In Amsterdam on Thursday January 20, 1774, Johan Hendrik Frederik Oldecop, 37 years old and living near the Binnen-Amstel, promised to marry 24-year-old Helena Paauw. Her mother, Susanna Alles, had given permission for the marriage. Both the bride and groom were Lutheran, and lived in Amsterdam. At some point, Johan Hendrik Frederik van Oldecop was appointed consul of the Russian Emperor in Amsterdam. The couple had several children with notable witnesses at their baptisms: Prince Alexander Kurakin (1752-1818) * Jan Hendrik was baptised on 27 March 1769 with witnesses Daniel Butler and Maria Hoogstraten. The child Jan Hendrik, who is listed in the baptismal register as Jan Hendrik Fredriksz, is the son of Jan Hendrik Frederik van Oldecop and Helena Paauw. * Helena Adelaide was baptised on 3 September 1773 with witnesses Prince Dmitri Alekseyevich Golitsyn (1728–1803), ambassador to Holland, and his wife Gräfin Adelheid Amelie von Schmettau (1748-1806). * Michel Daniel was baptised on 14 March 1775 with witnesses Michel, Prince Volkonsky, and Elisabeth, Princess Volkonsky. * Iwan was baptised on 13 April 1776 with witness Iwan Czernichew. * Benine Alexandrine was baptised on 3 October 1777 with witness Prince Alexander Kourakin (1752-1818).

Pieter van Koote (1712-1735), zoon van plateelbakker Willem en zijn vrouw Catarina vant Wout in Delft, ging met de VOC naar de Oost en overleed aldaar. En meer overlijdensdata.

Last Saturday, Randy Seaver asked a question at his blog: "Who's Number 100 in your Ahnentafel?". My Number 100 Ancestor is Cornelis Janse Rosenbrand. He is a double ancestor, because I descend from 2 of his 3 children. Cornelis Rosenbrand was baptised on 31 March 1741 in 's-Grevelduin-Capelle as the second of nine children of Johannes (“Jan Clasen”) Rosenbrand (1714-1798) and Marie de Rooij (1715-1797). At the age of 34, on 14 January 1776 in 's-Grevelduin-Capelle, Cornelis married 32-year-old Catharina van Campen. She was baptised there on 11 August 1743 as a younger daughter of Peter van Campen (1691-1748) and Catharina de Leeuw (1704-1791). Cornelis Rosenbrand and his wife Catharina had 3 children: Pieter (1777-1822), Maria (1779-1808) and Catharina (1782-1864). On 28-12-1775 in 's-Grevelduin-Capelle Cornelis Rosenbrand and his bride paid f6 for permission to marry In 1780 Cornelis' mother-in-law, Catharina van Leeuwen, transferred all her possessions to her three surviving children, including Catharina van Campen, married to Cornelis Rosenbrand. Cornelis Rosenbrand died in Leiden, Holland, on 2 April 1795, aged 54. I don't know what he was doing in Leiden, but it may have been for work. Willem Rosenbrand, Cornelis' brother, and Aert Peterse van Campen were appointed as guardians of Cornelis' tree children. In 1826 Catharina van Campen was living with her daughter Catharina Rosenbrand and her son-in-law Gerrit Boeser (and also my ancestors). Catharina van Campen died in Capelle on 15 February 1835, at the age of 91. Catharina van Campen, aged 91, on Sunday 15 February 1864 around 6 o'clock in the morning Sources: Salha.nl; BHIC.nl; Brabants Historisch Informatie Centrum (archive) in 's-Hertogenbosch; A.C.M.

When the medical terminology for the cause of death on that death certificate is too hard to read, there is one website that cracks that code for you.
