Facts and remarks (chronological):

› Housing: Cornelis stays his whole life in Medemblik; at first at Bagijnhof and later at Nieuwstraat.

Facts and remarks (chronological):

› Housing: Pieter lives at various addresses in Medemblik, but after his first wife Elisabeth dies, he moves with his 2 remaining daughters to Den Helder. In 1840, when a census is taken in Den Helder, Pieter’s family is listed as follows: P.H. Meijer, A. Kooter, 2 sons and 0 daughters(!) Not exactly precise.....
› Johanna stays at home to live with her father her whole life.
› On the birth certificate of Cornelia, her first name is clearly written as "Cornelis", though the gender of the child is "female". On her death certificate it is Cornelia again. The registrar must have made a mistake on the birth certificate.


III-c Joanna Susanna (Antje) Meijer, baptized (Reformed) on 12 June 1792 in Hoorn (), cleaning lady (1828), died on 25 October 1859 (scan) in Hoorn () (at least 67 years old), daughter of Harmen Meijer (see II-a) and Cornelia Ment.
She (1) gets married on 24 February 1828 (scan) in Medemblik () to the 25-year old Jacob de Groot, born on 2 March 1802 in Medemblik (), baptized (Reformed) on 28 March 1802 in Medemblik (), bricklayer’s apprentice (1828); bricklayer (1829-1830); bricklayer’s apprentice (1831); ashes and garbage collector (1836), died on 10 March 1836 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 34, son of Pieter de Groot and Jannetje Mannevelt.

Children of Antje and Jacob:

1. Cornelia Meijer, born on 13 January 1828 (scan) in Medemblik (), died on 15 January 1828 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 0 (2 days old).
2. Pieter de Groot, born on 16 June 1829 (scan) in Medemblik (), died on 25 July 1829 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 0 (1 month old).
3. Pieter de Groot, born on 13 June 1830 (scan) in Medemblik (), died on 25 June 1830 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 0 (12 days old).
4. Cornelia de Groot, born on 6 November 1831 (scan) in Medemblik (), died on 13 November 1831 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 0 (7 days old).
5. Jannetje de Groot, born on 6 November 1831 (scan) in Medemblik (), died on 10 November 1831 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 0 (4 days old).

She (2) gets married on 21 September 1837 (scan) in Den Helder () to the 57-year old Hans Diederich (Fredrik) Beekmann, born on 10 September 1780 in Hamburg ), baptized (Lutheran), sailor (1818); dock-hand (1837), died on 24 November 1855 (scan) in Den Helder () at the age of 75, son of Johann Friedrich Beekmann and Maria Margaretha Zurnickel.

Facts and remarks (chronological):

› Both the birth certificate as the death certificate of Cornelia Meijer state: daughter of Antje Meijer. As Joanna Susanna often calls herself Antje, and because of the fact that there is only one Antje Meijer in Medemblik, it can be assumed that this is a daughter of Joanna Susanna Meijer. The fact that Joanna Susaana marries one month later to Jacob makes it reliable to think Jacob is the father (illegitimate).
› Housing: Joanna Susanna is born and raised in Medemblik, but moves to Den Helder after the death of Jacob.
› Both Joanna Susanna and Hans Diederich do not sign their marriage certificate, because they are unable to write.


III-d Jacob Meijer, born on 10 October 1794 in Hoorn (), baptized (Reformed) on 12 October 1794 in Hoorn (), carpenter/shipwright (1817-1874), died on 20 July 1878 (scan) in Den Helder () at the age of 83, buried on 22 July 1878 in Den Helder () (on the Algemene Begraafplaats, sector A, letter Y, number 3), son of Harmen Meijer (see II-a) and Cornelia Ment.
He gets married on 18 May 1817 (scan) in Medemblik () at the age of 22 to Grietje Koorndijk, born in Oterleek (), baptized (Reformed) on 2 August 1792 in Medemblik (), housemaid (1817), died on 22 June 1874 (scan) in Den Helder () (at least 81 years old), daughter of Jan Koorndijk, gardener and Aafje Nieuwenhuijsen.

Children of Jacob and Grietje:

1. Jan Meijer, born on 9 September 1818 in Medemblik () (see IV-g).
2. Keetje (Cornelia) Meijer, born on 4 September 1820 in Medemblik () (see IV-h).
3. Hermen (Harmen) Meijer, born on 15 September 1822 in Medemblik () (see IV-i).
4. Aafje Meijer, born on 19 January 1825 in Medemblik () (see IV-j).
5. Cornelis Meijer, born on 27 January 1829 in Den Helder () (see IV-k).
6. Trijntje Meijer, born on 22 July 1831 (scan) in Den Helder (), died on 21 October 1832 (scan) in Den Helder () at the age of 1.
7. Trijntje Meijer, born on 3 November 1833 in Den Helder () (see IV-l).

Facts and remarks (chronological):

› Housing: Born in Hoorn, Jacob moves to Medemblik at young age, where he starts his family. The family later moves on to Den Helder.
› Remarkable is that on the death certificate of Grietje she is said to be 90 years, and that while her own husband is giving notice!

He gets married on 3 June 1821 (scan) in Monnickendam () at the age of 26 to Neeltje Gerrits Nooij, baptized (Reformed) on 5 March 1789 in Monnickendam (), died on 17 February 1875 (scan) in Monnickendam () (at least 85 years old), daughter of Gerrit Cornelisz Nooij and Aagje Benjaminsz Schoneveld.

Children of Hendrik and Neeltje :

1. Christiaan Hendriksz Meijer, born on 24 July 1822 (scan) in Monnickendam (), baptized on 28 July 1822 in Monnickendam (), died on 20 August 1822 (scan) in Monnickendam () at the age of 0 (27 days old).
2. Aagje Meijer, born on 13 July 1823 (scan) in Monnickendam (), baptized on 27 July 1823 in Monnickendam (), died on 12 August 1823 (scan) in Monnickendam () at the age of 0 (30 days old).
3. Christiaan Meijer, born on 18 September 1824 (scan) in Monnickendam (), died on 3 October 1824 (scan) in Monnickendam () at the age of 0 (15 days old).

Facts and remarks (chronological):

› On the death certificate of Christiaan (1824) Christiaan is mistakenly mentioned as father.
› Housing: Hendrik stays his whole life in Monnickendam.
› Hendrik’s father is often called Christoffel. Though there are persons in Monnickendam with this name, it can be assumed that Christiaan is the father, also by the fact that the first son of Hendrik is called Christiaan.
› The mother of Hendrik (Sijtje Carsten Kempe) as well as Neeltje and her father are unable to sign the marriage certificate, because they are unable to write.


III-f Pieter Meijer, born on 18 May 1802 in Monnickendam (), baptized on 20 May 1802 in Monnickendam (), painter(’s hand) (1826-1837); workman (1837), died on 18 November 1837 (scan) in Broek in Waterland () at the age of 35, son of Christiaan Meijer (see II-c) and Sijtje Carsten Kempe.

7. Pieter Meijer, born on 2 May 1837 (scan) in Broek in Waterland (), labourer, died on 2 March 1919 in Bloemendaal () at the age of 81. He remains unmarried.

Facts and remarks (chronological):

› Housing: Gerrit stays whole his life in Broek in Waterland.
› Housing: Pieter (jr) stays for a while in Broek in Waterland after the death of his brother Gerrit, but in 1906 he moves in with his niece Trijntje (daughter of Christiaan) in Purmerend. In 1908 he is admitted to a nursery home (Gast- en Proveniershuis). In 1913 he moves to Meerenberg, an institute for the insane in Bloemendaal.
› Housing: Pieter is born in Monnickendam, but moves after his marriage to Broek in Waterland, where he stays the rest of his life.
› Housing: Sijtje works as a servant in various places (Zaandam, Ransdorp, Purmerend and Haarlem). Though she dies in Monnickendam, she is living in Broek in Waterland at that time.
› In the Population Register of Purmerend an annotation is found at Sijtje’s registration: "art. 20 KB of 9 june 1869". This means that nothing is known about the person concerned, and that it is assumed that he/she is not living anymore.
› Trijntje Booij and her father never learned to write, and they therefore cannot sign the marriage certificate.
