MARRIED SONS.
As I mentioned earlier, the Ruijgrok family is a very large family with a rich past .
My research is mainly about the Ewout branch of the family.
But even this one branch is already so big that the overview is not easy.
Therefore this genealogy a survey of married sons.
The first four generations are simple: only one married son in each generation.
Therefore, I will just give an overview starting at generation 4 .
I made the diagram as compact as possible by only mentioning the given name of the broom,
sometimes supplemented by the initials of more given names.
The abbreviation 'ho.’ means 'husband of' .
I only mention the surname (maiden name) of the brides.
Following the names, you see the year of birth in brackets (if known).
Sometimes you see a red line on the right side of a couple .
This means that, during the compilation of this diagram, I didn’t discover married sons of this
couple.
Under the name of the man you see a number and a name of a village or city.
The number represents the total number of children. The name of the village or the city
represents the (principal) place of residence of the family.
In this way, it is easy to see how the descendants of Leendert Ewoutszn. have spread across the
country until about 1900.
The large number of married sons compared to the survey of married sons Zeestraten is striking.
A completeness check (as with Zeestraten) is not possible, because this branche is just one of
the six branches Ruijgrok (van de Werve).
There are several couples with a few or without children.
Of course, that raises questions.
If this is the case, or are the children difficult or impossible to find.
Examination of any wills or estate separations may offer help in the future.
