Re: Hardemans (20,19th century) Belgium, Net

Ward, my HARDEMAN line has been in America since 1712 when JOHN HARDEMAN was born in Virginia. I am anxious to learn where his father was born.It is written that his trade was as a cooper.I have been in contact and visited with Hardeman researchers in Holland but have not found the link to America yet.Copperage was certainly a big business in the early days and there are so many people with the name HARDEMAN in Holland.Do youhave in information concerning families by the name coming to America around that period?I will be grateful for any assistance.
