40.000 near and far relatives - here presented in
English. Gå til NORSKE SIDER
Gathered on these pages are near and far relatives, and ancestors mainly
back to the 1600s, over 40,000 names so far. You will find genealogy from Hordaland,
mainly the western islands, and Hallingdal in Buskerud, Norway.
Here is also a large Dutch and Irish branch of the family, and relatives in
Canada, South Africa and the US.
This is quite a puzzle, and I am
continously working to check and doublecheck available sources. All suggestions
welcome!

VAN VEEN / VAN DER RAADT / VAN DEN BURG in Holland and
Canada: On these pages you will find widespread
genealogy for the van Veen, van der Raadt and van den Burg branches of our
family tree. It all began in Holland some 300 years ago. Today van Veen, from
western parts of Holland, the Drecht area, is one of the more common Dutch last
names. For those with special interests, I have an extensive family history
from Kudelstart, many thanks to our cousin Paul van Veen in Reeuwÿk. I also
have quite good documentation on the van den Burg side, thanks to our cousins
Jan van den Burg and Marian Williamson (nee van den Burg). The van der Raadt
genealogy is unveiled, thanks to our cousins Wim Fase and Olaf Duits!
CASEY / BASS / MASSEY / SHOEMAKER / MC AFEE in
the US: On these pages you will find the Casey
history and lineage complied by retired Col. Donald E. Casey. This is Daniels
grandfathers side, which trails back to Co. Cork in Ireland in the 1500s. You
will also find the Bass and Massey genealogy on Daniels grandmothers side,
trailing back to Theophilus Bass, a member of the Legislature in Jefferson
City, from Taney County, Missouri, on one side. And on the other, back to the
Irish James Massey, who came to the US to seek his fortune, and was one of the
earliest pioneers in Greene county, Missouri, just east of what is now the city
of Springfield. James Massey was a captain in the war of 1812. The McAfees came
from Antrim / Ulster to Missouri in the 1830s.
TOFTERÅ i Sund: Treet begynner med Toft og Tofterå på Tofterøy i Sund, og sprer seg bak i
tid til Austevoll, Fana, Kvam, Voss og Lindås. Det er også grener til USA,
Canada, England og Sør-Afrika.
SLETTEMOEN i Hol: Vår gren av Slettemoen-slekta er fra Søre Slettemoen i Hol i
Hallingdal, du finner også vår gren fra Erstad i Meland og i Vaksdal, og videre
bakover i Loss-ætti til magister Erik Loss som kom fra Holland til Bergen i
1537 og ble lektor ved Latinskolen i Bergen. Han var opphav til en lang rekke
prester i Os og Fusa. Slekta kom til Svensdal i Samnanger midt på 1700-tallet.
En annen gren bredte seg på Osterøy, Meland og Lindås.
Dette
er litt av et puslespill, og jeg jobber kontinuerlig med å dobbeltsjekke mot
tilgjengelige kilder. Alle korrigeringer og tillegg mottas med takk!
