• Name	Pieter CARSTENSEN
  Birth	Abt 1605	Norstrand, Schleswig-Holstein
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef 14 Oct 1660	, , East Indies   [2]
  Notes	!Biography: Pieter Carstensen was born about 1605 on the island of Norstrand or nearby at Husum in Schleswig-Holstein. Coupled with the name of his father,Carsten or Kersten, and the fact that his children were baptized in the Lutheran Church in Amsterdam, it would seem that a German, Frisian or Danish origin is probable. It is uncertain when Pieter Carstensen came to Amsterdam, possible as a child with his father, though no record of the latter has been found there. At his fist marriage in 1623 he had no parents living, at least not in Amsterdam and was an apprentice shoemake living onthe Goutbloemtraet in Amsterdam. He married first Trijntje Thijssen with intentions dated February 18, 1623, at Amsterdam. She was born about 1605 on the island of Nordstrand off of the coast of Schleswig-Holstein, probably the daughter of Thys Cornelisz and Colcken Laurens. She died between 1628 and 1654 and may be the woman of the same name buried September 9, 1635 in the Karthuisers Kerkhoff. Pieter married second July 14, 1654 in the Nieuwekerke at Amsterdam, Geesje Jans, born about 1632 at Norden in Oost Friesland, the daughter of Jan Doets and an unknown wife. He was by then an innkeeper on the Palmdwarstraet in Amsterdam. Geesje was living at Amsterdam on the Palmwaerstraet at the time of her marriage. Pieter was probably buried September 21, 1659 in the Karthuizers Kerkhof in Amsterdam. !Source: New York Genealogica and Biographica Record, July 1999, "Parentage of Pieter Pietersen Ostrander and his Sister Tryntje Pieters," by Christopher Brooks.
