Hello Erika,

I hope you're in good health
Cijntje is a very common name on Curacao. The name was brought over to the island by two brothers from The Netherlands. I myself am living in Holland at the moment so it's kind of back to partial roots. Other roots of mine are negro and south american indian.
What's your history?

Chances are that indeed there is only one tree left originating from Curacao and that your dad is part of it. My father's name is Jose Maria Cijntje, they might know eachother. He did mention family abroad in Sto Domingo, Miami and somewhere else in the states once. The dutch ancestry seems to have died out somewhere in the 1800's. A cousin of mine did find a record in 16-something in a town called Beertha in the north of Holland. We haven't been able to figure out if he's family yet.
