Henglias; the collected data of the Hengelo population

Henglias is about the inhabitants of Hengelo in Overijssel until about 1950. You can also find this information at www.henglias.nl .
The oldest dates come from the baptismal and marriage records from 1643.

More than 96,000 people from Hengelo* have already found their place here and their number is still growing every day.
^{*Hengelo people in this context means: persons (or their partners) who were born/married/deceased in Hengelo or who lived there.}

Brackets around the name of a person (see example) means that he or she actually falls outside the reach of Henglias, but is important to show the connection.

In 2007 Wim den Oudsten (1965-2020) started collecting the data. After his death in February 2020, Henglias was continued by Robert Einhaus and since December 2020 by ( eighth generation Hengeloër ) Jan Verkade.

In addition to all those names, this publication also contains overviews of Hengelo war victims, artists, mayors and church pastors. Look below at STORIES .
