Accountability

Civil Registers

The personal data are largely derived from Civil Registers with birth, marriage and death deeds. In addition, family cards found in Population Registers have been used.

For family members born after 1900, a lot of data have been taken from family advertisiments in regional newspapers.

The remaining gaps were filled in as well as possible on the basis of verbal information from near family members. These gaps largely concern marriages after 1930 and deaths after 1960. These data can not yet be checked with data from Civil Registers and for that reason might not be entirely correct. The missing data are marked with a ?-sign.

For privacy reasons, there are not presented data for persons who may be still alive. They are described in terms like Son, Daughter, Husband and Wife.

Distinguished branches

The family tree for the period 1800-1950 has 12 still growing branches with nearly 790 family members (excluding in-laws). All person living nowadys with the Van Bohe(e)men family name originate from one of the growing12 branches.

In addition there are 8 extinct branches with nearly 30 family members. These branches have no family members born after 1900. The reason is that male members die young, remain unmarried or have a childless marriage.

Still growing family branches

The fathers being atthe base of the still growing branches are mentioned in the following scheme.

Still growing branches of Van Bohe(e)men family.

All fathers are, roughly speaking, born in the period 1800-1820. Four of them are brothers. In addition, there are two cases of two brothers.

It is also worth mentioning that the first three fathers are Protestants and the other fathers are Roman Catholics.

At the top of the scheme is listed Johannes Barendse van Boheemen (1809-1879). He can be found in the family tree for the period 1650-1800 as a fifth generation son of Dirk van Bohemen. The other fathers in the scheme are listed in the family tree for the period 1650-1800 as fourth generation sons of Cornelis Dirksz. van Bohemen.

Johannes Barendse and some of his descendants work as sack porter in Dordrecht. That is why the family branch starting with Johannes Barendse has been labeled as the Dordrecht sack porter’s branch. The other family branches also have such a distinctive label. These labels only cover the reality for a certain amount.

The different labels vary widely. They illustrate that, around, 1850 the majority of the Van Bohe(e)men family works outside agriculture. Only the brothers Petrus Paulus, Nicolaas, Paulus and Cornelis are still in the footsteps of their family founder.

The right-hand side of the scheme shows for each branch the number of generations and the number of family members included. For example, the family branch of Johannes Barendse van Bohemen counts 4 generations with 85 family members (excluding in-laws).
