Anthony Hofstee:"... The family was probably Doopsgezind (Mennonite) in origin but by 1784 the earliest known forebear, Jan Hendriks, married in the Nederlands Hervormde Kerk in Drachten. On the 29 February 1784 after three consecutive proclamations and with attestation from de Rottevalle, Jan Hendriks from de Rottevalle and Hiltje Jans in de Zuid Dragten were married. When Jan Hendriks van der Duim died on 25 July 1824 in Terwispel, he was 63 years of age and supposedly born in Drachten. I have not been able to find any sign of him in Drachten or in de Rottevalle. The names of his parents were unknown to the persons who declared his death.
According to a recent source Jan Hendriks was the son of Hindrik Jelkes and Froukje Hinnes. Jan was a labourer. His wife, Hiltje Jans Held, was christened on 21 October 1764 in Drachten, daughter of Jan Rutgers and Hendrikje Oenes (alias Annes). Hiltje died on 23 March 1848 in Ter Idzard, Weststellingwerf. In 1812 the family apparently took on the name Duimke in Zuid-Drachten. Why and when it changed to van der Duim I don't know. From Henny van der Duim I received the following story about the origin of the name Duimke. According to family legends Jan Hendriks Duimke (van der Duim) was a birdcatcher. The birds that he caught were 'winterkoninkjes' (wrens) and the Friesian word for 'winterkoninkjes' is 'tumke' (or Duimke). It is not known why he caught these birds. This story was passed from father to son, etc.
Recent information has given a marriage date of 14 December 1760 in Drachten for Hindrik Jelkes and Froukje Hinnes."
