Digital Afterlife
It may seem morbid, but in the event of my untimely demise I want to be sure that none of my hard work on WikiTree ends up being deleted. While I fully intend on being around to manage all my profiles for the next 80 years or so, in the event of my sudden death I hereby give permission for all of my private profiles to be transferred to any of the following slightly-active WikiTreers in my family, whether or not they are currently on the trusted lists:

Only the Trusted List can access the following:
- B. W. J.'s formal name

- images (10)
- private siblings' names
- spouse's name and marriage information
DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with B. W. J. by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with B. W. J.:

I just noticed you added a wife to one of the QUAX family. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn't find a way to connect them and now they are.
Brilliant and well done
Thanks again

Kun je helpen twee NL notables met de big tree te verbinden? Het gaat om Veltman-203 die al een heleboel voorouders heeft maar dus nog geen verbinding met de hoofdboom. en Blaauw-248 die minder voorouders heeft omdat een heleboel takken de grens over gaan in Groningen en Drenthe.
Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

Re your merge proposal Catherine Crapp (Arthur-2549), I agree that this is the same person, and needs to be merged. However due to the need to research other family members to update their profiles and add missing members, together with merging her father, I will not be actioning the merge immediately.

Concerning https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Oorthuijs-1 and his brother Gerrit Oorthuis. Thank you for the link that they are brothers. Since I don't know anything about their parents (yet), I think I will look for a birth/marriage/death date first and then add them. If you have found any of these dates please feel free to either add them or send them to me.
Sincerely, Monique
Thank you beyond the moon!! So appreciative!
Sorry for the late reaction. Here are the other sources I found concerning https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Wit-905
The death notice of her mother in 1849 in Jabeek. This mentions a different writing form of her father's name as well as her mother's parents. https://www.openarch.nl/rhl:5434d99a-8db9-9566-a62e-5f2c41837fb7
Besides this, I sadly haven't found anything yet.
