| Story* | [Reijer Note] Per cited book, he lived in a neighborhood of Amsterdam called "Jordaan, a medieval district west of the old city walls. ... The streets in the Jordaan all had flower names and Reijer andhis wife lived on the Bloemstraat (Flower St). We know little more about Reijer. The oldest existing records for the Dutch Reformed church in Amsterdam begin in 1578. No baptismal record has been found but we are able to estimate his birth at about 1574, based on the fact that most grooms in that era were between 25 and 30 years of age and that his son was born in 1604. If this child was not his first offspring, then, of course, he would be older still. If he had a patronymic, it has not yet been discovered. He could have been Reijer the boat work - or Reijer who lived near the bridge. He might even have been Reijer, the son of Reijer, to carry on his father's name. After all, that was the name he gave his son, a name which descendants have carried down in the 18th century. All of htese are tantalizing possibilities. Future research may provide the answers." | |
