Hello Everyone, I am still searching for further information on my VAN DER KEUR family in the Netherlands. I am also still trying to find out if the family is Huguenot. I recently received a copy of a book about my VAN DER KEUR ancestors and have now some new clues but no concrete facts. The book is written in Dutch and I had a bit difficulty translating it into English. This is what I now have: Arij VAN DER KEUR, born between 1685 and 1690 in 's-Gravenhage, Netherlands (no birth record has been found; this information was obtained from his "ondertrouw" -- registration of intended marriage), died Mar 1724 in Leiden; married Tanneke Pieters(dr) DE GROET on 31 Aug 1710 in Leiden. The book suggests that Arij's parents may be Maerten Claesz VAN DER CEUR from Ghent and Annetje Pieterse VAN RAEPHORST. Maerten and Annetje's "ondertrouw" is dated 14 Dec 1687 in s'Gravenhage. There is also a suggestion for Arij's grandparents: Guillaume LE CEUR from Rouen and Maria PLOUVIER from Valenciennes. Guillaume and Maria's "ondertrouw" is date 14 Jul 1647 in s'Gravenhage. Apparently Arij VAN DER KEUR was a "schrobbelaar" and well known within the textile industry in Leiden. There was possible French family names given: DU COEUR, LE COEUR and DE COEUR. It is also said the family is probably French Walloon. Any suggestions where to go from here? Does anyone have any connection to these names? I would like to hear from you.
