Dear all,
I am looking for the roots of my ancestor Jan Willem Heydelmann who moved to Amsterdam before 1766. He was born about 1736 in Mengede and became a merchant in Amsterdam. He married three times. His oldest son was named "Elias" and the second son "Maarten", after his maternal grandfather Maarten van Eyck. So I expect his father was named Elias Heydelmann.
An Elias Heydelmann lived about that time in Mengede, who became father of at least one daughter called Catharina Margaretha Elisabeth Heydelmann, baptised (Evang.) Mengede 9 april 1734. He might have been the father as well of:
a) Engel Luisa Gissbertine Heydelmann, baptised Mengede january 1738
b) Theodora Luise Heydelmann, married May 1763 at Mengede with Johan Caspar Frese.
c) (Johann) Hermann Heydelmann, father of Johann Wilhelm Theodor (*Mengede 1756) and Johan Eberhard Heydelmann (*Mengede 1760).
d) probably Jan Willem Heydelmann who moved to Amsterdam.
Does someone know more about this family or Elias Heydelmann in particular. Because I live in The Hague (Holland) it is hard for me to check out the archive in Mengede/Dusseldorf.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Derk
PS Unfortunately I am not able to write German.. But I can read (with some help of a dictionary ;-)
