Walter Noteboom, my 3rd great-grandfather, emigrated from the Netherlands on 28 June 1870. He was headed to New York to settle with family who were already living in the United States. His occupation at the time of emigration is listed as a skipper of a sailing ship, and his religion is listed as Dutch Reformed. He was one of three emigrants from the town of Winschoten in 1870.
