Unfortunately, the Isaac De Friez you refer to, 2T54-DG7 has had no sources added. It helps us all when we add sources to the entries in the Family Tree. It certainly looks like this is the entry used to give the christening date shown. Thank you.

I found an Isaac baptized on Aug 31, 1695, in the Noorderkerk in Amsterdam, for whom a source exists on film on-line. The Noorderkerk was a Protestant church at the time, so I don't know whether he was Jewish or not. He may have been baptized, because other religions were suppressed. I'm not that good with that part of history, so this is just guessing.Enno Borgsteedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212823867293147091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-68569692355853026872016-04-13T13:15:26.903-07:002016-04-13T13:15:26.903-07:00Since a DNA test for you is probably going to show...Since a DNA test for you is probably going to show some fraction Danish and the rest from England/Wales/Ireland/Scotland, the most interesting bit, as you note, would be whether it does show anything about the Defriez line.
