Early on the Frisian tribe migrated along the western coast of the country all the way to the south. I was born in scheveningen (The Hague). Most likely my ancestors have been there for many generations..<br /><br />Kindest regards vincent de VriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-82595372469500722032011-06-26T11:45:46.073-07:002011-06-26T11:45:46.073-07:00im from england my name is john de vries. ive been...im from england my name is john de vries. ive been looking in my ancestory. my grandad came from groningen in friesland. he left there in 1912 and went to london for the great exibition of london<br />my great great grandfather is jannes de vries they were farmers<br />some of my ancestors were noble farmers. hooft hynsdudens and du quesnoy and wersimas are family who hold famillewapen. with 3 pelicans. this was given to hold arms to protect the lord of the manor.go to google look at antojs.com / you might have trouble finding it. if so put. de vries weirsema bouwman and scroll to look for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-48005916337052523502009-07-19T01:52:15.708-07:002009-07-19T01:52:15.708-07:00Henk, you are wonderful!

The only thing is, the Egbert you show being baptized in 1770 was an older brother of "my" Egbert, born 1777. The first one probably died young and Berent and Ietske/Jitske named the next son born the same name.<br /><br />Thank you for your help. I keep forgetting that Tresoar now has pre-1811 church record indexes available and need to recheck all my Frisian lines to see what I can find.Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-32102402827327395272009-07-19T01:49:14.704-07:002009-07-19T01:49:14.704-07:00Hi, Kay B!

Is that your ancestor? The signature reads Been Egberts. You can see the scan <a href="http://www2.tresoar.nl/genealogie/naamsaanname/toonna.php?inv=29_37&mairie=Oudwoude&folio=19&verso=v&achter=ja" rel="nofollow">here</a> (Tresoar).<br /><br />Egbert, son of Berent Egberts, was baptized on 30 december 1770 in Westergeest.<br /><br />Been Egberts from Westergeest and Ietske Wijtses from Westergeest married 10 September 1769 in Oudwoude.<br /><br />Berend, son of Egbert Jarigs, was baptized 2 December 1742 in Westergeest/Oudwoude.<br /><br />Source is always Tresoar. Connecting these four facts is still speculative, of course, but probably provable.Henk van Kampenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702399918103350953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-40235897109743987602009-07-18T11:39:38.586-07:002009-07-18T11:39:38.586-07:00I'm researching DeVries/DeFries as well.
