Common Ancestor
It’s always nice to find that somehow you’re related to someone famous. Today, I found a link like that. The source was a television program Verborgen Verleden which is the Dutch version of ‘who do you think you are’. This episode was about Maarten van Rossem, an historian that regularly appears on Dutch television.
In the show they told us his mother’s maiden name was Nolen. That rang a little bell since I had seen that name before. I started the genealogy program I use (aldfaer), which is very popular in the Netherlands, and hit search. And there he was, Johannes Hugo Nolen, married to Maaike Barendrecht, the daughter of one of my ancestors.
This Johannes however, wasn’t an ancestor of Maarten van Rossem so I had to look into the familyhistory of Johannes a bit. His father was Johannes Nolen, married in october 1814 to Catharina Barendregt. As it turns out, another son of his is the ancestor of Maarten van Rossem, Willem Nolen. Still no common ancestor there.
The interesting thing however is the recurrence of the Barendrecht / Barendregt name. Apperently the Nolen family was rather friendly towards the Barendrecht family. This could still provide me with a link. So I started to research the ancestry of Catharina Barendregt. And a few generations back, I meet up with the Barendregt ancestors I had seen previously for Maaike. So now we find the Common ancestor, Gerrit Barendrecht, born around 1684 in Pendrecht, Rhoon, and his wife Marijtje Cornelisse Klijnen.
It is my mother that descends from these Barendregt / Barendrecht folks via my grandmother. Both were born in Rotterdam. In fact, it’s Adriana Barendrecht, born in 1827 that’s the first Barendrecht in that family lineage. She married Bastiaan Vaandrager, and her daughter Aryna Adriana Vaandrager gave her first names to my grandmother, which was her granddaughter.
One more coincidence is that his father died in Ede, the place where I now live…
So here’s the ancestry of Maarten van Rossem until it connects with mine:
