Offering my help in the use of wiewaswie.nl (genealogical archive site in the netherlands)

The help may come in handy, because the ancestors first names were not always written in a consistent way.

for example Gertrudis may also be Geertrui or Geertruid or even Gertruid

also understanding the labels may come in handy, especially on the Advanced Search form (https://www.wiewaswie.nl/personen-zoeken/uitgebreid-zoeken/)

Make sure your request enters my email inbox, either by telling me how to setup such in Wikitree, or by mailing me directly at woepwoep@gmail.com

Replies to this posting will be in my mailbox.

thx, Ron

I believe they are working on English translations for the site, like genlias.nl had, which should help none nederlanders eventually.
Thanks Ronald!  Would it be ok for me to add a link to this g2g post on the New Netherland Settlers project page?

hi Liz, do whatever works for you, i am fine with any kind of link that can help find people find their ancestors. best regards, Ron

Thanks!  I've added the information (see the sections on Language Volunteers and Useful Pages on the New Netherland Settlers project page).  <br>

Let me know if you'd like to join the project (you don't have to have eligible ancestors to join the project - anyone with an interest in it can join).    <br>
