Last Sunday, February 2, at 8:00 PM, church bells rang throughout Friesland. This was in memory of the flood that hit the province where our family history began in 1825. Although the number of direct human victims was limited, many cattle drowned and diseases broke out that left deep scars on society for years to come.

During the family reunion, planned for September 13 this year, we will pay extensive attention to how the flood affected our beloved family province. For more information, visit: https://nationaallandschap.frl/watersnood1825/

More news about the reunion will follow soon on this page and on our Facebook page
