Hi there
Does anyone know if a person called Jeef could originate from the town of
Jever?
Has anyone heard of something like that?
Best wishes Laila
Even if he did, would it matter? His name there would have been
something else. Normally your suspicion is right on that people who
came from somewhere were given a name identifying them as such but
Jeef seems just to be a version of some other name.
Fred
well it would give me a location to start a search for him

How?
If I come from Philly and they call my Philboy in LA but my real name
is John, what will that do for you in Philly? You won't know to look
for John.

one of my ancestors, about 1500, is even called Van Jever! Living in Emden at that time. I won't be able to trace him back to Jever, although I'm quite sure he came from there. His given name is Johan, his occupation "Kremer". His name in his Jever-time is unknown.How would he be named? Johan Kremer? Surely not Johan van Jever.
By the way: his wife's name was Anna, sons Hinrich and Hermann. (Johan Hinrichs? Johan Hermanns?)

Sigrid,
for ordinary people back to 1500 and before the name was rather
simple and usually just a first name unless they lived in a city where
more of the same had to be identified. Kremer/Kramer of course was a
seller of goods. Sometimes these folks would travel from place to
place to hawk their wares. So he might have not even been from Jever.
But you have something to the occupation naming scheme. It would
have been one identifying mark. Jan der Kramer or Kramer Jan may well
have been what he was called. Trouble is any of that is almost
impossible to proove.
Fred
Thanks Fred,
I know this is a very tough brickwall. I do not seriously researching this line further back. Even if I could find the right names in Jever, I wouldn't be able to identify him as the same person. This first Johan is calling himself van Jever, so do his sons and even so do his grandchildren, not living in Jever anymore for generations.
