There are and were many Americans of Dutch origin. Martin van Buren, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, who were Presidents of the United States, actors Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, and Clint Eastwood, actresses Audrey Hepburn, Jane Seymour, and Meryl Streep, journalist Walter Cronkite, inventor Thomas Edison, musician Bruce Springsteen, Colonel Tom Parker, manager of Elvis Presley, golf player Tiger Woods, and aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright, to mention just a few.
The New Netherland Institute, housed in the New York State Library, offers students, educators, scholars and researchers a vast collection of early documents and reference works on America's Dutch era. Here's an index of many Dutch-Americans.
