Key:

* = birth , + = death , x = marriage

Format:

Christian Names (*birthplace  birthdate +place-died date-of-death) x place-of-marriage wedding-date name-of-spouse ( birth-death-spouse)

Formation of names in the early 1800's:

Before 1811: christian-name father's-christian-name
After 1811: christian-name father's-christian-name family-name
Modern: christian-name family-name

The father's-christian-name was suffixed with a z. or sz. (zoon) for sons or d. or sd. (dochter) for daughters.

So Hendrik started life in 1746 as Hendrik Gerritsz. (pronounced Gerrits zoon) and became Hendrik Gerritsz. Vlagsma in 1811.
