Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie

Should you be visiting Holland, traveling around the Netherlands, consider an hour or two stopover at the excellent Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie at Den Haag (The Hague). You will find de Boo here.

The office is located near the Centraal Station - easy to find on a city map at Prins Willem Alexanderhoff 22. The website is www.cbg.nl We suggest a visit here first, especially for trip planning purposes and best use of your time when on site.

A Dutch Website

In the eighties, I started the pedigree research to determine my ancestry. The main result of my pedigree project is that almost all the persons with the surname de Boo in The Netherlands seem to stem from the same root. This is confirmed by the response I received to a mailing recently sent to all the known living de Boo individuals here. Our common ancestor is Jan Thonisz. (Thomasz.) de Boo, born circa 1620. He married Willemtje Claas.

So far, I have not been able to fit the five lines stemming from the following individuals into my chart:

-Ary de Boo (from Brielle)
-Cornelis de Boo (from Wissenkirke)
-Jacob de Boo (from Kats)
-Nicolaas de Boo (from Groede)
-Velsius Joachim Deboo/Deboe/Debo (from Maastricht)

I have family history to share, and I invite all namesakes and other interested persons to visit my website with homepage at: home.wanadoo.nl/adeboo

My e-mail address is adeboo@wanadoo.nl

-Arjen de Boo, Beverwijk, North Holland
