The name Hoogerbeets supposedly was a name of the homestead Hoogerbeets that allegedly existed in the Dutch village Beets (evidence for the existence of this homestead has never been found). It was Dirk Heyndriksz who moved to Hoorn in the early 16th century, where his son Heyndrik Dirksz was alternately alderman and mayor between 1515 and his death in 1543. Heyndrik's grandson, the well known Rombout Hoogerbeets became the Pensionary of Leyden. In the late 16th and early 17th century descendants of various branches spreaded over the province, some to other places in the country, while only their patronymic, if at all, was written down. This makes it quite difficult to trace them; research is still necessary! From the end of the 17th century the picture becomes much clearer, making it possible to distinguish some major branches. They are presented on this site.
1. Descendents of Heyndrik (Hoogerbeets) This tree originates in Beets, starting with Heyndrik and his son Dirk Heyndriksz, who moved to Hoorn in the early 16th century. In the early 17th century descendants moved to Amsterdam and from there to Haarlem. In the 20th century descendants moved to Scotland and Canada. Much research for this tree was done by Janny van der Hulst. 2.
Descendants of Jan Tijsz Hoogerbeets This tree starts in the first half of the 17th century in De Beemster with the marriage of Jan Tijsz (father of Jan Jan Tijsz) and Neel Pietersdr T(h)ijmons. They had at least three children, one of which was Claas Jansz, the former 'forefather' of the 17th and 18th century branch in Edam. Other descendants are found in Zaandam and Amsterdam. From Amsterdam a branch developed via Dirk Jacob Hoogerbeets (*1932) in the United States. Much research for this tree was done by Klaas Zijp and Frank Smit. 3.
Descendants of Tamis Hoogerbeets Starting in the late 17th century in Zaandam descendents of this tree were found in Amersfoort, Tiel and Leeuwarden. Because fire had destroyed the archives in the Zaandam chruch in the mid 17th century, so far ancestors of Tamis have not been found. Much research for this tree was done by Willem Hoogerbeets (*22 Feb 1892 Leeuwarden). |

InformationThis website is an initiative of Frank Hoogerbeets (descendant of the second tree mentioned above). In 2000 and 2001 he had collected much data from archives spread accross the country, but also from people (especially from Janny van der Hulst, Frank Smit and Willem Hoogerbeets) who in the past had done much research and who were so kind to share their data. The result is a wealth of information which, thanks to the free genealogy programme Personal Ancestral File, could be processed and put on the internet. If

supplements or corrections, please contact Frank Hoogerbeets. |
