"De Camp Genealogy: Laurent De Camp of New Utrecht, N.Y., 1664, and his Descendants" by George Austin Morrison, Jr. is a genealogical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the lineage of Laurent De Camp, a Huguenot emigrant who settled in New Utrecht, New York, outlining his descendants and the historical context of the family. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in genealogical research, particularly
regarding the Huguenot heritage in America. At the start of the book, the author expresses his motivation for compiling the genealogy of Laurent De Camp and highlights the challenges faced in accessing and preserving early records. The introductory section details the historical background of the Huguenot refugees in the Netherlands and their migration to America, emphasizing the difficulties in tracing lineage due to the variances in record keeping by Dutch clerks. Morrison indicates the importance of rectifying errors in the documentation of the De Camp family history, asserting that no evidence proves a familial connection between the De Camp and similar names like Van Campen.
