Notes:

"The Albany Line," as the Joseph Janse line is referred to, was begun by Joseph Janse and his wife Seitje Marcelis Van Bommel, who were married in 1688. Having lived in Albany, New York, about 30 years, Joseph came to court on December 6, 1715 to become naturalized. Asked for his surname, he responded that he had never used one, but he was of the Santander family. From that time he is called Van Sant and Van Santen. The next generation changed it to Van Zandt and Van Zant.
-
Apparently Joseph mentioned that he was of Spanish descent. Though this is questionable, the tradition has continued in families through the generations and is a means of identifying members of the Joseph Janse line.
At the time of Joseph's immigration Spain was in possession of Holland, perhaps that is why he stated he was Spanish.
-
Joseph and Seitje had ten children. Their daughters: Jannetje, Anna, Maria, and two Celias. Their sons: Gerrit, Anthony, David, Gysbert, and Johannes. Of the three lines, Joseph Janse's line remained in the Albany area until well into the 1800s before some descendants started to move westward.
-
Joseph and Johannes are listed in the 1720 census of "freeholders" in the city of Albany, (1st ward).
