The families RYKER and RIKER have been well researched back to 1638, when the first Ryker-Riker ancestor to set foot in America, ABRAHAM RYCKEN, emigrated from Holland and settled in New Amsterdam (present-day New York City) with his wife, GRIETIE HARMENSEN. It must be noted that RYCKEN is not truly a surname; but rather the possessive form of RYCK, which is one of the Dutch equivalents of our English name \Richard\. |
