I have traced back our familytree to 1545 Jan Hagewolt (1545-1630) born in Staphorst.Jan Hagewolt was a caretaker for the poor in Staphorst, this care was funded by selling church property- and goods and some fonds poeple gave them. My family always stayed in the erea, so far I havent found people who left the Netherlands. Now trying to get in to birth-registers to go further back.Your tip comes in very handy ...THX
