Venhuizen Baptismal Records from 1786 to 1802
Sijmen: Bap. 18 Sep 1796; born 6 Sep 1796 Father: Luitje Tijsz; Mother: Geertje Sijmons
Tijs: Bap. 17 Aug 1794; born 11 Aug 1794 Father: Luitje Tijsz; Mother: Geertje Sijmons Kooijman
[Also note same baptimal page and year: Marijtje: Bap 15 Jun 1794; born 9 Jun 1794 Father Hendrik Groen Mother Trijntje Sijmons Kooijman]
Trijntje: Bap. 9 Sep 1792, born 7 Sep 1792 daugher of Luitje Tijsz and Geertje Sijmons.
[The witness listed for Sijmen, Tijs, and Marijtje is the same: Trijntje Sijmens].
The other Venhuizen birth records list Geertje Sijmons rather the the Kooijman or Bakker surname. According, I am using the surname Sijmons. [RVZ 24 January 1999] (from Rick Zeutenhorst).
