GENEALOGY SYSTEM
My genealogy
system consists of two separate parts:
1
- A personal
research file.
2
- A general file
with details from the
At present there are approx. 920.000 records in the database, thanks to
contributions of Gedcom files of participants in my system.
All records in the database are available to participants free of
charge.
How does it work ?
Every genealogist
has a set of important names.
Obviously these names differ with almost each individual.
The participants in my genealogy system send me a list of their
important names (including the different spelling varieties).
These names are than scanned against the incoming data which is received
on a regular basis.
‘Matches’ are reported to the participants, in the form of a question
(usually about the ancestors or children of the person involved) or a report.
These ‘matches’ are than checked by the participants in their own
database.
Naturally, it happens that it is not possible provide the requested
information. This is than reported with the sending of a short emailed reply.
If there is information available, generally it will include another
family name.
This name is than included in the scanning of names process.
So, obviously this report may generate another ‘match’. This new ‘match’
may provide new information to the genealogists involved.
Again this information is relayed as a question or as a report, and the
cycle continues.
It seems a little complicated,
but in practise you will see that this is not so.
Naturally, I cannot tell if you have an answer to the question asked.
These questions may be involved with my own or with other peoples’
research.
The only request I make, is that you seriously check your own database
for an answer. If this answer is not available, inform me.
It only needs a short “No connection, Willem”.
So, send me your list of important family names, and I will happily
include these names in the scans.

own research involves the following names :
Van Pelt (paternal), Van der
Hoek (maternal), Smit (wife), Van Leeuwen (daughter in law), Engelsma (son in
law), Elsäcker, Scheepers, Lokkers and Van der Lans, (brothers in law).
