Content:
This book tells the story of Taeke Tjerks and all of his descendants up until now. Taeke Tjerks was the ancestor to the Van Dijk family, a small family from an area between Sexbierum and Oosterbierum in the North of Friesland called De Bjirmen. The  two most important themes of the book are emigration and resemblance or the lack thereof. By combining information from archives, photo’s, letters and stories from descendants, this family history gives us a view on our ancestors as well as the stories of these families. Through this book we learn to know our ancestors as well as the family members on other continents. The book is written in two languages: Dutch and English. The genealogical information is in Dutch, but the family stories are told in both languages.
It has become a beautiful hardcover book. By doing much myself I have managed to keep the price low.
