pearce Delgado interview with FDR
FDR Library PPF 73].This is THE ORIGINAL-genealogical
knowledge we Roosevelts had about ourseleves from the
time arrived in New Amsterdam thru to cousin FDR's
said statement.Then from about 1920 thru to the
present we table THE ORIGINAL ignoring it with our
new cradle now being Oud-Vossemeeer, Tholen, Zeeland,
in the south of HOLLAND.A location that the family
genealogist, himself an assideous student of genealogy
and a repository of family genealogy, cousin President
Franklin Roosevelt repudiated as being "thought up by
someone to attract tourists off the beaten track".
This whole Oud-Vossemeer, Tholen, Zeeland-business is
contrary to THE ORIGINAL-genealogical knowledge possessed
by the HYDE PARK BRANCH of we ROOSEVELTS and is contrary
to what cousin President Franklin Roosevelt said about
where our Roosevelt-"family" came from which is near
HAARLEM, NORTH HOLLAND.Respectfully, Gregory Thompson,
a ROOSEVELT-descendant, my 7th-great grandmother is
ANNA MARGARIET ROOSEVELT m. Heyman Aldertse Roosa my
7th-great grandfather, she is the daughter of our
said immigrant ancestor CLAES MARTENSZEN van ROSENVELT/
ROSENFELT.
