Welcome to my genealogy website. I started this website to publish the results of my genealogy research. I am especially interested in the Dutch families van Kampen (Hilversum) and Pardoen (The Hague). Other names include Melessen (Groningen), Coppens (Rotterdam), Wiesenekker (Huizen), Houthuijzen/Houthuijs (Hilversum), Koopman (Texel) and Moerman (Rotterdam).

Not all the information is available in English (yet), but if you have any questions, or need anything translated, don't hesitate to contact me.

You can read more about my ancestors on my blog, Roots. If you want to find out more about your own Dutch ancestors, read Trace your Dutch roots: The Dutch genealogy guide.
