About Our Friesian Roots
My name is Elisabeth Nieuwhof. I have been researching our family history for a while now and for a long time I wanted to put all my research on a website. So here it is.
I regret that I did not have an interest in genealogy earlier in my life. About 25 years ago when we were married all 4 of my grandparents and 2 of my husband?s grandparents were still alive. So were all of our parents. Within only a few years all the grandparents are gone, and so are 3 of our parents. Now in our mid-forties, we are the oldest generation.
I am sorry for all the opportunities that we missed to find out, and record all the stories of how life used to be; what their lives were like; what was important to them and so many more questions I would want to ask them. So a few years back I started working on our genealogy. Since then I have spent many and many hours researching my family tree, and that of my husband.(It can be rather addicting) It is astounding how much information is available on the Internet.
I want to encourage those that are interested in researching their family heritage and ancestors and pass all that knowledge on to the next generation, to start now, before it is too late.
I hope you enjoy your stay, and return frequently, because I am constantly adding more information and names.
