Welcome

My father gave me in 2002 3 books about the family van Blaricum, etc. I liked them very much but found it difficult to my own line, especially when you have also separate additions and corrections. In that time I wanted to make a website but didn't have a theme. I decided to make a site with my family tree, because navigating through a digital tree is much easier by the links you can add. Nevertheless is it possible with each tree to print a special version. This print version has no colours and navigating is possible by following the index number of a person.

The basis is formed by the book of mr. F.X.M. van Blaricum and his two additions. Since then a lot is corrected and completed, also thanks to reactions on the website. The data is stored in a database with the program Aldfaer. From this program the webpages with the family data are generated by use of templates.

I keep on looking for new information and pictures, documents, etc. If you can help me with that, please send me an e-mail.

Directions for use

Some tips to make it easier for you to find your way on this website:

If you revisit this site you can see at Changes if there were major changes to the site.
Bleu colored names are links to another place on the site.
Green colored names are links to a pop-up with a card of this person with more facts than are available in the tree. Only deceased persons can have cards.
Purple colored names are links to a pop-up with a footnote about the concerning item. So you have to take care that pop-ups are allowed for this website.
Most of the pictures are a link which will open a new window with a large version of the picture. Click somewhere in this window to close it.
All persons in the database are listed in the several surname lists. There is a list with the family van Blaricum, etc., a list with the family van der Gracht, etc. and a list with other people. Each name is a link to the place in a tree. However some people appear on several places in a tree, that person has a remark with links to the other mentions.
The placenames are followed (when relevant and known) by the county name, an abbreviation of the state/province and a country code in brackets. I use the code lists of ISO 3166, on the Country codes you will find all the countries that appear in the trees. A country that no more exists and therefore is not mentioned in the list, will be written in full.
In the History I want to reconstruct the (joint?) history of the several trees. It is not much yet, but will be extended in the future.
On the page Sources you will find the sources (archives, other family trees, books, other researchers), when possible linked to the relevant website.
On the page Isolated facts is the data mentioned, which cannot be placed in one of the trees.

Privacy

Living people are mentioned in the trees. If you don't want your data on the Internet, send me an e-mail. In that case I will show only the surname (completely) and the first names (initials).
