Hello, I'm Valerie Tilton from Florida. My great-grandfather was Richard Renselar Van Fleet.  His brother was James Alward Van Fleet.  I am planning a trip to Amsterdam in July and was interested in my Dutch heritage. Thank you for this wonderful project!

Hello. I'm Rhyan Romaine (pronounced like "Ryan") and would love to join the Netherlands project. I have Dutch ancestry on both sides of my family including:

• Father's paternal side -  I am descended from Claes Jansen Romeyn, a New Netherlands settler
• Father's maternal side - my great-grandfather, Cornelius Buikema, emigrated from Groningen to New Jersey, USA in 1888
• Mother's paternal side - my great-grandmother, Jeanette Louise (Derricks) Wells, emigrated from Gelderland to New Jersey, USA in 1897

I know little about my Derricks/Dericks and Buikema sides and am most interested in learning more about those branches. Please let me know how I can be helpful!

With thanks,
Rhyan

Hi I would like to join the Netherlands Project, I am a first generation Canadian with Dutch parents, both from Noord Holland. So far I have been working on recreating my own tree and connecting up those I recognize as being on it, but I am coming up on the 1700s so I just got the tag for that. I would also like to join Team Noord Holland as most of my relatives are located there.

Hi L. de Jong.  Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  Feel free to ask for help with Dutch research or WikiTree formatting

Dear all,

After working for 25 years on my (99% Dutch) family tree, I think the time has come to publish parts of it online, and I have chosen for wikitree as I aim for high quality. Also I have seen many wrongly attributed parents, or undocumented parents in online genealogies during that time, which are often repeated many times at different places, which makes it hard to comment on them. Having one single tree therefore appeal to me. I also like the idea of building something together and being part of a community.

As I have a lot of pre 1500 ancestors in my database, which are more interesting to research, of course also a driver is that I need to get my pre 1700 and then pre 1500 certification.

Lastly, some of my brick walls are ancestors that immigrated to the Netherlands from another country, so an international community might also help me there.

After spending a day adding some after 1700 ancestors, I have already a (beginners) question: Where do you put the sources pertaining to marriages? Do you have to add them to both partners separately? Or did I overlook a button?

---

Hi Anonymous Boshuizen,  (welcom again)

If you want to be part of the project you could better answer this post (in stead of the comment you made on previous comments, because that would be easier noticed. (you can change your comment into an answer)

And yes unfortunately, you have to add the sources of both marriages to both spouses. There's no other option.

---

Hi Margreet, (and also hello again)

Yes I would like to be part of the project, can I consider myself a member by having send this E-mail, or is more needed?

Best,

Hendriek

Hi Boshuizen

I've awarded you the Netherlands Project badge.

Thanks Coen

Answer 1

hi there, as South African living in the Netherlands, it makes sense to join the Netherlands project too.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  Let me know if you need any help with your ancestors from the Netherlands.

Answer 2

I have been using Wikitree for about a year now and have entered profiles for my family tree back up to 1700.  It really is fascinating how people in the tree are (inter)related.  I'm interested in joining the Netherlands project, and learning more about reliable sources.  Also, I want to create profiles pre-1700.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  There is a page that lists lots of reliable sources here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Netherlands_Project_Hulpbronnen  currently only in Dutch.

Answer 3

Hi,

I'll be working on adding the lineage of the ancestors for Jacob Bezemer - WikiTree Profile 

We do have a full family tree dating back to 1300 so just adding the names would be easy. However we don't want to add any pre 1700 names without citing the sources, so it can be verified. so it will be quite some work. 

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.

It would be good if you add sources to all profiles created, not just pre-1700.

Are you aware of the One Name Study Beismer, which includes the Bezemer name as a variant?  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Beismer_Name_Study

Answer 4

Hello. I would like to join the Netherlands Project. All of my paternal ancestors came from Groningen (Adorp) or Friesland (Menaldumadeel). I have 15 years experience researching those provinces. I am currently filling out my tree on WikiTree.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  Let me know if you have any questions

Answer 5

Hi, I would like to join the Netherlands Project. I've been researching my husbands and my own familytree for 12+  years. I've worked at the Gelders Archief for the last 21 years. I've been busy adding my familytree here at Wikitree. Lately I've been trying to connect profiles on the "unconnected profiles list" for the Netherlands. I'm getting to parts where i'll need the pre-1700 Self-Certification. So that's why I'm here, so I can ask if certain profiles already exist.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands project.  There is a Netherlands Connector group that looks to connect those unconnected profiles. They have a channel on the Netherlands Project discord server where they post updates and communicate. Link to join is in a pinned message the Netherlands Project channel on the WikiTree discord server

Answer 6

I would like to join the Netherlands Project.  My Casteel,  Dutch du Castel, lived in the Rotterdam and Amsterdam areas in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.

Answer 7

I'll join the netherlands project..

My recent familytree is around Rotterdam. I am adding the victims of the 1940 Rotterdam bombing to WT. I have some problems getting a new sticker for that event.

Peter

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  Did you make a G2G post for your requested sticker?

---

I did apply for a new sticker for civilian casualties in conflicts. Some support, but the majority of the community seems to be based outside Europe and therefore have never been in a war zone or be occupied. My latest attempt gets some support. Lets hope for the best

Answer 8

Ik kijk er naar uit om kwalitatief goede bijdragen te leveren aan de Nederlandse tak van WikiTree. De meeste profielen uit mijn familie archief vind ik nog niet terug op WikiTree, dus ik help graag mee om dit verder uit te bouwen!

Comments

Welkom bij het Netherlands Project. Kwalitatief goed onderzochte Nederlandse profielen zijn altijd welkom.

Answer 9

Greetings

[struwig-138|Keith Struwig] South African de facto amateur family genealogist. Cape Dutch ancestor of [Struywig-1] from Groningen and his father possibly Claas Struijk. I would now like to explore earlier generations.

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project. Let me know if you have any questions about the project. If you have a Netherlands genealogy question post it in G2G with the Netherlands tag.

Answer 10

Hi, I'd like to join the project, please. I'm primarily working on Jewish families, and Frank Polak's family. I'm fortunate to have his memoir, which I'm working on reading with my tiny bit of Dutch and some translation tools. (edit, actually Frank wasn't an active Wikitreer, it's his relative Jerry van Kooten who is)

Comments

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  If you need further translation help, make a post in G2G and tag it Netherlands

Thanks so much, will do!

Answer 11

Hoi, Ik zou graag aansluiten bij het Netherlands Project. Ik ben sinds mijn 12e (nu ben ik 25) bezig met stamboomonderzoek. Vooral van mijn eigen familie, maar af en toe doe ik ook een onderzoekje voor aangetrouwde familieleden of vrienden. In mijn offline stamboom staan nu ruim 11000 mensen, die ik langzaam maar zeker (met bronnen) naar WikiTree wil kopiëren. Verder ben ik van plan om een One Place Study te doen naar Kerkwerve (Zeeland), waar de familie Bij de Vaate vandaan komt.

Comments

Welkom bij het Nederland Project.

Answer 12

Hello,

I am the grandson of  Dutch/Frisian immigrants to the US: Jan Baukes Baukema and Tjistke Innes (or Ennes) de Jong.  Married 1906 in Gaasterland.  He is from Oldemirdum and she is from Nijemirdum in Gaasterland.  Their birth and marriage records are indexed on allefriezen.nl (formerly Tresoar.nl and before that the Provincial Archive in Leeuwarden).  I assume the data from this source is OK for wikitree.  I would like to join this project and the Friesland sub-project.

Welcome to the Netherlands Project.  

Do you use Discord?  If so you will get access to the #netherlands-dutch-project and a pinned message in that channel has a join link to the Netherlands Project Discord server.  There are channels on there for the sub-projects.

I cannot seem to connect to this

To the WikiTree discord server, the #netherlandsd-dutch-project channel or the Netherlands Project Server?

I see you joined the WikiTree server today, sometimes it takes a little while before you get all the channels
