David Myers asked about the sites(s) that have the Surhuisterveen Brethren Marriage Records. I think that there are a number of such sites. I had luck using the set of URLs below: http://www.doopsgezindsurhuisterveen.nl/huwelijken_van_brethren_in_surhuisterveen.htm http://www.doopsgezindsurhuisterveen.nl/naamlijst_leden_1570___1730.htm http://www.doopsgezindsurhuisterveen.nl/index.htm http://www.doopsgesindsurhuisterveen.nl.htm David, your site(s) and mine are based on the same court records. Wouldn't it be nice to be in Frisia and access the records at the actual source. Would also be nice to know the language used in the particular part of Frisia where the marriages were recorded. I am told that there are many variations of Dutch used in the Netherlands. Fortunately, the names and dates in these records are relatively easy to figure out. Let me know if the above URLs don't work for you. Also, seven of the nine marriages are in Willoughby: one on page 108, one on page 110, two on page 111, and three on page 114. He apparently failed to record the two post-1725 marriages during his European research pilgrimage with his wife Lena, mentioned on page 10 of the Preface of his book. Dwayne Wrightsman

If one bothers to study the Surhuisterveen Brethren Marriage Records, one will notice at least two mis-spellings of the names. Sneder is misspelled as Sueder, and Knepper is misspelled as Kuepper. The original records were handwritten three hundred years ago in script. What we see on the Internet are hand-me-down translations, complete with misspellings.
