The genealogical data does not contain information on living people. If people assumed to be living still, this is indicated by "Living person" with indexnumber. Full information on this person can be obtained from the database owner Peter Wijngaard.
Explanation location codes
The codes used to describe the locations were developed and used by the people behind the "Genealogical Research Directory" and the "Roots Surname Lists" and are a complex combination of the Chapman codes, the United States and Canadian postal codes, the three letter ISO codes for nations, and the Norwegian standard county codes. For a description of the codes, see Code Description.
If a location does not exist anymore, or belongs currently to a larger location, city or municipality, the
current location name is between parenthesis. If a location did belong (in the past) to another country, kingdom
or principality, the current country (and name) is between brackets.
The same location can belong to different countries, kingdoms or principalities for different
periods in time. That is especially the case for locations in Germany, the German Empire and
the Holy Roman Empire.
Name Colors
The names of all people on all pages are in different colors:
- Black: the person has a direct relationship with Peter Wijngaard or Inge Ruijs.
- Grey: there is no direct relationship of this person with Peter Wijngaard or Inge Ruijs. The person can be related by marriage.
- Red: there is doubt that the parentage is true. The parentage is not proven from contemporaneous sources, but is more than likely to be correct. It is based on tradition, fits with what is known of the inheritance of land, and fits chronologically.

The genealogy software used to store and retrieve all data is Brothers Keeper version 7.5. The HTML-pages and the Ahnentafel Books are build with the self-made software GEDSpecial version 4.1.
