Biography
I am Jan Bouman, and around 2008, I started genealogical research. Initially, I focused on my own family, where, in addition to the genealogical data, I also tried to reconstruct the life stories of my ancestors. My family mainly hails from Groningen (Netherlands) and Ostfriesland (Germany), two regions that border each other and have close historical, linguistic, and cultural ties. The family has spread since the mid-19th century, especially in the 20th century, to the USA and Canada. For several years, I have also been working on family trees that interest me but are not related to my own family. From November 2023, I have started documenting my genealogical data on Wikitree.

Thanks for adding so many profiles. I noticed you have added the Unsourced research Templates to profiles that have got sources attached. Please use categories if you want to indicate that a certain event is unsourced or sources are required. The research Template means there is not a single source present. It will also include the profile in the unsourced stats, where it doesn't belong if it has at least one valid source.
Thanks, Michel
I just started adding Pre-1700 profiles for which I have primary sources. However, a more complete overview of an individual often requires more sources. I now understand that the --Unsourced|Netherlands-- tag only applies if there are no reliable sources at all. I don't create a profile in such a case. Thank you for your advice.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.

How are you connected to the Freys? I have quite a bit of informtion in the States but am trying to find more for their pre-immigration. I guess I need to follow your trail back.
Tom Simon (Grandson of Richard Frey (1892-1956)
Thank you very much for your comment.
I am a direct descendant of Fokke Richerts Vrij/Frey (Profile ID: Vrij-23) and Gepke Dirks (Profile ID: Dirks-1103). This couple were also the parents of Richert Fokken Frey of whom you have accepted the merge I proposed. They lived in the border area of present-day Netherlands and Germany, where there was no border at the time of Napoleon. It was to Napoleon's credit that surnames were made compulsory in our regions and a civil registry was introduced.
Immediately after Napoleon's final defeat (1815), new borders were created, including the current one between the Netherlands and Germany. This is very relevant for the Frey family because they lived on both sides of the new border.
In the French period (Napleon), the children of Fokke Richerts Vrij/Frey and Gepke Dirks took on different surnames in the Netherlands and Ost-Friesland (now part of Germany). Frey is the German spelling and Vrij or Freij are Dutch spellings. A son has also adopted the patronymic Fokken (son of Fokke) as his surname. My ancestor, son of Fokke Richerts Vrij, took the name Bou(w)man.
By the way, I have strong doubts about the date of birth of Geeske Hinderks Santjer, as I have described in comments on the sources. If date 26 Mar 1815 is right ten she must have been 11 at marriage. I have also another source (transcripted church book) that specifies 1810 as year of birth.
