pedigree

It's nice to know one's ancestors.
On this site lies the focus on our own family and the direct related families: Taal, van den Hoek, de Leeuw, Blancke, Post, van den Berg, Cornet, Visser, Ippel en Plomp. Taal about the branche of the family Taal in Den Helder (Holland, Netherlands). A part of the family moved from Den Helder to the city of Zaandam.

The assembled information is partly found on the internet. Lots of other interrested persons have already investigated (partially) mutual family relations. All those who contributed: thanks! Special thanks to Ronald Blancke, a former unknown nephew. He revealed a connection between our family and the famous early medieval emperor: Charlemagne . Also special thanks to Hendrik Visser, who showed the relation between my father's grandfather and already found data concerning the "family Taal" in Scheveningen (in Holland, Netherlands).

During the 19e an 20e century a lot of family members emigrated. (from Bussum, Scheveningen, Werkendam, Zaandam) Mainly to the USA (Michigan) and Canada: Taal, Koster, Visser and Ippel. To the state of Alberta for instance (Lethbridge).

Estonia - Eesti Vabariik

Several people with the surname 'Tael' live in Tallinn and the surrounding area. This corresponds to the old Dutch spelling. In earlier centuries there was a lot of trade between Holland and the Baltic states. Do these Estonians have Dutch roots?
In Estonian / Eesti keeles : Tallinnas ja selle lähiümbruses elab mitu inimest perekonnanimega 'Tael'. See vastab vanale hollandi kirjaviisile. Varasematel sajanditel oli Hollandi ja Balti riikide vahel tihe kaubavahetus. Kas neil eestlastel on Hollandi juured?
