the advertisement from Charles James Vlieland

Today we found the add in the Algemeen Handelsblad  placed by C.J.Vlieland on the 8th and 16th of 1902.


To all pedigreeholders(Genealogists) one
asks for ,name ,adress,residence en occupation
so there was one of the father of JEROME
NICHOLAS (DE?)VLIELAND,born the 27 June
1796 ,Probably in Amsterdam or The Hague.
Letters with statement of fee and so on to
Dr.C.J.Vlieland ,Exeter ,England (30991)

We know there was an answer to this advertisement .
As we learn from the letter in the Dutch archives which was the reason to start our research.
Here is the letter once more.



Never thought to find it in the newspaper anymore.

All over the world from England to Holland to Australia, to India to Canada and South Africa and all places in between we all still ask the same question .
We now know his father is Jan Janszoon Hollander.
We know he was married with Catharina Fris from Leiden in Amsterdam.
When they were married they lived on the big shipwharf Oostenburg where the ships for the V:O:C: were built.
We know they moved to Rotterdam soon after the marriage .
One year alter their first child is born there.
And also on the 27 of June 1796.Jeroen Nicolaas Hollander.also known as Jerome Nicholas Vlieland.was born.
