Because it would look rather unmethodical to name the source with every bit of information, I have tried to keep up with what I received from everyone since july 1, 2000.

For obvious reasons I have forgotten all kinds of sources which I received previous to that date, but I remembered some of them and added it to this list.

 

To anyone of whom I received information but who is not mentioned in the list below, I apologize, mail me and I will add you as yet.

 

First I want to thank my son Marten who helped me the last years with my research in the archive of Groningen.
