Introduction


The family tree of the Meijer family starts, so far, with Christoffel Meijer, who lived a great deal of his life in Monnickendam (province of Noord-Holland). His origin has been subject for research since 1984, when my great-uncle Hendrik Meijer (1921-1990) started his investigations. However, he could not find a clue about the place of birth of Christoffel, and up to recently, I couldn’t either. In December 2006, for the first time, Christoffel was linked to a location of origin: Hannover. However, "Hannover" is a rather large area in Germany, so it is still uncertain where exactly he was born.

I would like to thank everybody who helped me to compile the family tree. Especially the forementioned Hendrik Meijer, whose investigations gave me a flying start. His files have been put at my disposal by his widow, and for that I would like to thank her too.

Now that the results are available on the Internet, it has become easier to add documents and photos. Every now and then I will do so, making the family tree more interesting to read. Henk’s files contain a lot of material. It will take some time before everything is published on the Internet, so please come back later to have a look. If you have interesting documents yourself (the older the better) you might consider sending me a copy. If you need my home address, just drop me an e-mail.
