The following document contains my 'Ahnentafel' or 'kwartierstaat'. Much work remains to be done, as always, but the files contain a lot of information for a start. I would be delighted to receive any material that you may have to expand this family tree and apologise to those who would have preferred to see the material in Dutch, but really wished to offer this genealogy in English.

 

Please note: the genealogies provided in the 'commoners' files are generally reliable and need not to be doubted too much, but the 'nobility' files display an increasing level of uncertainty when it comes to the earliest generations of noble medieval families as well as connections with antiquity. As a rule of thumb you could say that the noble genealogies should be taken cum grano salis prior to the 11^th century or so. In these instances the genealogies provided in the files are representative of tradition rather than 'proven' genealogy. Even such traditions, however, which are usually lifted from medieval chronicles, should not be dismissed too lightly, but should rather be maintained until disproved.

 

commoners' files:

 

generations 1-7 (born circa 1750 to present)

generation 8 (born circa 1720 to 1750)

generation 9 (born circa 1690 to 1720)

generation 10 (born circa 1660 to 1690)

generation 11 (born circa 1630 to 1660)

generation 12 (born circa 1600 to 1630)

generation 13 (born circa 1570 to 1600)

generation 14 (born circa 1540 to 1570)

generations 15-28 (born prior to circa 1540)

format

 

In this list the ancestors are numbered according to the common system. If x is someone's unique personal number and y the number of the generation, counting backwards in time, the following relation is defined: y = INT (²log x) + 1. You can infer from this formula that the first person in a new generation is always numbered y = 2^y-1, whilst you can easily calculate someone's father by taking 2x,  his mother by taking 2x + 1, and his or her child by taking INT (x/2).

 

For every person are given the full standard name with optional names between brackets (), spelling variations on those names between square brackets [], birth and christening data and place, professions, vocations, activities, residences, other matters of interest, decease and burial data, and marriages. All dates are given in Dutch style: 3-4-1976 means 3^rd April 1976 and not 4^th March 1976. Where two dates are given for birth or decease, separated by a slash /, the former is the actual date and the latter is the date of report at the municipality. All names of localities are in Holland, except when stated otherwise.

 

Colours are used to mark some features. In the 'commoners' files blue names are surnames other than patronymics, and in the nobility files blue names refer to the dominions over which the persons in case held sway. If any doubt exists about the correct lineage of an ancestor, I have coloured his or her data as well as that of all his or her ancestors red. Other colours than these denote alternative genealogies, in case more than one ancestor is given. Every line of descent in such an alternative genealogy receives a different colour.

In the nobility files it became necessary to resort to a universal set of standardised names in order to prevent having to sum up the same alternative versions of names ad nauseam. I have decided to take the expanded English forms of these names as the standards:
