Welcome!

This tree is a frozen snapshot of my Terug in de Tijd tree on Ancestry, which is the master version. The tree is named in honor of my Boezel cousin Nelline Simons of the Netherlands, who died all too young, who had named her public tree “Terug in de Tijd”.

All living people are without given names or other information, but you may be able to find yourself. However, I have not tried to capture all the living members, so that many people are not in the tree, in which case you will need to find one of your parents or grandparents.

This version’s snapshot was download from Ancestry 30 May 2023 and has 1,771 people in 610 families with 849 media files.

The tree now includes extended coverage of the Irish Cunnea family, since some of their descendants also have Dutch ancestry and since the mitochondrial DNA direct maternal line of our Cunnea family members is Dutch.

For those who have an Ancestry account, our knighted ancestor Jannes van Wijk (1789-1872) is at http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/14945597/person/190887905 and you can click on that to see him and then navigate to anyone else within the tree.

Adrianus Bogaarts Family

Adrianus Bogaarts was the brother of my ancestor Frans Bogaerts, for whom I have no photos. The boys in the picture all took different spelling variants of the name, just as Adrianus and Frans had. (Photo thanks to my Adrianus' descendant my cousin Carla and her husband Hans Roelofs of Dordrecht)
