line is NOT proven, onlyspeculation at this point. All the evidence
points to a link but nothing can be found to prove this connection. This
information is provided only as aPOSSIBLE link and every effort is being
made to research this connection.Nothing in the records in New York
State or the early Dutch records of NewAmsterdam indicate a ship
manifest with Jeremy or Jeremiah Kittle/Kittel/Ketel on it. It is
possible that his father's name was Jurrian Kittle.

appreciation,
