I have added new data to the database on my website.
This database now contains more than 50.000 names.
The names in the first generations of my ancestors are: Santen,
Vetketel, Bosma, Altink, Bos, Elfrink, klein Rouweler en Keuten. My
mothers ancestors mainly came from Twente (Borne, Bornerbroek, Almelo,
Ambt Delden and Rijssen) and Noord-Brabant (Deurne). Santen came via
Oldemarkt and Beverwijk originally from Brual, Rhede in Germany. From
Oldemarkt there are a lot of links with Weststellingwerf in Friesland.
You can view the data in familysheet view, pedigree view as a table and
pedigreeview in text. The text view shows 5 generations. Children and
their spouses are also shown. You can switch back and forth between
familysheet and pedigree views. You can search on first- or lastname,
birth, death and marriage date or place, godparents or residence. You
can also do a phonetic namesearch. A search for "Santen" would also give
Sanden, Sandin(c)k, Sandman(n)(s), Sand(t)mann, Santinck, Santing and
Seendam, Sendink, Sendink, Senten.
A new feature is that you can supply extra search criteria. A search for
'Birthplace = Borne' would give a result of 7386 records. Now yo can
refine this result with 2 extra criteria.
