The land next to where the
Brooklyn Bridge meets Manhattan, in the photo above, was once owned by my 10th-great-grandfather,
Philippe Du Trieux. I was able to walk through this area after finishing meetings at the United Nations on 16 August 2017. I walked from Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge. While I had written about
Philippe's life in the Netherlands, I have spent little time recounting his life after departing
Amsterdam in 1624. I will have a post on his life as the court messenger in New Amsterdam in the near future.
