THE "van Rij" FAMILY GENEALOGY
Including the name variations:
van Rie, van Riede, van Rije, van Ry, van Rye, Verrij, Vrij
In the last couple of years eight of our relatives have collected information about the past and present of over 2500 members of the "van Rij" family,
from 1105 till 2000
Which resulted in the publication of the "Voorlopig Stamboom VAN RIJ"
(for more information about this Book See )
At the 900th birthday of the "van Rij" family in 2005 they hope to celebrate this with the publication of the updated edition of
the "van Rij" Family Tree in Print.
