Proposing adding a more detailed map which shows landowning families. Using the 2018-02-16 VilliagePreservation.org for input. Should the families be shown in the article text, on the map, both or neither?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 16

July - December 1643 1 Catalina Anthony 2 Domingo Anthony 3 Cleyn Manuel 4 Manuel de Gerrit de Rues 5 Manuel Trumpeter 6 Marycke 16 Anna d’Angola

December 1644 7 Gracia d’Angola 8 Simon Congo 9 Jan Francisco 10 Pieter San Tome 11 Manuel Groot

Note, due to map projection changes the proportions of the two maps are slightly different. Using the CRS WSG84 in this case which is modern practice for web-based maps. Comments on the approach? - DutchTreat (talk) 12:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are several more families to add. This is a work in progress. I am looking for feedback before investing too much time in it. - DutchTreat (talk) 09:41, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This looks really great to me, and I like the format you've uesd with the names in the caption. Probably the landowners should be article text as well, either this article or perhaps something like First Africans in New Amsterdam.--Pharos (talk) 15:12, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that sculptures evoking the first Africans were part of a 2005 New-York Historical Society exhibition.--Pharos (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer. As the caption suggests for the work of Deryck Fraser in the "Slavery in New York" exhibit, there are no photos and little information about these early settlers. - DutchTreat (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
