GENERATION 1 – IEDE (YEDE) JANS AND TRIJNTIE JANS

Iede (Yede) Jans is as far back as my Dutch ancestors have traced.  He lived around the North Sea and was born about 1650.  It must have been a very bleak life in the wintertime with the wind howling off the of the North Sea.  What hearty souls!

Yede married Baattie Sijtses and she died about 1675.  It is not known if they had children.  He then married Trijntie Jans and they had two daughters and a son:  Nn born in 1680 around Hallum, Jantie Iedes born a year later, and their son Jan Ides born around 1686.  Yede died about 1701.
