The Suydam Family has such a rich history. All of us Suydam researchers can be fairly sure that we are all related in some way through Henrick Rycken. The Suydam History starts in Holland and then the immigration of Henrick Rycken to New Amsterdam (Manhattan). His four sons later changed their name from Rycken to Suydam to indicate the region in Holland they were from, which was "south of the dam".
