Biography

Atzo Klazes was born in 1639 in Franeker as the son of Claes Atzes and Maaike Tietes

His first name is also written as: Atso, Atse, Atze, etc.
His surname is also written as: Nicolaus, Nicolay, Nycolay, etc.

Between 1656-1660, he is a student at the university of Franeker. His coat of arms has been published in the "Liber Collegii Franequerensis fundati MDCLXI : mense Julio"

Between 1664-1670, he is a preacher in Nes and Wierum.

Between 1670-1701, he is a preacher in Drogeham and Harkema-Opeinde.

On 19 April 1662, Atzo Nicolaus and Geilske Tyssen, announced their marriage in the Town Hall of Leeuwarden. It is stated that the groom lives in Franeker and the bride in Leeuwarden.[1][2]

On 4 May 1662, Atsonis Nicolay married Gerlske Tysses in the Dutch Reformed Parish of Jellem. It is stated that the groom lives in Franeker and the bride in Leeuwarden.[3]

They had the following children:

  1. Maeyke Atsoos Nicolaey (Leeuwarden 1663-bef.1683)
  2. Willem Atsoos Nicolaes (1664-1720)
  3. Claes Atzos Nycolay (Nes 1665-bef.1666)
  4. Claas Atzos Nycolay (Nes 1666-1723)
  5. Hendrikje Atzos Nicolai (1670-)
  6. Tiete Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1671-1701)

On 19 April 1671, his wife Gerske Tyssen died. She was buried in the Walgarakerk.[4]

Between 1671-1677, he must have married Tetje Goytzens in Drogeham.

They had the following children:

  1. Goytsen Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1678-bef.1717)
  2. Atze Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1680-1689)
  3. Mayke Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1683-1684)
  4. Maaike Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1684-bef.1713)
  5. Pieter Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1686-1769)
  6. Atzo Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1689-)
  7. Roel Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1691-1765)
  8. Antje Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1694-1763), twin
  9. Syouk Atzos Nicolai (Drogeham 1694-abt.1756), twin

In May 1684, Atze Nicolai and his wife Tettje Goytses are registered as members of the Dutch Reformed Church in Drogeham.[5]

In 1698, Ds. Atzo Nicolai is registered as the user of farm land in Drogeham owned by the Parish of Drogeham to which 1 vote with number 15 was allocated. As it was farm land it is fair to assume that he was farming at that time.[6]

On 14 June 1700, his wife Tetie Goytzens died and was buried in the Walgarakerk in Drogeham.[7]

Atzo Nicolay died on 7 August 1701 in Drogeham and was buried on 13 August 1701 in the Walburgakerk in Drogeham. His tombstone bears the following inscription:

"Ao 1701 den 7de augusti sterf de eersame hoogheleerde do Atzo Nicolay in leve getrouwe dienaar des evangelie J.C. over syn gemeente in Droogeham en Harckema Opende oud in syn 6[2] jaar en leit alhier begraven"[8]

For some 10 years the tombstone was lying underneath a leaky rain gutter. A descendant took the initiative to move the tombstone to the "baarhuisje" where it still remains.

Research notes

Well written site: http://hedvvich.nl/stamreeks-wierd-kooistra/atzo-claeses-nicolai/

  • Het nageslacht van Atzo Nicolai is in de vorm van een parenteel van vijf generaties beschreven door Reid van der Ley in het Genealogysk Jierboek 2000, blz. 49-80. De afkomst van Atzo Nicolai is, in de vorm van een kwartierstaat, hierin ook beschreven door Hein Walsweer, zie blz. 81-106.


Atzo is het stamhoofd van de meeste Nicolai's in de verre omtrek. Hij was niet het stamhoofd van de Nicolai's te Drachten. Die zijn van het geslacht van Durk Abrahams, schoolmeester, vroeger te Oudega (Sm.). Atzo was van Franeker afkomstig.
