geachte mevrouw,

via deze weg wil ik graag meer informatie over de familie
ADRIAANS krijgen. Wijlen mijn moeder Wilhelmina-Johanna-
Maria ADRIAANS geb. 25-4-1911 was een van de drie dochters van Franciscus ADRIAANS geb. 9-11-1865
zoon van Joannes ADRIAANS geb. in 1833 tot zover ben ik
gekomen.
Kunt U mij verder helpen met mijn onderzoek?

met vriendelijke groeten, Jos Vogels.

I am a descendant of Coenens who immigrated from Noord Brabant,Holland (Zeeland/Uden) in 1848. The boundary changed -sometimes they lived in Uden, others in Zeeland. They went to Brown County, Outagamie County in Wisconsin. I recently went back to Uden and visited with Gerd(ardus) there.

Could you send me more data from your ancestors, so I can make a connection I have certificates.
We have to start somewhere.
Uden and 1848 is not mutch to start.

You can contact me directly at jeannebristol@peoplepc.com. My ancestor who immigrated was Theodore Coenen born in Zeeland on July 22 1801 died on Apr 13 1864 in DePere Wisconsin
His parents were Antonie Cornelis Coenen born Feb 2 1770 in Zeeland and Marie Gysbess Vanden Eizen born about 1774 in Holland?.

Francis Thijssen was my 12th Great Grandfather - he was born in 1545 at Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belguium. His son Daniel Thijssen was born in 1565 at Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium - married Appollonia Ridleys in 1590 at Vlissingen, Zeeland Netherlands. They had two sons, Martin Thijssen, born in 1598 at Vlissingen, Zeeland, Netherlands. He later became a Dutch (and later a Swedish) Admiral and in 1654 was enobled by Swedish Queeen Christine and took the name Baron Ankerheilm. His brother (name unknown, but according to some records his name was Francis - this is still being researched....possibly THE Francis Thijssen who was born in 1600 in Vlissingen, Zeeland, Netherlands) and became a Dutch Admiral and explored the south coast of Australia in 1627)He (son of Daniel and Appollonia) had a son Bartholomaeus Tiessen who married Barbara Kauffmann and they had a son Elias Tiessen (1665-1704) who married Esther Peters....and so on. My main query is: Was this unnamed son really the Francis Thijssen who discovered Australia?? If you have any input, or need any further information, please get back to me!
