ARTICLES
The articles below in the magazine Ons Voorgeslacht contain the results of a research into family members born before 1600. This has resulted in an extension of the family tree by six generations, plus a number of later family branches not yet known. The ancestor of this was born around 1430.
Furthermore, a number of hypothetical ancestors have been depicted who were born around 1320.
Everything is extensively substantiated with source references in the form of more than 400 notes.
