Answer 1

First of all, I like to thank you all for your hard work and enthusiasm. We all did a wonderful job. I really love you picked up the challenge! Thank you, thank you! It s just big fun this way. :)

Princess Mabel has now instead of zero ancestors 81!!!!!!!!!!!!! ancestors. :) Isn't that great????? Just proud this was accomplished in only 4 days! 

Mabel (Los) van Oranje-Nassau's ancestors are:

-Complete on sourced ancestors till generation 5, her Great-Great-Grandparents......... 

-but even better!: almost complete (only five missing out of 32!!!) generation 6 her Great-Great-Great-Grandparents. :D 

-And best: 24 Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandparents out of 64!! That is just A FANTASTIC RESULT!!!! 

See: Tree Widget Mabel Wisse Smit (born Los) 

A special thank you to all participants.Thank you to B.W.J. Molier! our always supporting and best connector of the Dutch_Roots_Project! Also to Peter Scheffer who added so many profiles (:D Even if they "just" came from "Vorsten", that was just great!). Thank you Peter! :) Jan........ and Bea: Our great leaders at the Dutch_Roots_Project supporting us all and guiding us. Best searchers/sourcerers we have. :) Thank you!!!!!

Then at last I like to thank Rob Ton!!!!! Smiling big, as he added so many ancestors to Princess Mabel, supported and sourced as ever so well. :) I think we have a winner. :) But we will wait till WikiTree has fully uploaded all (takes about 24 hours) and honor the winner with a badge!!!!! Asking all to be just a little patient. :) 

 

Now our monthly challenge starts Tuesday (2016-05-03). :D I am not telling what the challenge will be but it will be something alike of this succesful FIRST KING's DAY Challenge. 

 

On behalf of the Dutch_Roots_Challenges Team 

Thank you for your efforts!!! and the big fun! 

 

Bea Wijma And Astrid Spaargaren

 

 

 

 

This challenge would not have been possible without the cooperation of [[Grifhorst-1|Martyn E. Grifhorst]] who added me (Astrid) to the trusted lists of our Royal Family to make it possible to add the family of our Princesses. Thank you Martyn!

Tomorrow we start our monthly (May) challenge with a little liberation edge :D 

Hope you all will find some time to participate.

could not add (find) the sourcerers challenge winner badge, so I guess connecting Mabel to her deep ancestors ...a connector challenge winner badge is a good choice as well eeh :)

---

Wow! Of course that is great! Thank you Bea! :D Rob also earned the right to add the april winner dutch roots challenge badge! 

 

:)))))))) Isn t Rob the Master of Templates at WikiTree? Thought I saw that somewhere.... :D 

---

Yes he is, he also created the Dutch Roots Templates :)

---

Wow so he can add his self created template now? :) He is just lucky!!! :D

 

Well Rob deserved anything anyway. Winner or not. Peter is on the nomination list. Happy I met him here :D

 

Back short to unsourced profiles after finding the head tap in the rain of my mother in law lol! Night all!

---

The challenge templates were created by Abby , the Dutch Roots Project templates are created by Rob ;)

Answer 2

Hi, I'm too busy with the King's dinner in my street and the hunt for special stuff on the Vrijmarkt. Success with your challenge!

Comments

Hahaha No worries B.W.J. Don't forget your snow boots and winter coat! :/ Besides the challenge lasts till next Sunday.

 

Go and have fun B.!

---

Well I'll of course try if I can find some ancestors here or some sources for them :D

---

Yeh!!!!!!!! :D I already added unsourced parents for Mabel profiles set to open. So anyone can have fun there!

I will for Laurentien now! :)

And the gparents of Maxima. :)

---

OH! Bea is in front now!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

---

:D Bea you have to make one window to put in what you found. Name the profile and behind it what you added with where you found the source. And count them! lol :D

---

The one window works only if we stay within the 8000 words ...quite hard for chatterboxes like us :P

---

I added a few unsourced death dates so I could edit the privacy of the profiles and are open now. I also added some of you to the trusted lists!

Wow you re all working hard!!! :D Thank you for that!!!

Comments

Well it's really appreciated Peter , with or without a badge or template, having fun and working together on this is also a very important part and goal of I guess all Wikitree challenges, it's a great way to get to know your fellow members a bit better ;)

---

@Rob

Ariaantje Klodewijk:  Yes, seems reasonable, sound research and analysis! I could not find her marriage either...

---

Thanks to your work Peter, I added a lot of family at the - van Woerkom -family. I hope that is okay with you :p Just a liitle stuck now on Th parents of Willem van Woerkom http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Woerkom-26 His father is unknown and his mother Willemina van Woerkom born in Eethen (Noord-Brabant) in 1885 according to this https://www.genealogieonline.nl/stamboom-dullemen/I18041.php Checked even the churchbooks at Waalwijk. No luck so far. Or I must have missed something.

I also see a mother named Neeltje Pelt with a Johannes van Woerkom.... lets see if she is already at WikiTree.

---

Hi Astrid, with the info from Stamboom Dullemen ("She died on July 23, 1856 in Dordrecht, she was 71 years old.") I have found these sources of her death and marriage:

• Huwelijk Jacob van Muijen en Willemina van Woerkom, 18-11-1814
• Overlijden Willemina van Woerkom, 23-07-1856

However, I am not 100% certain this is Willem's mother.

The birthcertificate of Willem should be in the Nationaal Archief (Den Haag, Burgerlijke Stand Dordrecht Geboorten, nummer toegang 3.049.01, inventarisnummer 1812). There are no scans available.

---

Thank you Peter, thank you Rob.

@Peter: Yes I added that link of a possible marriage to the profile of Willemina I think. Not at the computer now but will check it out later. But it is the best we can get so far I think.

@Rob: Thank you Rob for taking time. And thank you for confirming I didn t miss any info at the document.

---

I think it is reasonable to say Willemina the daughter Joannes van Woerkom and Neeltje Sels (I think Sels is a more faithful transcription than Pelt) is a strong candidate as Willem's mother - She definitely has ties to Dordrecht with one sister, Maria, married there in 1813 and another sister, Pieternella, dying there in 1820.

---

I agree with Rob: Neeltje Sels, not Pelt.

Also found extract of Willemina's baptism (attachment to her marriage certificate):

"Netherlands, Zuid-Holland Province, Civil Registration, 1679-1942," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-17533-59679-26?cc=1576401 : accessed 30 April 2016), Oud-Alblas > Huwelijksbijlagen 1812-1833 > image 98 of 678; Nationaal Archief, Den Haag (National Archives, The Hague).

And the actual registration of the baptism:

"Netherlands, Noord-Brabant, Church Records, 1473-1965," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-31043-3147-94?cc=2037960 : accessed 30 April 2016), Nederlands Hervormde > Eethen > Dopen 1726-1810 > image 18 of 32; Nederlands Rijksarchiefdienst, Den Haag (Netherlands National Archives, The Hague).

---

Willem van Woerkom birth certificate:

"Netherlands, Zuid-Holland Province, Civil Registration, 1679-1942," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-12351-22664-50?cc=1576401 : accessed 30 April 2016), Dordrecht > Geboorten 1812-1813 > image 77 of 220; Nationaal Archief, Den Haag (National Archives, The Hague).

---

Thank you both!!! Jan and on the Sels/Pelt thing. I see more evidence to Sels than to Pelt. Was just keeping the possibility open........ I already added the possible marriage to  Willemina's profile. And I see now Peter added :) more possible marriages. :D Just great!

I tried to find Willemina's birthcertificate but no success so far......... :/

@Jan I already had the birth certificate of Willem.But thank you lots!  Rob and Bea read it to see if there was more info of Willemina in it as my French is below zero. No luck. But thank you for adding it here!

---

I believe this will be my last additions prior to the end time of 1200 GMT: All are 5G-Grandparents

• Ege van Houselt
• Aaltje Rits
• Arie Sondag
• Maria Gerritsen

The profile for Maria Gerritsen probably needs a fresh set of eyes to go through the records looking for clues...

All the best everyone... and great job!

Answer 5

Oh, genoeg te doen nog. Ik begin bij de moeder van Mabel:

1. Bron voor [Kooman-10] http://genealogie.voorouder.nl/getperson.php?personID=I263943&tree=voorouders  Bevolkingsreconstructie en genealogisch onderzoek in de omstreken van Rotterdam, als ik op de trusted list wordt toegelaten...

2. New profile [Kooman-11] for father of Kooman-10.

Koningsdiner dus niet uit de hand gelopen? ;-) heb privacy instellingen kunnen veranderen door death date toe te voegen en je manager gemaakt evenals Dutch Roots en Bea hier en  daar.

Fantastisch dat iedereen zo enthousiast aan t werk is! En de familie Los gaat al terug tot 1700 nu zag ik door dat ze connect konden worden! Evenals de van der Heldens, dankzij onze Heerewaarden specialist! Geweldig!

Fantastisch werk allemaal

---

Het was een mooie konngsdag, maar echt helder was ik niet toen ik Kooman-11 in elkaar zette zonder op de privacy instelling te letten. Nu kan ik aan de slag met alle toevoegingen. Inmiddels is Kooman-11 Open.

Ever verder met de challenge

3. [Van_Nijenhof-1]: 4* great grandfather of Mabel

4. [Van_de_Pol-58]: spouse of Van Nijenhof, born out of wedlock...

8. Grandmother of Laurentien [Hoolboom-1]: source for birth

9. [Hoolboom-2]: her father

10. [Hofman-607]: and spouse.

---

"@ Peter heeft ook een hele lijn toegevoegd inclusief bronnen zag ik net , bedankt jij dus ook Peter !"

Bea, deze lijn komt uit Vorsten van september 2003, en de bronnen voornamelijk van Wiewaswie. Hier was weinig onderzoek voor nodig, maar even goed: graag gedaan.

Answer 6

Woet! Woet!! This was all empty! :D http://prntscr.com/ay1tsw   

This makes me happy! :)

Way to go!

Comments

Really awesome eeh , happy here as well ! Thanks for coming up with this great  Astrid !!

Oh just all having fun is thank you enough Bea! But THANK YOU! :)

Answer 7

Wish I just could read this word after Eerste -something- of the burgomaster/Mayor of Ter Aar. First what??? :D http://prntscr.com/ayhpmf  (original: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YS7W-K2Q?mode=g&i=9&wc=9PNR-S5Z%3A115501401%2C115758101%3Fcc%3D1576401&cc=1576401 Just beneath the middle of the left page). 

Next coming lol having trouble on reading French birthcertificate of Willem van Woerkom..............Well not so much just not sure I m missing details. 

Netherlands, Zuid-Holland...l Registration, 1679-1942 Dordrecht Geboorten 1812-1813 Image 77 of 220 document 282 right page [https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6LLR-7X?mode=g&i=76&wc=9PGF-82S%3A108149601%2C108143602%3Fcc%3D1576401&cc=1576401]. I can read most. 

I'm just curious if there is any info on the birthplace and year of Willemina there or of parents. (I don t expect. Just asking.......... )

 

I have another puzzle on the eldest "Prillevitz" too, I might need some help on, but will look into that more before sharing :P Looks there are some with same name at the same time.......... not sure yet. 

Comments

1. Assessor?

2. Willemina is given as 24 years old (âgée de vingt quatre ans) for a calculated birth year of about 1788. I don't see a place of birth mentioned, just what appears to be her residence.

---

I think Rob might be right ..just reading some stuff and here they mention : 

De burgemeester en assessor (= ‘wethouder’)

---

@Bea Yes I read somewhere burgemeester en zijn eerste assistent/first assistant. So I tried to see that in the word but I can t :) But now you all think the same we keep it to that. Father of Willem s wife was first assitant of the Burgomaster of Ter Aar. :D

---

Willemina was baptized in Eethen (1785):

"Netherlands, Noord-Brabant, Church Records, 1473-1965," images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-31043-3147-94?cc=2037960 : accessed 30 April 2016), Nederlands Hervormde > Eethen > Dopen 1726-1810 > image 18 of 32; Nederlands Rijksarchiefdienst, Den Haag (Netherlands National Archives, The Hague).

See my answer above (this thread is getting overloaded with info...)

---

OMG Jan!!!!!! I ve been searching for that a long time last nigth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you will not like it but I AM gonna kiss you for that!  0:-)

 

How you got to the churchbooks of Eethen.................. Grrrr

Eethen Noord-Brabant???????????????/

---

In addition to the FamilySearch images Jan linked to you can also find digitized copies - and a search engine at www.salha.nl

 

---

Oh Rob.............. what is that.............. looking into that right now............... Looks great. Give me time to check it out more as I m into Willemina's profile and the leads given here and on the profile by Peter and link(s) of Jan. :D Thank you all sooooooooo much! Luv you all! for looking into and helping.

Besides we have a Willemina van Woerkom daughter of a Joannes or Johannes/Johannis van Woerkom and Neeltje Sels We all like to think Willemina got on the right trail and ;-) married in 1814, after giving birth to Willem without father in 1812, married in 1814 to Jacob van Muijen. I tend to believe.

 

@ Jan and Rob that site looks great didn t know it........ Thank you for sharing! I searced an no access to Eethen so searched places around! Thank you thank you! Curtsy!

---

@Astrid

Eethen? World famous in Eethen, Genderen, and Heesbeen :-).

Found the name in extract of baptism (huwelijksbijlage). Then searched thru "Overzicht plaatsnamen" (homepage zoekakten.nl) and found films.

---

@ Jan haha Right! The cosmopolitan Eethen. I searched the baptism books all around Eethen lol Thank you for finding!
