In those years January and August 2018 were the months with the most posts (5), followed by July and October 2018, November 2017 and January 2014 (4). The 6th year, 2018, was the year with the most blog posts: 39. In 2019 I wrote ...
The most common surnames among my known ancestors are Van Driel, Oerlemans, Spruijt, Brand and Bos. On this blog the most common surnames in my posts are Bos and De Jong, the surnames of my parents.
My favourite posts of my own ancestors are:
- Arie de Sterke (1796-1892) fought in Russia & at Waterloo
- Thomas Brullee's Whaling Expeditions of 1687 and 1712
- Bos is a common name in The Netherlands
