Jean Mulder Thank you for inviting me to join your website. This is a great program and I love being able to get in touch with other websites to find answers to my questions. I have been busy adding a lot of photos to the Mulder/Korendijk and van der Slik/ Bogema aka Boegman members of my tree. Feel free to look at it and see if any apply to your tree.

Frans Albert Kok Dear Jean , here is my answer on your question today.In 1811 Napoleon Bonaparte who invaded Holland and most part of Europe ordered families to have a familyname. Some inportant families already had one , but most families did NOT.Before 1811 if somebody was born and they called him Jacob and his father was called Thies....than his full name would be Jacob Ties , meaning Jacob , the son of Thies. The son or daughter of for instance Jacob would be named .... Grietje Jacobs or Hendrik Jacobs. The S after Jacob means son or daughter of Jacob. (Jacobsson) After 1811 everybody was ordered to have his own familyname. Some choose their professing as familyname (Smit , Timmerman) which means smith , carpenter. Some familynames remained Jacobs for instance. The same for Pieters , Stevens etcetc.Some families choosed their names after the region they lived (van Groningen , van Delft ) etc etc.Most of the familynames can be explained. I hope you are satisfied with this answer. If NOT , dont hesitate to mail me for more questions. Dutch regards Frans Kok.
