Birth: Date: Abt 1594 Place: Frederickstad,Østfold,Norway[4]
Christening

Christening: Place: Frederickstad, , Denmark
Marriage

Andries married Jannetjen Jans and they baptized 3 children in Amsterdam from 1633 until 1641, at the baptism of the second child it's mentioned father went to the West Indies. He must have returned to Amsterdam, because in 1641 daughter Barber is baptized in Amsterdam, so perhaps after the Birth of Barber they all went to New Netherland ?
Andries Luycaszen married Jannetje Sebyns ca. ABT 1631, at Amsterdam, Nord Holland, Netherlands -no record in Amsterdam for this marriage and no baptisms for children of this couple in Amsterdam.

Note: No marriage and no baptism records of children in the Netherlands were found for a Jannetje Sebijns, it also seems incorrect because the children that were baptized in Amsterdam by Andries Luijcasz and Jannetjen Jans were baptized from 1633 until 1641. At the baptism of son Pieter it is mentioned father went to West Indies, this seems to correspondent with the trip he made in 1637 mentioned above, where he was mentioned as Andres Lucassen interpreter.
