I am the son of G A T GOVAARS who came from
Breda, Noord Brabant, Holland. Is there anyone out there who relates to this side of the GOVAARS name. I see a lot of you stating the emmigration journey of parents/forefathers but no detail where exactly they emmigrated from in Holland. Any help please??
Cheers
Lex

Well, the brabant line I am not sure yet where they come from. We have found evidance that MANY others in belgium immigtated to holland when the boarders of those areas changes under french,dutch,german, and spanish rule. Mechelen is now in belgium but it is located no more then 40 KM from the area of Braband which is now in holland.

I do have more information for you and Robbert. if you will work with him the two of you could really get moving on some of this information.

I am trying to contact Robert Zaaijer, our cousin in Holland. Perhaps Robbert Govaars and myself can work with him. We do have a language difference of course and my dutch is only so-so. Don't know Robert Z's skills in english. I am awaiting a reply from him in either dutch or english. I send my email in dutch.
Will keep in touch, though I will be away fro two weeks + or so startign tomorrow 16th Feb.
Cheers for now
Lex Govaars.

Unusual perhaps but my name is Alexander Godefridus GOVAARS, son of Anthonius Godefridus GOVAARS and Margaretha Johanna AARTS. My mother was born in Breda and I think my father also. Does that help ?

Hi Robert,
It could be you I am not sure. Do you know Basje Govaars, as she has had personal contact with a Robert Zaaijer. Your mother is supposed to be related to Basje's mother (maiden name AARTS). Does that fir the picture????
