My names

According to Dutch naming traditions Coen should have been named Cornelis after his grandfather, but his parents decided it was too old fashioned. It did upset the grandfather for a bit, but he came around in the end and named a boat after him,

Cornelis Dijkgraaf (1908-1993) on the boat Coentje

Languages

I'm fluent in English, and get by in Dutch as I didn't speak or read it much for quite a few years since I was ten, but doing genealogy has improved it a bit again. Sometimes to translate to or from Dutch I will use Deepl.com or Google translate

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 20 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:

• Astrid Dijkgraaf
• The Netherlands Project
