I find it rather interesting how the name of FATHER JACOB KRUIZE morphed over time. Notice how Jacob's father changes (the patronymic). Dates given are death dates in the order of their respective deaths. 1806 - TRYNTJE - JAKOB KRUIZE 1833 - SYBOLD - JAKOB HINDERKS KRUISENGA & EISKE JAKOBS DAM 1847 - EGBERT - JAKOB KNELLIS KRUIZINGA & EISKE JAKOBS 1854 - HINDRIK - JAKOB KORNELLIS KRUIZINGA & EISKE JACOBS 1865 - DERK - JACOB CORNELIS KRUIZENGA & EISKE JACOBS 1865 - KLAAS - JAKOB KLAASSENS KRUIZENGA & EISKE JOHANNES 1867 - JACOB - JACOB JACOBS KRUIZINGA & EISKE JACOBS VAN DAM 1877 - STIJNTJE - JACOB JACOBS KRUIZINGA & EISKE JACOBS VAN DAM Are there any hidden clues in the above? Initially it may have been thought that Hindrik Jans was the father of Jacob. Or at least he assumed the name. But then through the period of 1847-1865, we see the name with various spellings of Cornelis, with the single exception written on the death certificate of son Klaas: but the name of Eiske is also botched leading me to believe that someone just did not know what they were talking about. Then something interesting happens. Suddenly we have unified names in the deaths of both Jacob Jacobs and Stijntje Jacobs. Why was the patronymic "Jacobs" expressed in both places? Why not "Cornelis"? Interesting too that both these records utilize the FULL NAME of Eiske Jacobs van Dam. Why?? 1 Comment Derk Jacobs Kruizinga Home 03/04/2011
