This is an English language introduction to the Genealogy website of Menno Tjoelker and Trijntje Annie (Tineke) Tjoelker-Schuuring. The picture shows a family gathering at the occasion of our 30th wedding anniversary on 5 August, 2006.
Our objective is to present our forebears and as much information about them as we can find: pictures, anecdotes, documents, etc. Apart from brothers and sisters, further siblings are not included (with some exceptions), but if you share ancestors with us, you may find part of your own family history here as well. The information stems from our own investigations of the original sources (archives, family papers, newspapers, etc.), from direct contact (the latest generations) or, in a few cases, from research by known, reliable colleague-genealogists. Sources are almost always indicated, so you could check yourself.
The site is a work in progress: not even all information we have collected has been included yet, and the amount of available information is continuously growing.
The remainder of the site is completely in Dutch (we are a Dutch family, after all!), with some texts in Frisian (with Dutch translation). Even if you don't have a working knowledge of Dutch, the factual information will probably be understandable to you. We hope you will enjoy our family history as much as we do. Feel free to contact us, if you like! (See contact page.)

For the technically interested:
This website has been made with Gramps version 3.1.3-1 as Narrative Website (Mainz layout), on a computer running Ubuntu Linux. It has been modified and extended by post-processing with personal scripts (for instance, to add maps from OpenStreetMap to the Location pages).
In later versions of Gramps (3.2.x), the website has been changed considerably. Because some fields of the database do no longer appear on the website, we still use version 3.1.3 to generate our website.
