The Wynkoop Genealogy in the USA is related to the European Wijnkoop Genealogy through Cornelius Wynkoop who emigrated in 1651 from Wekerom in the Netherlands. American genealogical reasearch is mainly based on 'Wynkoop Genealogy in the United States of America' by Richard Wynkoop, 3rd edition, Knickerbocker Press, New York, 1904. More information about this book and how to order a first class facsimile copy of it on RWG3. And you can read more about my idea, dream and hope of putting together a new and extended web version of this book.
In the meantime, the number # 1 source on the internet for contemporary Wynkoop genealogical research is no doubt the web site of Christopher Wynkoop, the number # 1 Wynkoop genealogist in the USA, at:
The Wynkoop Family Research Library
Visit Chris' site and make sure you have enough time to read all of
the well over 400 pages!
He has been sort of off genealogical duty temporarily but is hoping
to go for it again soon.
