Mr. Gehring,
My name is John A. Lartaud and I live in New Jersey. I again watched the program on Ch. 13 Dutch New York. I have been trying for many years to find a photograph of a portrait of Peter Stuyvesant’s half sister Margaret. She is my GGG –grandmother. She apparently had a affair with I think it was Balthazar DeHeart after her husband never returned. Do you know where I can find a painting or reproduction of Margaret? Thanks, John
