On an unspecified date, several sailors appeared in person to give sworn testimony. They were Theunis Jansz van Langesond (gunner's mate), Mattheus Abrahamse from Amsterdam, Gerrit van Elten, Wouter Jansz, and Arnoud Jansz (all from Dort). They had served on a ship commanded by Captain Jacob Pietersz. The document was witnessed by Charles Mijnors and Hans W. van Kintswilder, and signed by Secretary W. Lamont.

The certification was issued by J. Jacob Beck, Director of Curacao and surrounding islands. The sailors swore under oath that their testimony was truthful, with God as their witness.

On July 11, 1670, Nicolaes Briaer, a notary in Amsterdam, delivered a message on behalf of Jacobus de Wilde to the house of Johannes de Renialio. The message concerned payment for a bond worth 4,000 guilders from the province of Holland and West Friesland.

On July 28, 1670, several witnesses appeared before notary Nicolaes Brouwer in Amsterdam:

• Jan Pietersz Pas, a 32-year-old coachman living at the Haerlemmer Plein
• Johannes van Kamp, a sculptor living on the Haerlemmerdijk
• Dirk Lodiwijcksz, a 33-year-old wagoner
• Dorathiea Augustus, widow of Philip Fredrick van Plato

They testified for stable master Hendrick Schondregh that in 1674-1675, toll collection for carriages was handled by Marten Cornelisz Boll and collector Claes Cornelisz Duijndam at the Haerlemmer gate only for vehicles exiting there.

On July 26, 1677, Trijntje Oten, widow of Jochem Jochemsz, appeared before notary Nicolaes Brouwer in Amsterdam. She acknowledged owing 700 guilders to Govert Teunisz and Annetje Barents, consisting of a previous loan of 100 guilders from June 10 of that year and a new loan of 600 guilders.

The text appears to be a shipping log from July 23-26 listing captains, ports, and cargo movements across Northern European trade routes. Notable captains included Allan Brigs, Hans Jacob Smith, Theophilus Schanke, and Peter Hansen. Ships traveled between major ports including:

• Copenhagen
• Danzig
• Rotterdam
• Stockholm
• Bergen
• Riga
• London

Common cargo included wood, wine, herring, and grain. The routes covered the Baltic Sea (Oostzee) region, with connections to Portugal and the British Isles. Several vessels were commanded by Scandinavian captains, suggesting strong Danish-Norwegian maritime activity. Some ships made multiple stops, particularly in ports like Elseneur and Gothenburg.

On May 2, 1738, several merchant ships arrived and departed from various ports. The ships transported different goods including barley, moist goods, timber, ashes, wheat, glass, malt, herring, tar, salt, and flax between ports across Northern Europe. Ships traveled between major trading cities including:

• Stockholm to Middelburg
• Amsterdam to Riga
• Copenhagen to Langesund

• Vlissingen to Rostock

Notable merchants and captains included Hendrick Visses, Samuel Akkerman, George Wedderburn, Dirk Sijbesfischer, Christian Bremmel, and Johan Riddel. By May 6, 1738, additional ships were recorded carrying cargo between Copenhagen, Iceland, Amsterdam, and Bergen. Trade continued with vessels transporting various goods between ports in the Baltic Sea region, Norway, England, and the Netherlands.

On March 29, 1614, a legal document was created in front of a notary. Jansz appeared for himself and on behalf of his brother-in-law Gerrit Evertsz. They appointed Pieter Cornelisz de Voost, who lived in Willen Stadt, as their children's uncle and representative. His task was to:

• Collect 53 guilders and 6 stuivers from Govert Jochemsz who lived in Clundeert, which he owed for delivered wood
• Claim 100 guilders plus interest from Jaques van Kessel who lived in Bergen op Zoom, which was owed to the children, Loveris Jansen, and Gerrit Evertsz
• Negotiate and make agreements with Van Kessel about this debt
• Issue receipts for received payments if necessary

The document was witnessed by Dirck Jansen Collert and Bavent Hendricxz at the notary's residence.

On May 9, 1795, Jacob Anthonij and partners, acting as creditors of Govert Jochemsz from Langesond, issued a receipt to Lambertus Thijm, who was the bookkeeper of the ship "Abraham Jacobus" captained by Dirk Boes.

This appears to be a shipping record dated August 3 (and August 1) listing various ship captains, their ports of origin and destination, and cargo. The captains included: Dirk Visser, Hendrick Haakman, Hans Pieter Vogelman, John Wilborn, Geele Fockes Keijler, Richard Lucas, and many others.

The text appears to be a ship's crew list from around 1055. The crew members were from various cities, mainly from the Dutch Republic. Here are the main crew positions and their holders:

• Joannes Lenderdsz from Rotterdam served as helmsman
• Jan Michielsz from Amsterdam was the boatswain

The crew was international, including men from Holstein, Stockholm, Hamburg, and other places. Most sailors were from Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Hoorn, Alkmaar, Utrecht, and The Hague. The list includes various other positions such as quartermasters, gunners, carpenters, and regular sailors (mates).

This appears to be a list of Dutch residents and their financial or legal records from a historical register. It includes several key individuals:

• Nicolaes Laij and Marritge Warnaerts
• Ecko Sijmonsz Groenhoven
• Pieter Pronck and Pieter Leendersz
• Philips Anthonisz and Philips Anthonis
• Steven Rieuwert who appears in legal documents on page 3
• Seeger Mol and Salomon Gerritsz who filed legal notices on page 6
• Thimotheus Gaeff who appears on page 4
• Thomas Bruijns and Thomas Thielroij

The document includes various monetary amounts, with one notable transaction of 106 guilders for stone chests. Many entries appear to be related to legal matters and financial records, with references to specific page numbers in official documents.

Several witnesses were questioned and gave testimony under oath in different religious ways. Gerard Leijdecker, Nathan Simonsz, Jacob Tjiem, Boesoek, Dirk Louijsz, Thomas Jansz, and Jannis Jansz took their oath in the Reformed and Catholic manner. Jan Vettu swore in the Roman Catholic way by placing his right hand on the Gospel of John. Other witnesses mentioned were Pannaij, Lauwt, and Coetjen, who maintained their original testimonies without changes.

On October 10, 1662, Joost Pietersz, a 36-year-old barge operator living in Amsterdam on Kattenburgh, appeared before notary Pieter van Buijten. He testified at the request of Annetje Fredricx, widow of Arent Jansz who had worked as a bombazine maker on the French Path. The testimony concerned Thomas Jansz, a ship's carpenter.

Joost Pietersz stated that about 8 weeks earlier, he had transported Thomas Jansz and other crew members to warships in the Texel. Thomas Jansz was supposed to work as a carpenter on Pieter Salamonsz's ship under a captain. When they arrived in Texel, Thomas Jansz spoke with the witness near the Vlieter. The witness firmly believed that Thomas Jansz fell overboard at night and had an accident. Despite searching and asking around in Texel, no one knew what happened to Thomas Jansz. A few days later, the witness brought news of Thomas Jansz's disappearance back to the harbor.

Several legal statements and testimonies were recorded in Amsterdam during June 1699. The main events include:

• Debora Collekoffer was detained in the city prison. In October 1698, she had stolen 34 silver buttons and a dress with white lining from someone's room.
• Jan Heijsten, her husband, had a false key which he claimed cost 18 stuivers, and had stolen 2 guilders plus approximately 40 guilders from a chest.
• Aeltje Vlissers, an adult woman from the waterfront, appointed her brother-in-law Jesar vande velde to represent her in legal matters and manage her property, including a house on the Spiegelgraft.
• Jan Stevens (aged 34) and Engeltje Jans (aged 43) testified about Soeke van Hengsel, who had served as a soldier on the ship Helmonde in 1676 and died in 1691 while working for the East India Company. They confirmed that his only heirs were his mother Dorothea Catharina Kramer (widow of Jan Focke) and his full sister Margriet van Lenge.

In 1694, Leendert Leendertsz van Leeuwen sailed to the East Indies as an assistant carpenter on the ship "Three Crowns" for the East India Company. He left his wife Engeltie Jans van Kousen and their two children in Amsterdam in a poor and destitute state.

On August 2, 1696, Jan Cornelisz Lankhaer, a rope maker, and Marij Swaanswijck, wife of Cornelis Cornelisz Lankhaer, appeared before notary Corn. van Leeuwarden in Amsterdam. They testified about Hendrik Jansz Harrison and his sons. The document clarified that Jacob Jobsz Lanshuijr and his brother were each entitled to receive 150 guilders from a will, though there had been some confusion about their names in the testament.

Lijsbet Harrison acknowledged receiving half of the 150 guilders inheritance from the Collegiant orphanage on behalf of her deceased son. The orphanage was located on the canal opposite the theater in Amsterdam.

In Amsterdam, around March 14, 1696, a legal dispute arose when Engeltie Jans complained that someone had falsely accused her husband Laurens Lambertsz van den broeck of stealing a sack of money about a month earlier. This accusation had caused Engeltie Jans such distress that she had suffered some physical symptoms. The accused person claimed they never made such statements and that it could not be proven. Later that same day, Jonas de Vooght, a broker in Amsterdam, acting as a legal representative for Jeremias Ysbrantsen and his wife Anna Maria Auxbrebis (through a power of attorney issued in Utrecht on February 26, 1696), sold and transferred a bond to three guardians: Adriaen Wittenburg, Cornelis Crappert, and Hendrick de Graef. The bond was:

• Worth 2,000 pounds
• Issued by the government of Holland and West Friesland
• Originally dated October 1, 1687
• Approved on June 28, 1688
• Originally in the name of Anna Maria Auxbrebis

The guardians purchased this bond on behalf of an underage child of van der Gaeg. The transaction was witnessed by Pieter Boommeester and Abraham Beuding.

This is a list of financial obligations (debts) from various dates in the late 1600s:

• On November 10 and 13, 1681, basket makers of this city owed 860 guilders
• On August 14, 1675, Aeltien Remmen owed 300 guilders

Between 1662 and 1683, several notable legal documents were created in Amsterdam. Eva Martijn filed her testament at position 26. Evert Benning and his wife's testament was recorded at position 37. Engeltie Laurens and Emilius Lorius and their wives filed documents at position 59. Elisabeth Paterson and her husband's testament was also at position 59.

Evert Switsen made a donation at position 15 and another document at position 116. Elisabeth Heenberg and her husband's document is recorded at position 122.

At an unspecified location in Amsterdam on 1626, a confrontation occurred between Engeltje and another woman. In dark conditions after a candle was knocked from a hand, Engeltje struck someone, believing it was her mistress. Engeltje threatened further violence and poor treatment. The incident was witnessed and recorded in the presence of David de Pommare and Gerrit van der Groe, who served as notary public.

In 1694 and 1695, several legal documents were recorded in Chaandyck and surrounding areas. These included:

• Multiple marriage contracts (testaments) between couples:
  • Elias Bogaert and Jenneke Somers
  • Jan Hendrick van Dun and Margriet Hoogen
  • Peter Hendrick van Dunen and Engeltie Jan Schram
  • Wouter Nicolaes Verheijden and Engeltie Adriaen Schrick
  • Willem Jan Smolders and Adriaentje Pieter
  • Adriaen Jan Adriaen Joosen and Cornelia Adriaen van Gils
  • Antonij Pr. Antonisse and Cornelia
  • Anthonij Jan Couwelaers and Maria Nicolaes Anthonissen
• Rental agreements:
  • Jan Wout Janssen rented property to Cornelis Jan Hendricx
  • Maria Geert Jans rented all her goods to Roeloff Geert Jans
  • Cornelis Hoorevoorts rented property to Peter
• Other legal documents:
  • A debt agreement between Jan Jan Goosen and Cornelis

On January 8, 1721, there was a business settlement between Philip van Minden and Isaac and Benjamin Italiaander. The balance showed 60,544 florins, 3 stuivers, and 2 penningen. After deducting bad debts of 20,997 florins, the total came to 40,576 florins.

If all outstanding debts had been good (except for the 20,997 florins in bad debt), the money would have been divided as follows:

• Isaac and Benjamin Italiaander would receive 21,688 florins
• Philip van Minden would receive 18,688 florins (his initial investment was 3,000 florins less than the Italiaanders')

Since January 1720, Philip van Minden's widow, Trim Mardochaijs Cohen, had received 4,217 florins from the company for household expenses and funeral costs. This amount would not be deducted from the 12,500 florins settlement.

Most of the capital was tied up in debts in Holstein and Jutland. Some of these debts were questionable, and some were to be paid in Danish currency, which could lose between 4% and 10% or more in value. The guardians therefore agreed to settle van Minden's share of 18,688 florins for 12,500 florins to the Italiaanders, especially since collecting the money from even good debtors could take a long time.

On July 1725, a legal notice was served through a notary and witnesses regarding several unpaid debts. The documents presented included bills owed by various individuals:

• Aron Bueno Bibes owed 9.1
• Rachel Berens Bibes owed 3.16
• Isaac Arias owed 3.16
• Samuel Cohen owed 32.34
• Saiel Sisaro had an assignment of debt
• Manniel de Soolis owed 28.16
• Aron Bueno Bibes had an obligation of 10.16

The total amount was 129.19. Despite efforts, Juda Abrahams had not received any payments from these debtors. Additionally, the late Lada Benjamin owed 77.10, and there was a further debt of 18.12 in Dutch currency (equivalent to 21.16 Surinamese currency). The total sum of all debts amounted to 228.19 Surinamese currency.

The document was witnessed in Amsterdam by Daniel van den Brink and signed by Adr. Baars.

In Amsterdam during March, several legal and business transactions took place. Claas Pieterse van Leeuwaarden and Juriaan Meijer established a power of attorney. Constantinus Christian Voites and his wife Elizabeth Cronenburg made arrangements with David Mendes dasilva. Carel Marchant and Jelle Cornelis agreed on a shipping contract.
