Genealogy

On this part of the website you will find information on the following families: Alkema, Bakering, Helmus, Ras, Vogelzang & Wijnalda. I am researching other branches of the family tree as well, but these are still in the early stages. Next to that I have started to research my husband's ancestry - the Pilkington family - as well

To harbour the privacy of the living included in said tree, I have decided to only publish the files until 1910. If you believe your name may be in my family tree, please contact me through the contact form and select the option "Genealogy" from the drop down menu. I'm open to sharing information but only if the living people in my research have given their consent to do so. If you have any additions, or changes, please do not hesitate to contact me through the contact form.

Last but not least, I want to thank the people who have made my research easier: Jaap Alkema, Dan Gamber, Liekele Helmus, Gerard Mengerink, Hylke Meijer and many nameless others who have made their research available either on the web or in print.
