Some names appear to crop up regularly in the research over time.
But it also happens that we are approached by someone who recognizes his family in the data we have published.
And if that person provides interesting data, that can be a reason to search further.
This is how the large Molenaar lineage came into being because we received interesting material from the USA, for example.
Because we want to give our visitors the opportunity to also view a number of smaller lineages, we have created this page.
When working out the Molenaar lineage we found an error which resulted in a group of Molenaar that has been separate up until now. There is a chance that this can be linked to the large Molenaar lineage at some point, but until then we will put it here.
Els looked up some family information for a friend. We discovered that these people were connected to our own family file here and there. But also to the Molenaar lineage above.
The name Koldenhof is linked to the Van Beek family in several places.
The name modderkolk is linked to the Van Beek family in several places.
Bezig met Molenaar kwamen we de achternaam Aafjes tegen. The question was whether this would also be family of the writer Bertus Aafjes. The answer is YES.
The name Kreeft is also connected to the Van Beek family.
The name Smit is also connected to the Van Beek family.
The Smolders family is connected to the Koers family.
The name Van den Anker is linked to the koers family in several places.
This family once took the name van Beek. Originally it was a branch in the family tree of Els. It was a Van Beek family that had other ancestors than the common ancestors of Els and me. But in June 2024 a connection was made to families that also appear in the family tree of me (Wim). When helping a genealogist friend in Twenthe, I found a link between his and this Van Beek family in his research. This connection runs via Twente/Achterhoek (including names Geukes and Klanderman) and ultimately ends up with me via my grandmother Van Beek - Dieperink.
This family is one out of four Koers families in the Netherlands.
