Family tree Rijkeboer-Dikker

Introduction

I started this family tree in 2009 after the death of my mother. While cleaning up the house I found old photo books and documents. To gain more insight of the family history, I started creating a family tree using MyHeritage Family tree Builder. This seemed nice, but soon I noticed that through the Smart Matches incorrect information was obtained.

Therefore, I then first took a genealogy, paleography and BorderDataPro course from the NVG. Over time, I attended another DNA workshop and a Land Registry workshop at the NVG.

I then switched to the GrensDataPro program.

After first removing as much incorrect information as possible, I started building the family tree. First from me and my wife to the ancestors and then in the opposite direction. In doing so I included only the parents of the in-laws.

To check the correctness of my family tree, I did a DNA test. Through DNA matches at MyHeritage, 23andMe, FTDNA and GEDMatch I got confirmation of the correctness.

Sources

To look up our ancestor, I use WieWasWie supplemented by various genology website and the Historical Record Collections - FamilySearch.org.

I also obtain information through search grave monuments, Graftombe.com and findagrave.com and through comments on my website.

I would like to thank everyone who has given me data.

Reliability

I try to verify the information as much as possible. This does not mean that all the information on my website is 100% reliable. Whoever takes the information from my website must check if the information is correct.
