Immigrants (to the Americas) registering their names?

Legg inn av Chris Shearer Cooper » 22 okt 2007 03:42:47

In "The Old Farm" by Andrew Mellick, he describes the immigrant family
"going to the State House to fulfill the first duty of all newly arrived
foreigners, the registering of their names with the secretary of the
province."

My ancestors arrived in New York in 1695, probably from Holland ... would
this have been true for them? Do those records still exist somewhere? Or was
this a mistake on the author's part?

Thanks!

Chris
