The generationsYou will have to be patient for the detailed story. My book consists of more than 600 pages which I do not want to share with just anyone. Hence the enumeration of the generations. I don't know yet whether I still want to "publish" the book. For now, the book only goes with my children. Additions: 20-12-2020 supplemented with some dates and brief information. 2-3-2022, the link from generation 5 to generation 6 has not yet been definitively proven. Do you have a lead, proof? I would love to hear from you. With thanks to the much information obtained from the Land Registry books of Anton C. Zeven.

Kind:

Adriaan van Wijck

1585 Adriaan van Wijck Adriaan is a church warden. Cornelia is daughter of Claes van Ratingen. The conclusion has been drawn because she later lives in Claes' house. Claes is also a church warden. Erntgen remarried in Rhenen with Bernt Wesselsz. The 'van Ratingen' family has a coat of arms.

Adriaan van Wijck X Merritien van Crackouw, Jan van Galen must say aunt. Married to Maria van Crackouw from brother Carel Carlszn van Cracouw and Anna Hermensdr van EnsAdriaan is Kerkmeester. His children marry interesting names such as Abraham van Son (later a separate piece about him), noble family Junius, van Keppel, Du Rieu, van Issum, genus Meregnaault > interesting will.

His two daughters Cornelia and Christina marry men who have a great enjoy prestige. In that circle, relations even extend to Prince of Orange Nassau, who has borrowed money from the family. This prince is Frits, prince of Nassauw. Could be grandson of Frederik Hendrik of Orange.

Generation IV

Johan (Jan) van Wijck

Bartholt van Wijck

Mother Jenneke Luijb sister of Hendersken Luijb. Bartholt and Willemijn Vermeer are cousins

Generatie V

1658 Bartholt van Wijck X Metjen Henricsen, On October 7, 1735, Bartelt van Wijck's wife with the large clock said is Metjen, I read: On the high day of Pinxteren, Metjen Hindricks was accepted after confession.

Metjen came to Wageningen with a certificate from The Hague in 1681. Bartholt owned houses in Wageningen at various times. In 1725 he owned a house with a city wall on the Nudepoort. This means that the house was built on the city wall and the city wall is therefore part of his home. He also later owned houses on Hooghstraat and Broeckstraat.

Children:

Henrick van Wijck has a foreson, Bartholt, with Metjen Henricsen. Henrick was never married after Henrick and Metjen got married. As a child, Henrick does receive a Goeden Rinck in his will = gold ringJakob van Wijck X Hermina SchrickJakob is a steward. His father-in-law owns several houses in Amsterdam. Among other things, on the west side of the Keizersgracht, Singel and Bloemgracht. One of the grandchildren marries Rev. Koot, pastor of the city of Delft. His portrait > Rijksmuseum Collection: etching and stipple engraving Johannes van Wijck He owns 2 lime and 6 tanning vats. He and his wife Teuntje Jager buy a house and courtyard at Molenstraat 425 on 20-8-1738. Hendrina van WijckMatthijs van Wijck

Generation VI

1703 Matthijs van Wijck Matthijs is still alive and coming along??? That still needs to be sorted out.

Matthijs and his children grew up in a Stadtholderless era (1702 -1747), the time when there was a struggle that was referred to as the Gelderland folding. The struggle between the protégés of William III (after the childless death of this harsh leader, no new stadtholder and more democratic denominations were elected outside Friesland and Groningen. In 1707 there were riots due to the appointment of regents, which led to an expedition of Arnhem corps coming to Wageningen The gates are shot at and Wageningen mayors are captured. There are floods in the Gelderland valley due to the breach of the Grebbedijk. In 1724-25, street lights appear on poles for the first time Wageningen jointly bought the Lexkesveer and the Grebbelinie was built. In 1755, a hailstorm destroyed most of the tobacco cultivation. Mr. Hovestad was officially appointed as a salmon fisherman on the Rhine and caught 143 salmon in 1777. , in 1781 only 1 and in 1782 there were 34. In 1795 the city was occupied by the French army. 1795-1813 Part of the city belongs to the Batavian Republic, the Kingdom of Holland and the French Empire. Civil rights lose their meaning. The craft guilds are dissolved.

Matthijs leaves for 's Hertogenbosch (garrison town and Doesburg, idem). Nowhere do I find evidence that Matthijs was in the army. Den Bosch was an important fortified town as a link between the north and south (French), but during his stay I did not find any signs of importance to be there.

Children:

Jenneke van Wijck

2. Johannes (Jan) van Wijck

3. Maria van Wijck X Aart van Baak, widower of Johanna Ros These children were born in Wageningen.

He marries Peternella (Petronella/Peternel) van Rooijen. Petronella was baptized 9-2-1730 and buried 28-8-1781 in Wageningen. In 1765 Petronella purchased grave no. 196: Three stones is mentioned. Are these three graves? In 1781 the population was plagued with the “Red Loop” or dysentry. Petronella succumbs to this disease on 28-8-1781 this year. She is buried with the Great Bell. You paid X amount to the church and the big bells rang on the day you were buried. Jan (Johannes) was Poortier at the Nudepoort. A gatekeeper. This opened the doors and collected the gate money. Below is a photo to illustrate the era of the van Wijck family. In 1756, Jan buys a timbered house on the narrow Hooghstraat near the Nudepoort on a lease for 6 years for F 28.0.0. Her mother-in-law, Hiltje van Mans/Maanen, is at that time a porter at the Nudepoort and is the guarantor with her porter's contract. On 2-6-1760 they buy a house on the Kapelstraat, house, yard with cellar. carpentry.

Children:

Matthijs van WijckJannetje van Wijck I haven't found much else about these two. Dirk van Wijck In 1815 he became a member of the militia. Willem owns an ox and a sheep. This would have stood at the bottom of the house, as was customary at that time. Willem is also a Kuijper. He makes wooden tubs, barrels or barrels. It is an extinct craft.

Generation VIII

1762 Dirk van Wijck , died Wageningen 31-7-1805, buried 3-8-1805 Daughter of Cornelis Teunisse and Gerritje Geritsen

This is followed by the names Arnolda van Rooijen, Arnolda Neulke, etc. This is very similar, Nolleke can be traced back to Arnolda. Van Rooijen was of course added 1811 Napoleon.

Dirk marries Nolleke Cornelisse or Arnolda van Roijen. Both are the same woman. Nolleke is also called: Arnolda Neulke/Naleke Corniess, Neleke Cornelisdr/Neulke Teunisse/Neulken. He marries Nolleke in Amsterdam. The banns did take place in Wageningen. Nolleke lives in Amsterdam. 21-2-2015 Found the following: Jantje Krift was born 3-7-1749 as daughter of Klaas Krift and Gerritje Bransen / Geertje Geertse/Gerritje Gerrits. Same person as below Neulke Cornelisse/Neulke Teunisse was born 7-2-1764 as daughter of Cornelis Teunisse and Gerritje Gerritse. Gerritje Gerritzen herX 22-2-1760 Cornelis Teunissen. Cornelis is the widower of Neuleken Hermsen Neulke Cornelisse and Jantje Krift are half-sisters, so Hendrik Koning and Derk van Wijk are brothers-in-law. Hendrik Koning, profession soldier. It is located in Namur in Garrison. Where did Dirk live in Wageningen? Dirk lived at Capelstraat A302, A303, 204.1, 1248 corner Kerkstraat. On January 30, 1790, Dirk received half the house, half the courtyard and half the farm on the north side of the Agterstraat. These data come from Anton C. Zeven from the books “Who lived where in Wageningen”. It states that Dirk is called brother-in-law of Hendrick Koning. Hendrick Koning is married to Jantje Crift (Krift). Hendrik is a mason's servant. Is he a wealthy man by inheritance? From genealogiedomein.nl: – Hendricus (Hendrik) Koning: 10-3-1818: Death register municipality of Wageningen, 10-3-1818 No. 44. / On today, the Tenth of March of the year eighteen hundred and eighteen in the afternoon at eleven o'clock, Carel Anthony Marchant, Mayor of Wageningen, Province of Gelderland, Official of the Civil State, compared before us, Jan Ferdinant, aged fifty-two, speaker / and Hendrik Engelbart van Rennes, aged four and twenty, messenger of this City Council / both living in Wageningen / who have declared to us that Hendrik Koning Widower of Jannetje Krift, by profession Metzelaars Knegt born in Wageningen, Son of Wylen Frans Koning born in Grol and died in Wageningen and Berendina Brandsen born and died in Wageningen on the Eighth of March this year in the evening at seven o'clock at the age of eight and seventy years in the Mennonite Neighborhood of this city La B No 226 died. / From which We have drawn up this Act, which was signed after reading by the Appearing Parties and us. // [cc 1982-1999 tB]A large house is divided into two by a magescheid.

On the north side, half the house is separated by the middle wall with two houses on the aforementioned side of the house, then half the courtyard and half garden on the north side, as it is now demarcated by paele. (Note: NB and it is stipulated that the house should not be sold as preferred by the others). Then it will be given to Derk and Naeleke and they will distribute half the house at Suijtsijde to Middelmuer with the house on that side, in addition to half the orchard and half the garden at Suijtsijde, and the other half of Hendrik Koning and Jantje Krift. . above are allotted and the half poundage and half tens will have to be paid by each half. NB Tins 1790: Hendrick Koning, the one with Jantje Krift, the last? Wageningen descendant of the Krift family was married, and Derck van Wijk each had half. They are called brothers-in-law. This is only possible if Naeleke Cornisse is a half-sister of Jantje Krift.

In 1838 he still practices his profession, but in Amsterdam. Cornelis remains in Amsterdam and lived in 1828 at Rechtboomsloot 42. Cornelis is Dutch Reformed. By appeal, Kuiper is in Amsterdam/Ouwerkerk aan de Amstel. I have the marriage certificate of Cornelis and Maria and the birth certificate of the first daughter Arnolda Catharina van Wijk4.

They have a maid, Anna Maria Gijzelman, whom son Dirk later marries. In 1820 he was a baker's assistant in Amsterdam. He and Jan and Cornelis are clearly looking for better progress than they can get in Wageningen. In 1838 he was still working as a baker in Amsterdam. 5.

In 1853 he was in the National Militia. He had 14 children in 31 years, until he was 60.

* Paterswolde 16-03-1885, died Beilen 17-12-1935 * Beilen 23-2-1878, died Assen 14-09-1950 Occupation: baker Son of Gerrit Pots and Hillegien Snijder After Anna's death at the age of 50, Willem remarried Hendrika Buuren. Until 1974, the bakery was located at Kruisstraat 17 in Beilen. In 2008, old features can still be seen in the bakery. Willem's son, Hilbertus/Bertus Pots, married Roelfina Smits, who was immediately able to help in the bakery. There were no holidays, only after a holiday scheme for bakers was introduced in 1965 did they make up for the damage and travel throughout Europe. Bertus worked in his father's business together with a younger brother and some servants. Bertus also wanted to become a baker and, as the eldest son, took over the bakery. It was a tough job. Father Willem, her brother-in-law Willem and sister-in-law Grietje also lived in the house on Kruisstraat. Bertus' working day looked like this: to bed at 9:30 PM and up again at 4:00 AM. Bake with the servants and go out to peddle at 9:30. This happened with horse and cart in surrounding villages. The servants delivered the bread in Beilen and the women stood in the shop where they also sold smaller spices. There were 12 bakeries in the small village at the time, so you couldn't slack off on your work. Only on Sundays Hilbertus stayed in bed a little longer. The story of the Bakery and how it goes after son BertusG takes over the store is in my possession,

_________________________________ Markus takes over the company from his father Jan. His occupations are: café owner, shopkeeper, flour dealer, fertilizer dealer, farmer and cinema owner. Markus tries everything and deserves respect for this. His nicknames include Mossadeq and Maxwill. When Marcus came into possession of the café in 1889, Marcus had the building extensively renovated. In 1926 the front house was renovated and enlarged. A new house is also being built on Vennersteeg, Vennerstraat 26, where his parents move into. More renovations took place in 1935, 1951 and 1954. The crisis years make it difficult, but fortunately the vegetable auction is moved from Café Braakzicht to Vennerstraat next to Café van Wijk. 8. Egberdina van Wijk

Generation XII

1889 Jan van Wijk Heise and Jeichien Kremer

Jacob and Jeichien get married 4 months before Klasina is born. Jacob and Jeichien lived in Amsterdam. They even got married there. Jacob came from Assen but lived with his mother in Amsterdam and Jeichien lived in Vries.

When she is declared in the population register, it is by Lucas Heise from 2de Nassaustraat 13 and Johan Christoph Heise, a letter typesetter by profession, also from 2de Nassaustraat 13. Lucas is Klasina's grandfather and Johan Christoph her uncle, brother of her father Jacob. I've always wondered why they went to Amsterdam. Of course you think of economic reasons. However, see above, relatives of Jacob HH also lived there

Heise in Amsterdam, father Lucas and brother Johan Christoph. But a sister of Klasina's mother also lived in Amsterdam. Enough to take your chances within the family, which were often also tailors.

Klasina grew up in Amsterdam for one year and seven months. Her father came to Amsterdam first. On 25-1-1892 Jacob first registered with his brother Johan Christoph and on 15-11-1893 Jacob registered on the Rozengracht with widow CB Heman, a week before he registered with his wife on 21-11-1893. Jeichien is located in Hazenstraat, a street between Elandsgracht and Lauriersgracht. On December 19, 1893 they moved to Da Costastraat. This street is located between Kinkerstraat and Jacob van Lennepstraat. On June 7, 1894, the couple moved to 2de Nassaustraat no. 5 and on October 15, 1894 to 2de Nassaustraat no. 23. This street is located between da Nassaukade and Wittenkade. On October 15, 1895, the couple left for Haren (Glimmen) with Hendrik and the now born Klasina. Hendrik, brother of Jeichien, has been living with them for the last 5 months. He is a tailor just like Jacob.

The story goes (via eldest daughter Mina or youngest son Piet) that Jeichien Kremer died on the train on the way to Amsterdam. No evidence of this has yet been found. In 1922 she is registered as deceased in Amsterdam. Klasina wanted her daughter Mina to become a hairdresser. It's funny that her brother Pieter is a hairdresser and ran a barbershop next to his father's catering establishment.
