My name
According to Dutch naming traditions Coen should have been named Cornelis after his grandfather, but his parents decided it was too old fashioned. It did upset the grandfather for a bit, but he came around in the end and named a boat after him,

I'm fluent in English, and get by in Dutch as I didn't speak or read it much for quite a few years since I was ten, but doing genealogy has improved it a bit again. Sometimes to translate to or from Dutch I will use Deepl.com or Google translate

Coen, thanks to your contributions to the project.
Bedankt
I saw you every once in a while adding people born in Northrhine-Westphalia and married in the Netherlands to Category: Germany, Needs Birth Record. Maybe you also want to add them to a migration category like Category: Prussia, Emigrants to the Netherlands?
Kind regards
I'm not that familiar with German history, so I don't know when (for which time period) the category would be appropriate. Feel free to add them to the appropriate categories, or to update the categories if I haven't picked the right ones. It is a collaborative tree after all, and by me adding the Needs birth record, then it comes to attention to those that can update it.
in a nutshell: Space:Germany_Project_Category_Guidelines#Migration_Categories
By the way: the Migration Category Helper of WBE now also supports Dutch provinces.
Kind regards from Black Forest
