The Dutch family Perdijk seems to originate from a settling called Paradieck
near Mariendrebber.
They settled in 1758 in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands.
I have no further information, since I am not doing any research on the
Perdijk family.
The Meertens Instituut in The Hague gives the following information in
Dutch:
Perdijk
verklaring:
Geografische naam, afgeleid van het toponiem Paradieck, een hoeve gelegen
tussen Diepholz en Vechta in Niedersachsen (Dld.). Het element diek betekent
hier waarschijnlijk 'waterplas' en het toponiem wordt wel verklaard als 'wed
(drinkplaats) voor paarden' [Vgl. G. Lutosch, Die Siedlungsnamen des
Landkreises Diepholz, Syke 1983, p 174].
naamsvermeldingen en literatuurreferenties:
� In 1758 vestigde Dirk Jansz Perdijk zich in Reeuwijk. Dirk (Dietrich) was
in 1719 in Mariendrebber (in de omgeving van Paradieck) gedoopt als zoon van
Johann Heinrich Pardieck [J. van Veelen, 'Pardijk (Perdijk)', in: OV 40
(1985), p 680].
My familyname is Perdok. This name was first mentioned in 1684: Hindrik Jans
Perdok, baptized 06-01-1684 in Noordborek (Netherlands). His father Jan
Hindriks called himself Paradox. see below
Jan HINDRIKS (Jan Hindriks Paradox), died on 27-05-1700 in Borgsweer.
Married to
Grietje DERKS.
From this marriage:
1. Gepke JANS, bapt. (Geref.) on 10-03-1682 in Noordbroek.
2. Hindrik Jans PERDOK, bapt. on 06-01-1684 in Noordbroek
3. Marktien JANS, bapt. (Geref.) on 27-01-1686 in Noordbroek.
4. Freke JANS, bapt. (Geref.) on 19-02-1688 in Noordbroek.
5. Jantje JANS, bapt. (Geref.) on 28-12-1692 in Borgsweer.
6. Derck Aysses Jans PERDOK, bapt. (Geref.) on 23-08-1696 in Borgsweer.
Is there anyone who can tell me where I can find out if the family Perdok
(Paradox) comes also from the settlement Paradieck?
Thanks for your help.
