I
am busy at the moment rewriting an earlier edition (1989) of a book about
our Family Tree. That is why I am urgently calling everybody with this
Family name to respond if they are interested. I would like to complete
this second edition with more personal and actual records.
I
am very interested in “Birth”, “Marriage” and “Death”
announcements on prayer cards, and photo’s which I would like to place
in the second edition, so the reader get a true impression of the life and
well being of our Families. I
am trying to get this edition ready in about a year, say Fall of 2003, and
anybody interested can then download it from the internet. It is being set
setup in Microsoft Word.
If
you have any information on our Family Tree and want to send this
information to me. Just click on the Blue Bar >>> beside here on
the Button Form, and fill out all the information you have.
Here
follows a short description of the beginnings of our Family Tree.
The
origins of our Families have we found in the Netherlands in the Village of
Heeten in the Province of Overijssel.
The
Village of Heeten is about 12 km (9 miles) North-East of the City of
Deventer, and about 6 km (4 miles) South of the Town of Raalte. The
Village of Heeten is incorporated under the Municipality of Raalte.
In
the Village of Heeten during the 17 Century there was a large farm with
the name of “de Horle” or “de Hordel”. According to the local
customs at that time most Dutch families had no family names, until the
French Government under Napoleon that ruled the Netherlands told the Dutch
to acquire family names.
During
this time the main farmer on the Farm named “de Horle” adopted the
name “Horleman” or “ Hordelman”. We found a Henrick Jacobsson
Horleman, which tells you his father was Jacob. We are now on track with
this family.
Following
Henrick Jacobsson Horleman we find he was born in 1640, and got married in
1670. He lost his wife in 1686. His father was born in 1610.
After
some investigation we found 2 names: Willem Hendricksson and Fenne
Hendricksdaugter. However these two persons where married to each other.
There are here two possibilities. First,
that Willem Hendricksson was the son of Henrick Jacobsson, or that Fenne
Henricksdaughter was a daughter of Henrick Jacobssson. It is also possible
that Willem Hendricksson was a hired hand on the farm of Henrick Jacobsson
and married the bosses daughter, or vice versa.
We
are in this case not sure because of inaccurate recordings. One thing we
know for sure is that Willem Hendricksson Horleman is the Patriarch of our
Family Tree. One of his children was Henricus Willemsson Horleman, and it
is this Henricus we are following.
Henricus
was baptized on 17 October 1706. He lived at the “de Horle” farm for
nearly 40 years. Henricus married with Grietje Jansdaughter from “den
Belt” (farm name) and in 1747 build himself a small farmstead or
homestead on the land of the “de Horle” farm in the Village of Lettele
and named this farmstead “Huis
in’t Veld”, meaning “house in the field”. They had 7 children. The
younger 3 children with the names of Joannes (Son), Lambertus (son) and
Janna (daughter) are three branches of our Family Tree, because they where
baptized with the new family name of “Huis in’t Veld.
However
we have now found another Family Tree of the Family “Huis in’t
Veld”.
whose
origin was also in the Village of Heeten.
The
above mentioned Henricus and Grietje sold their farmstead named “Huis
in’t Veld" in 1749
to
a Mr. Hendrick Overmeen and his wife Teuntje Gerritsdaughter. (maybe their
farmstead was getting to small for the 7 children) Mr. Hendrick Overmeen
became to be known as Hendrick Overmeen on the Huis in ’t Veld, and
still later as Hendrick Huis in’t Veld because of the farmsteads name.
So we are going to place this Family Tree also in this coming soon second
edition with new findings and interesting information.
Please
do not hesitate and send me all the information you might have our family.
Thank You.
