Spending a few days in the buildings of Berne Abbey (Abdij van Berne), the oldest parts of which date back to the 16th century. Escaping everyday life, with no social media and emails, but with books, good conversations, and contemplative moments instead. #genealogy #earlymodern

Today I visited the Prison Museum in Veenhuizen (Netherlands). I saw 17th and 18th century torture instruments in the museum section and then took a tour of a real prison. A lot of attention is paid to the "inmates," which makes the visit very interesting for genealogists. #genealogy #earlymodern

Today I visited several dolmens in Borger (Drenthe, Netherlands). I visited the Hunebed Center and saw the largest and smallest dolmen in the Netherlands. It remains remarkable that these stones were collected and used 5,000 years ago to create burial and meeting places.

Listening to Susanah Romney in 2015, about intimate networks.
“Small scale connections that individuals were making across the oceans really added up to something that was a lot weightier than what just the companies were doing or just the colony governments were doing.”

This week I'm finishing the last client project of 2025. The next two weeks will give me some time for my research on Protestants in Tilburg in the 17th and 18th century, and to prepare for a new challenging project starting next year. That one also concerns the 17th century. #genealogy #earlymodern

I love working with church membership lists. Here is a great example. Sacharias Koert was married to a Catholic woman, who left him. He searched for her for four years, in vain. He then first returned to his homeland, and later decided to settle in Tilburg. (30 Sept 1724). #genealogy #earlymodern

Browsing Dutch marriage registers from the 17th century. The bride was the "former mistress of the noble and high-born Jacob van Uitterwijk, captain." Interesting description, especially if this is recorded at your wedding. Did the word "maistresse" have a different meaning?
