  • Comment: @Surowe:, you can WP:wikilink to another Wikipedia article, but you cannot cite a Wikipedia article as a footnote. That would be circular reasoning. I've fixed your two examples for you. Can you find any more news articles, or mentions in books, which you can use to cite facts about the society? That would help your case greatly, getting 4 or 5 strong citations from serious sources that prove the Society is something that's been analyzed and discussed.

Founded in 1895, the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames is a hereditary organization focused on the preservation and promotion the historical legacy of the seventeenth-century Dutch settlers of New Netherland.[1] [2] The Society sponsors emerging scholars researching New Netherland history.[3] Complementing an initiative by the Holland Society[4], the Society partnered with the New Netherland Institute (NNI) to promote the availability of online transcriptions and translations of all the original seventeenth-century New Netherland administrative records housed at the New York State Library and Archives.[5] The translation of these manuscripts contributed to an understanding of the impact of the Dutch on the founding of the United States of America and became the historical basis of Russell Shorto's book "Island at the Center of the World."

The Society commissioned a stained glass window documenting the Arrival of the Halve Maen located in the New-York Historical Society's Library. Another window donated by the Society is found in St. Marks Church in-the-Bowery to acknowledge Peter Stuyvesant's contribution to the New York City.[6] The Society donated its archives and a land deed framed with Peter Stuyvesant's pear tree to the New-York Historical Society.[7][8]

Members of the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames are female direct descendants of an ancestor who lived in New Netherland before or during 1675.
