Lisa & Carolyn are descended from 19 Hendrikus Johannes Croymans.

Our actual tree contains lots information and like any family tree information it is either provided by someone else, hypothetical guesswork, solid facts, information gained from other researchers, websites etc Our sources, which are not on the tree, tell us what state they are in eg most are waiting for either a direct descendant to confirm or for us to actually site the original sources eg BDM's, census materials etc Most of the information is there because it has come from somewhere, nothing makes it 'more' correct until we have verified the information. As you can imagine this is an endless process that we are constantly working through for all our trees. Therefore please feel free to advise us of corrections and if you have researched yourselves, why you have perhaps chosen one possibility over another.

Genealogy is not an exact science, but together we can unlock our families of the past.
