A significant genealogy discovery was recently made by Sheryl Lynn (Zeinstra)
Pearson. She located the web site of the genealogy of Pytter Anes Anema.
Now who is that you may ask? Well, I'll try my best to lay it
chronologically:
Most of us descended from one of the following Zeinstra's:
Pieter (Peter), Marten (Martin) or Sytske (Sadie) Some of the children of
Feddrik Jans Zeinstra (Fred) and Akke Gerrits Herrema.
Fred was the son of Jan Pieters Zeinstra (John) and Grietje Feddriks Anema
(Grace). Grace was the daughter of Feddrik Pieters Anema and Froukje Sikkes
Rosier. Feddrik was the son of Pytter Anes Anema.
If you would like to visit this web site to see your GGGGGrandparents
(depending on what generation you find yourself) information and their
descendants, the URL is:
http://home.planet.nl/~albert10/Anema/Oosterbierum.htm
This URL may be copied and pasted into you web browser.
You will find Grietje Feddriks Anema listed as: III-c : Grietje Anema
Now, before you get there you will need to know that the site is in the Dutch
language. So grab the multi-language family member, if necessary, and enjoy
the read. Some of the frequent Dutch words utilized and their translation
are:
geboren = born
gedoopt = christened
gehuwd = married
ongehuwd = unmarried
huwelijk = marriage
overleden = died
wonende = living
aldaar = there
zoon = son
dochter = daughter
rond = about
volgt onder = follows below
met = to
waarschijnlijk = probably
Hij = he
Enjoy!
