The searches do not permit soundex, and since there are dozens of varieties, I might have missed a few children.I did not find anything for the parents at Linlithgo.They would likely be baptized at one of the early churches (e.g., Albany, New Amsterdam, Schenectady).
The Brusie/Bresie/Brussies married into my Dyckman family.
