The Romans could not oppress us, the northern border of the Roman Empire runs right through the Netherlands. The Dutch Frisians were among the last peoples to adhere to the old Germanic gods and to resist Christianity.
@@ANota-og2ypthe Romans did oppress Friesland...but gave up on it cause they were considered too primitive...after their last uprising the Romans thought it was not worth the trouble for a few cowskins...and gave them freedom in exchange for soldiers...and for most poor Frisians the luxury that came with being in the Roman army was quite attractive... Haha...yeah...a Frisian reverend sounds somewhat like a contradiction...
These days West Friesland is part of the western province of North Holland while Friesland now with capital Leeuwarden is his own province in the Netherlands
@@MarkNieuwenhuizen that map was screwy. What it showed as West Friesland is really where the language that linguists (mistakenly) call West Frisian is spoken. Like you said, West Friesland is above the Alkmaar to Hoorn line. I asked in a Frisian discussion group that if we speak West Frisian, what language do Frisians in West Friesland speak? The answer was Hollan (sorry, no accent marks on this keyboard) with some Frysk words. Grinslan/Groningen is also ours, it was split off during our war for independence when the Spanish dug in at Grins/Groningen City and took a while to evict.
My husband, born in Sneek, Dutch Friesland, belongs to a family that can be traced back to 1650 and of which some members belonged to the Frisian Patriots in Franeker, tough people who stood up for their rights. The Patriots in the Netherlands opposed the Stadholder of Orange, this was the run-up to the Batavian Republic, at the same time the French Revolution arose. A 7th cousin is on a missive from the Frisian court dated September 26, 1787, it is a search warrant for 35 prominent Frisians who were wanted for a coup attempt in the Frisian States. Incidentally, what you call West Friesland is called Friesland by a Dutchman, we know a region in the Netherlands that we call West Friesland, that region is located in the province of North Holland.
My great grandfather was born in leer in the 1920's, which is in East Frisia. The family were clog makers and farmers for centuries!. I can trace them going back at least 800 years. It really is fascinating, my great grandfathers surname was 'Osewold', his mother's surname was 'Pielage'. Here's an name that was interesting 'Swibertus Osewold', my great great grandfather. It's very special to have history in such a small, unique and mysterious place!
My grandfather was 2 years old when my Frisian family got to the states in 1896. My last name is DeFreese. He joined the army during WW1 and was sent to France to battle in the trenches. He was a true warrior as are all the true Frisians.
I was disappointed that they did not know Frisia was a nation in the early middle ages. The current parts are mere remnants of Magna Frisia. My grandfather immigrated from Groningen in 1900. I was born a Hiemstra, but was later adopted and got the name change.
My great grandfather John Woltzen brought us to America in 1905. We were farmers. When WW1 began, we dropped the T in our name to sound less German. We are wolzen now, but still Frisian at heart. I want to go home.
This video truly was one of the wonders of the internet manifest. Great to hear how he did his research. My paternal great great great grandfather left ostfriesland back in 1817. Hearing about other peoples research and attempts to find their family history was entertaining and informative. Thanks to you both!
I am East Frisian on both sides of my family. My mother's side (Buss) started emigrating from the old country in 1848. My father's grandfather, Johann Hinrich Friedrich Ufkes, came from Holtrop in 1870. In Adams and Hancock counties in Illinois, there is a large community of Frisian ancestry. In fact, the town of Golden was formerly know as New Ostfriesland before the name was changed to Keokuk Junction. My second cousin, Michael Neal, has written extensively about this community and its roots.
My own family came in 1860. Last name ends in -ga. I'm very interested in learning if the Frisians were originally part of the Germanic tribes, or if they are instead one of the true ethnic minorities of Europe. I supposed it's difficult, since they eventually shared the same general culture, pottery, etc. I see different answers online.
My father's side is Buss. My great grandfather was Jann Rohlfs Buss (b1862) who came to the US (also Illinois, near Mt Sterling) and his father was Rolfe Abraham Buss (b1841). They were from Hanover/Aurich/Ostfriesland.
@@fredufkes7435 Just seeing this... my Buss side (my grandfather, Weerts Buss) also moved to (Southern) California from Illinois. His grandfather was Rolfe Abraham Buss (b1841) from Ostfriesland... maybe a connection?
My father, at age 14 and his family immigrated to America in the late 1950's from Sneek, Westfriesland province. My family here knows a little of our past in the Netherlands but I've been wanting to go much further. This show has been great, helping inspire and provide some ideas how to do that. Thanks!
Sneek is in the central part of Frisia, not west-Frisia. The map shown at 2:30 is not correct and was used on some maps which some historians took over. In fact West-friesland is what now is North-Holland and a part of South-Holland. Sneek is in the province Friesland which is in the 'Frisian' context middle-frisia.
The map is wrong. What they describe as Westfriesland is actually the province of Friesland. Westfriesland is on the other side of the IJselmeer the previous Zuiderzee. Frieland actually extended right down to what is now the province of Zeeland.
"Friesland was never a country" At it's peak, roughly around 600-800 AD, Frisia covered the coastal areas from Denmark to Belgium, with it's capital Dorestad near nowadays Utrecht in the Netherlands. The first notion of the Frisians was by the Romans when they first arrived just before the year 0. So the Frisians have been around for at least more than 2000 years. The North Sea (between England and Scandinavia) used to be called Mare Frisia and the Frisians were skilled sea people. The Frankish were the first to conquer the Frisians and combined with christianization this was the beginning of their end. In the following hundreds of years slowly their spirit of freedom died out, their sacred trees cut down, the balanced power structure between men and women replaced, their control over the North Sea gone, their history denied, their language forbidden. The vacuum left in the North Sea gave space for the Vikings to control the sea, who learned several boat building techniques from the Frisians. I can't help but think that many Frisians fled to England and Scandinavia during the Frankish invasion and that they might have even been one of the instigators to raid the Frankish and other Christian lands. There still a lot I could say, but I'll leave it at this for now :) Have a great day!
More properly an exodus. Pre-anglo Britons were already a sundered branch of Fryasvolk. The hostilities between all the cousins are as old as all the cousins,
I come from Northern Germany, more precisely from East Frisia on the North Sea coast. East Frisian history is very interesting. We have our own language there, called Low German, which is very similar to the Dutch language. Among other things, we have the most leaning church tower in the world there.
Thanks for Sharing your stories,I really should have been trying to study more about the Frisians and I have a much better understanding now of who they are,they sound like very inspirational people.
Frisian is the language father of English thus the language most related to English, and ingovian tribal country of Magna Frisia as it often is refered to now a days actually excisted for over a thousand years. And yes we are the most stubborn people you'll ever meet, we kicked the romans out of Rome to keep our Frisian Freedom 😅
Not a father language, but a brother/sister language. You could say that Frisian is the closest sibling to English, then comes Dutch, then comes German. All of which have ‘west-Germanic’ as a ‘father language’.
Wrong, west Germanic is the term for a particular sub category of the Germanic language family. Proto Germanic spoken 2000 years ago along the North Sea is the father language of all of them
Groningen province was part of the Frisian Freedom, and later the city of Groningen was the capital. This is important as it links east and west Frisia into a continuous country for 700 years. If you're interested in why it was called 'The Freedom' that's another story. These are some of my ancestors, and I'm very proud of them.
Can you tell me about my family Scheltema? My grandfather Theo Scheltema came to the Washington DC area in 1924 from the Netherlands, I think Leiden. Are all Scheltemas related? About 700 of us all over Hans F Scheltema, USA, PA, DC
I can't give you any of the answers I'm afraid. However, things you probably need to know to research this are: your grandfather's official full name. You say his first name was Theo, but that could for example be Theodorus. Maybe he had more names as well. His date of birth. Where he was born. Which religious denomination he was. If he married on which date and where.
Rev. Busker missed the biggest influx of both the Dutch and Friesians was to West Michigan. Led by leaders such Rev. van Raalte. It wasn't really until post WWII that the West Friesians came to America.
My family came during ww2.. my family had a history 200 years at the same farm...and yet I'm stuck here in this country away from my family's country 😠 I wish I could carry traditions from my frisian family
I'm a frisian who's great grand parents came to the Holland, MI area in 1908 from Barradeel, and ferwerderadeel. Surnames of Dreijer ( spelling was changed once in the us). Metz, Heimstra.)
Correct, over a million displaced Dutch and frisians left the country after the massive North Sea flood that destroyed half the countries infrastructure . Many settled the anglosphere such as australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and America
I'm 1/4 Frisian from the German part of Friesland. My ancestors come from places like Groothusen, Jennelt, Wybelsum, and Backemoor so this is really interesting. My grandfather who was Friesian was very tall and lanky. It's interesting to read these comments and wonder if I'm related to any of you.
Although I'm only one quarter Frisian, we trace back to 1650. Our family name goes back to 1811 when Napolean demanded that our ancestors adopt Surnames.
What is calle West Friesland is the nowadays dutch province of Friesland. West Friesland is further west. It's the Northern part of the dutch province of North-Holland.
Bingo!, that was the base for East Frisians who emigrated in the 1800s. The pastor of a Reformed church in German Valley wrote a book on the East Frisians who settled in the U.S.
Anyone with Dutch ancestors also have Frisian ancestors Anyone with Viking ancestors also have Frisian ancestors Anyone who has ancestors from the North Sea coast Have Frisian ancestors
I am 1/2 Fresian and free in the USA. My culture is 100% Fresian and my Ma spoke the language. Both 100% fierce and hardworking and proud. I hang the flag on my porch.
The West Frisian documents they showed were written in Dutch, which was probably the language that they used for most official documentations. Poor guy has to learn 3 languages to decipher the texts about his Frisian ancestors :D
Yes, because form much of governmental parts and school it was forbidden to write or speak Frisian officially. It is still a struggle to gain respect for the Frisian culture and History.
We have Scandinavian roots too. I'm Frisian (Canada now) my sisters got me a DNA test and it turns out i'm 32.1% Scandinavian...the rest is west Germanic...
Hello. The Frisians have the same DNA as the Vikings. ( Scandinavia ) the Frisian kingdom used to be called Magna Frisia. this people stretched along the coasts from Denmark to Belgium. Because with the Vikings, the eldest son inherited everything. the other sons had to rob each other of their own wealth. so there arose around the coasts (also England) Viking population who settled at the sea. this is how the Frisian People came into existence. greetings from the Netherlands.
Frisia was settled before that after the floods of 300-500 by angles and saxons and possibly repopulated by returning frisians and the frisiones in the south. The vikings showed up much later. Very hard to determine wich had the bigger impact. First mention of the frisian nation goes back to 12 B.C.
The capital of Ost-Friesland is Aurich. IN Ost-Friesland they don't speak Frisian, but a Saxon dialect, the OSt-Frisisch or as they say platt. As a Western-Frisian I find OSt-Frisisch totally not similar as my language
My grandmother was born in East Frisia too, but unfortunately she was born out of wedlock, which means there are no state or church records of her actual ancestors. Wish I could go back further
Interesting the way certain values and priorities seem almost hard wired genetically in European (white) populations and cultures. Much to be proud of (and avoid being erased).
At 2:30 , west frisia is a bit wrong. That's the Frisian province , and by Frisian and Dutch historian people called 'middle frisia' . West-Frisia is in the northern part of North-Holland, Netherlands. West-Frisia and Frisia itself is now connected with a long dike called 'Afsluitdijk'. It is just that from old latin the middle-frisia was calles frisia occidentalis (west-frisia) which is synominous to middle-frisia and what we calls west-frisia was in history an extended part of the west frisia know back then , we now distinctive those two as West-Friesland (the extended part ) and Friesland (West-Friesland) itself both separated by a big lake which was a part of the northern sea before the dike was put.
In de video op 2:30 wordt een map weergeven en is West-Friesland een beetje verkeerd vermeld. Dat is de Friese provincie, en door Friese en Nederlandse geschiedkundigen 'Midden-Friesland' genoemd. West-Friesland ligt in het noordelijke deel van Noord-Holland, Nederland. West-Friesland en Friesland zelf is nu verbonden met een lange dijk genaamd 'Afsluitdijk'. Het is alleen zo dat uit het oude latijn het midden-frisia frisia occidentalis heette wat synoniem is voor west-frisia. En het huidige west-friesland in de lange tijd niet meer bij Friesland was maar Holland en tegenwoordig een gebied is in de provincie Noord Holland en later weer als west friesland deel maakte van het uitgestrekt deel van friesland dat we toen kenden als west-friesland , en we nu onderscheid maken als West-Friesland (het uitgestrekte deel) en Friesland (West-Friesland) , zelf beide gescheiden door een groot meer dat deel uitmaakte van de noordzee voordat de dijk werd gezet. Toen heette het de Zuiderzee en na het indijken de IJsselmeer.
Wie yn de fideo op 2:30 wurdt in map werjaan en is West-fryslân in bytsje ferkeard neamd. Dat is de Fryske provinsje, en troch Fryske en Nederlânske geschiedkundigen 'Midden-Friesland' neamd. West-fryslân leit yn it noardlike diel fan Noard-hollân, Nederlân. West-fryslân en Fryslân sels is no ferbûn mei in lange dijk neamd 'Afsluitdijk'. It is allinne sa dat út it âlde latynsk it midden-frisia frisia occidentalis hiet wat synonym is foar west-frisia. En it hjoeddeistige west-fryslân yn de lange tiid net mear by Fryslân wie mar Hollân en tsjintwurdich in gebiet is yn de provinsje Noard Hollân en letter wer as west fryslân diel makke fan it utstrekte diel fan fryslân dat wy doe't koene as west-fryslân , en wy no ûnderskied meitsje as West-fryslân (it utstrekte diel) en Fryslân (West-fryslân) , sels beide skieden troch in grut mear dat diel ist fan de noardsee foardat de dyk waard set. Doe't hiet it de Sudersee en nei it ôfslute fan de see, it lizze fan de dyk, de Iselmar.
@@imtrue2132yes, there was a lake and probably a wet lands there until a major storm during the Middle Ages flooded the area, but did not recede. This created West Friesland and sealed their fate
Regarding the question as to when the Frisians made their way to the US, records show Zwaanendael or Swaanendael was a short-lived Dutch/Frisian colonial settlement in Delaware built in 1631. The Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes, DE still maintains close ties with Hoorn, traditional capital of West Friesland and former Dutch East India Company base. Frisian white clay ballast bricks, Frisian head coverings, and more are on display there. I have no doubt that the Frisians were well represented among setting foot in New York and elsewhere too.
Settlement started by the West Frisian Cornelius May, destroyed village found by David Pitersz de Vries, who also found a "Dutch" boy who survived. A situation with the natives got out of hand and led to the massacre. Both May and De Vries were interested in "harvesting" the whales of Delaware.
Here in Germany East Frisians are famous for their good sense of humor mostly thanks to comedian Otto Waalkes who was born in the late 1940s in Emden. And losts of people like to go on summer vacation on the Frisian Islands with their beautiful large beaches despite the unpredictable weather. But the flat mainland is beautiful too and great for getting around by bike just like Holland.
i was going to comment on the map, but several already have. I would suggest that the map shows where what the "experts" call the West Frisian language is spoken. I grouse about that name for the same reason several have already posted. I would add that Grinslan/Groningen province (sorry, no accent marks on this keyboard) was split off from Friesland by the Swede whom Willem the Silent put in charge of the area during our revolt against Spain. East Friesland was briefly returned to us during the Bonapartist Kingdom of Holland. To answer when did Frisians and East Frisians first arrive, that would be the 1600s. Cornelius May, a West Frisian, and David Pitersz de Vries, explored the Zuyd/South/Delaware River, someone planted a short-lived settlement in what is now Burlington, NJ, off the top of my head i think it was May. Some "north European" bones were found when the streets were dug up for that River Line. There were East Frisians as well as Frisians in New Netherland. The splitting of Holland province was to resolve an old problem, that the two provinces with the largest populations (Holland and Sealan/Zeeland) had ganging up on Friesland and other provinces during the days of the United Provinces. The Reformed Church had already split the Synod of Holland into the Synods of North and South Holland, and the secular government followed suit hoping to keep everybody happy. East Frisian Calvinists started large emigration in the 1800s, originally wanting to be a subset in the German population of St. Louis, but their scouts were deferred to continue up the Mississippi to Savana, IL and what is now German Valley became their big center for settlements in the Great Plains. East Frisian, Frisian and Dutch Mennonites started a Mennonite center in Indiana. There are Mennonites in Missouri with East Frisian surnames. I suspect that they were among those kicked out of Russia by a Czar in the 1800s who settled in Kansas (bringing Ukrainian wheat that started the American Winter Wheat crop) and in time moved east. Sadly the ones i have talked to have lost cognizance of their heritage and think of themselves as German.
Hello I am Frisian (Netherlands) and what you say is wrong what you call as west Frisia is not west Frisia it is just called as Frisia. What now is the province north Holland last time was called as west Frisia. Frisia ever was much larger then it is today it was part of the north of Belgium the west side of the Netherlands the North of the Netherlands part of the north of Germany and even a small oat of Denmark . The whole was called Friesland the country (magna Frisia) the frisian language you talk about i guess you mean rhe Frisian spoken in the Netherlandsbecause it is not the same that is spoken in German (east) Frisia the Dutch Frisian language is very close to English but has also similarly to Norwegian. The German (east) Frisia talk plat Deutsch (flat German) the certificate you show are not from East Friesland (Germany) they are written in Dutch (Netherlands) so it is not written in Frisian but like I said Dutch The way I see it rhe documents you you show are from the Netherlands part of Frisia and there for not your family because they came as you said from German part of Friesland Maybe they are from your wife's family ? By the way the second document you show tells me its from near where I come from ad I see the village names lippenhuizen and wijnjeterp also I see the village name Marrum which is in the north of Frisia not to far from Frisiad capital Leeuwarden what you say about Frisians you are both correct we are stubborn but we are also a proud people. Most Frisians from the Netherlands are Frisian first and Dutch second what you say about our flag is also wrong there are no little hearts on it those are waterlelie leaves.an other thing i like to say is you mentioned ancestry.com which as far as I know is very good for American citizens but for European ancestry you better go with myHeritage.via that I also found relatives from me in the USA So Dutch Frisian are not east Frisians and your documents are not from German Frisia and the little hearts on the flag are waterlelie leaves
The Birth certificate seems to be written in high German not Frisian. I can't decipher all that is written from the screen, but what I can read is definitely written in High German. One thing is for sure that since this certificate is a formal document, it's been written in the official language. Eastfrisia belonged to the kingdom of Hannover from 1815 to 1866 and then to Prussia, so the official language at the time this document was written was German. Before that the official language in Eastfrisia would have been Dutch. The document itself is written in Sütterlin script an old German script used in Germany till 1942 which makes it even harder to read.
Very interesting! Just about all my ancestors were Frisian from Ned going back centuries. All my research was done online, records easily accessible and information freely available. No dna test showed a distinct Frisian profile, however...I'm 25% Scandinavian, the rest Western European and Germanic.
Very funny to see they brought in a Frisian expert who actually knows next to nothing about the subject. The only Frisian province that is comparable to an American state is in the Netherlands. East and North Friesland are not comparable to states- they are now just unofficial historical regions and one is a municipal town government
The children from the west in the Netherlands went to Friesland in 1944 because of the shortage of food. Not because of bombs. The Netherlands were not bombed in 1941-1945. It is known as hungerwinter.
Many different regions have been or still are inhabited by Frisians starting from the entire North sea coast, the entire northern Netherlands and now the north-western part of the Netherlands. The region shown here as West Friesland is actually Friesland proper and is the only part that is actually still Frisian. What is informaly known as West Friesland is further south along the coast and part of north Holland
In the marriage document I see a lot of Frisian and Groninger villages, no Ost Frisian. The word for cheeze is in not pronounced as "tziz" but as "cheeze", written as tziiz.
Being frisian in mind and heart: faithful, trustworthy, enduring, but... stubborn to be cured of, it may be selfish. A sinner from origine is selfish, only by REBIRTH in Christ Jesus you become a more serving, humble person in the power of the Holy Spirit, halleluja
My people came from England and my Farther recently had a DNA Indicated that he is typically English,it also suggested that the amount of Northern European was minimal only 2 or 3 percent and only the same amount of Scandenavian, I assume that Northern European meant Germanic but maybe that assumption is incorrect,are Frisians considered Northern Europeans? or Germanic is there a Difference?
I am a frisian and mine shows up as dane, norwegian and a 30% slice germanic europe 4% british isles. Frisia was nearly whiped out between 300-500 due to floods and repopulated again and later impacted by 250 years viking rule. Safe to say we are a germanic people. Both spring from the area of northern germany and danmark just from different timeperiods in multiple waves.
9:40 I'm pretty sure these documents are not written in Fries, but in Dutch (I'm Dutch myself). Which isn't that odd, since for a long time, it was forbidden by the Dutch government to write or use Fries.
I know this video is 3 years old but it just popped up on my screen and I can't let it past without reacting. There's so much not quite right here. Some mentioned by others already. The birth record is not Frisian at all it's from Alphen and Chaam which is "Brabant" in the south of the Netherlands. Therefore it is in Dutch even as the marriage records. West Frisian is in North-Holland which once was connected to Friesland and for that reason called "West Friesland" and is a region in the province of North Holland. Officially Friesland was as big from Denmark to Belgium allong the coast line. Normally it's not 'you go by the faith which church is located in you town' but there are more churges in every town. The word "Tsiis" (Frisian for cheese) is pronounced exactly te same. Now there's a difference in the Frisian languages because of the modernificasion and connections to other countries but there used to be one Germanic Frisian language and from this language and other Germanic languages like the Saxons the English and Scottish language was derived from. I think the Gothic signs you speak about are the "runes" which were used in a small way until the 17th century but not in these documents. You know New York was taken back from the English by a Frisian person (from my village) in 1673. Take a look at "Emigrants from Friesland" (facebook) for ancestry research.
West Friesland is actually in the province of North Holland, Friesland stands on its own, then Oost Friesland which is in Germany and then there is Nord Friesland which is also in the North area of Germany bordering Denmark. According to Wikkipedia, Groningen is in the mix but I highly doubt any Groninger would call himself a Fries. Yeah, it's complicated. Zillion years ago the whole region was called Friesland, which went along the coastline quite a bit south int he now Netherlands.
In 1673 Jacob Bin jes from Koudum conquered New Amsterdam (New York) from the English again and 1674 Peter Stuyvesant became the general director of New Amsterdam
😂 Cheese in Frisian is tsies (long ie) not stis (short i). Sheep is skiep (long ie). In frisian and in english it is both, not in dutch or German!, singular and plural. Old english and old frisian were identical. Frisians traded a lot in Brittain and with scandinavia, With Brittain already in roman times. The northsea was called frisian sea. Frisians also fought for the romans, surely they did not return after the rom ans left brittain.
The Frisian flag (pompebled) belongs to Friesland, not to Westfriesland (across the Ijsselmeer, Enkhuizen, Hoorn) Being 100% Frisian, with DNA: 94%westeurope, 6% Northwesteurope.
Friesland was part of the viking friend group and kicked the christians ass for a long time with the help of danes. The stubbornness comes from those times.
Napoleon introduced familynames, in around 1800, that is why he stopt around 1789. He should look furter back, the name before ended with their fathers name. So if your father was called Jan and he named you Willem, your name would be Willem Jans.
Discusting, this wrong information giving by Rev. Nathan S.Busker. All bulshit. You do'n't know anything about Fryslân. Stop with this nonsens !!! Our province of Fryslân is not called, WestFriesland, WRONG ! Only the (little part) in the north area in the province of Noord-Holland in the Netherlands is called West-Friesland. Actually, because it took part, more than tausend years ago as a part of Magna Frisia, a very large area of, what is now called the Netherlands. (from the border of Denmark till the coast/border of Belgium.) The Frisian flag has no harts in it, Those are leafs of a Waterplant, called Waterlelieblad/Pompeblêd. Marum, Lippenhuizen, Wijnterp is not situated in Ost-Friesland in Germany, but in Fryslân. Please, do inform properly, before you talk about this in Family Genealogy !!

De keninklike famylje, keizerlike famylje, aristokraten, minsken fan macht, en religieuze minsken binne spionnen, en de minsken dy't stypje harren binne ek spionnen. Mar ik wit net oft se allegearre spionnen binne. Sa moatte jo altyd ôffreegje oft elkenien goede bedoelingen hat. D'r is oarloch oer de hiele wrâld, om't spionnen fan oarloch hâlde. Spies ferspriede falske ynformaasje oer de wrâld om minsken in hiel lân te haatsje. Haatsje net in hiel lân sûnder wat oer elke persoan te witten. De persoan dy't wy moatte deadzje is de duvel dy't tichtby is. Tink yn jo geast: "As jo de duvel binne, sil ik dy deadzje." De duvel oan jo kant sil ferdwine. De duvel hâldt fan jo te kontrolearjen. Stel jo foar dat jo dy demon yn jo geast fermoardzje. De duvel kin dy neat dwaan. It fermoeden dat dizze persoan in "duvel" kin wêze, hinderet de oanfallen fan demoanen. God bestiet net. As jo tinke dat God bestiet, is it itselde as it meitsjen fan in demon dy't noait bestien hat. De god dy't winsken jout is de duvel. Jo moatte jo eigen manier betinke en libje sûnder op God te fertrouwen.
Ja, well, umm, kinda ..... That's HOPE for ya-- Lutheran's are nice folks in the G.R.and scheme of things; he's a nice Pfella and a Calvinist so I won't go full Frisi on him. Oofda, dem east coasters though ....... Are Heifers and Herefords the same thing; what about a Holstein? Frisii, Frysk, Frisia, Frisian, Friesland, so many terms across so many times frames; they DO matter. Language matters, ja know. Languages too, no? All in good fun but seriously, this isn't even YouTubiversity level info. Thankfully it is not YouTubadversity!! My bias be base, yo!
There are only Two tribes in the Netherlands in the North of the Netherlands like North Holland and Friesland and other part of the North are all Frisians people, And every thing else that is not Noth in the Netherlands are the Batavii people. And i live in North Holland and that is west Friesland from Friesland so that makes me a west fries but in west Friesland we do not speak Frisian anymore we speak now only Dutch here in west Friesland.
His Frisian ancestors are probably rolling in their graves, knowing the Roman's converted their line into Christians and that one now propagates the destruction of their culture by becoming a priest.
anyone related to LUITJE DERKS, born Bet. 1725 - 1730 in coming from Garsthuizen, Groningen, Netherlands ?....he was my great grandfather 6 times removed..or something like that
Friesland was a nation before most European countries existed
And we were fierce from the beginning!
The Romans could not oppress us, the northern border of the Roman Empire runs right through the Netherlands. The Dutch Frisians were among the last peoples to adhere to the old Germanic gods and to resist Christianity.
@@ANota-og2ypthe Romans did oppress Friesland...but gave up on it cause they were considered too primitive...after their last uprising the Romans thought it was not worth the trouble for a few cowskins...and gave them freedom in exchange for soldiers...and for most poor Frisians the luxury that came with being in the Roman army was quite attractive...
Haha...yeah...a Frisian reverend sounds somewhat like a contradiction...
These days West Friesland is part of the western province of North Holland while Friesland now with capital Leeuwarden is his own province in the Netherlands
@@MarkNieuwenhuizen that map was screwy. What it showed as West Friesland is really where the language that linguists (mistakenly) call West Frisian is spoken. Like you said, West Friesland is above the Alkmaar to Hoorn line. I asked in a Frisian discussion group that if we speak West Frisian, what language do Frisians in West Friesland speak? The answer was Hollan (sorry, no accent marks on this keyboard) with some Frysk words. Grinslan/Groningen is also ours, it was split off during our war for independence when the Spanish dug in at Grins/Groningen City and took a while to evict.
My husband, born in Sneek, Dutch Friesland, belongs to a family that can be traced back to 1650 and of which some members belonged to the Frisian Patriots in Franeker, tough people who stood up for their rights. The Patriots in the Netherlands opposed the Stadholder of Orange, this was the run-up to the Batavian Republic, at the same time the French Revolution arose. A 7th cousin is on a missive from the Frisian court dated September 26, 1787, it is a search warrant for 35 prominent Frisians who were wanted for a coup attempt in the Frisian States.
Incidentally, what you call West Friesland is called Friesland by a Dutchman, we know a region in the Netherlands that we call West Friesland, that region is located in the province of North Holland.
The 'patriots' betrayed the republic. They are the reason the word patriot isnt used in the Dutch language.
Sure were, and my ancestors were drawn and quartered for it.
My great grandfather was born in leer in the 1920's, which is in East Frisia. The family were clog makers and farmers for centuries!. I can trace them going back at least 800 years. It really is fascinating, my great grandfathers surname was 'Osewold', his mother's surname was 'Pielage'. Here's an name that was interesting 'Swibertus Osewold', my great great grandfather.
It's very special to have history in such a small, unique and mysterious place!
best wishes from leer germany
My grandfather was 2 years old when my Frisian family got to the states in 1896. My last name is DeFreese. He joined the army during WW1 and was sent to France to battle in the trenches. He was a true warrior as are all the true Frisians.
G'day my surname is de Vries which I think is from Friesland.Greetings from Adelaide Australia
I was disappointed that they did not know Frisia was a nation in the early middle ages. The current parts are mere remnants of Magna Frisia. My grandfather immigrated from Groningen in 1900. I was born a Hiemstra, but was later adopted and got the name change.
When my family left Frisia for Germany in the 1600s they were renamed Frese.
My great grandfather John Woltzen brought us to America in 1905. We were farmers. When WW1 began, we dropped the T in our name to sound less German. We are wolzen now, but still Frisian at heart. I want to go home.
We are probably related distantly. We kept the 't' though during immigration in 1891.
This video truly was one of the wonders of the internet manifest. Great to hear how he did his research. My paternal great great great grandfather left ostfriesland back in 1817. Hearing about other peoples research and attempts to find their family history was entertaining and informative. Thanks to you both!
I am East Frisian on both sides of my family. My mother's side (Buss) started emigrating from the old country in 1848. My father's grandfather, Johann Hinrich Friedrich Ufkes, came from Holtrop in 1870. In Adams and Hancock counties in Illinois, there is a large community of Frisian ancestry. In fact, the town of Golden was formerly know as New Ostfriesland before the name was changed to Keokuk Junction. My second cousin, Michael Neal, has written extensively about this community and its roots.
I know Buss from Canada. Are you from Canada too ?
@@thomasm1281 nope. Western Illinois now living in California
My own family came in 1860. Last name ends in -ga.
I'm very interested in learning if the Frisians were originally part of the Germanic tribes, or if they are instead one of the true ethnic minorities of Europe. I supposed it's difficult, since they eventually shared the same general culture, pottery, etc. I see different answers online.
My father's side is Buss. My great grandfather was Jann Rohlfs Buss (b1862) who came to the US (also Illinois, near Mt Sterling) and his father was Rolfe Abraham Buss (b1841). They were from Hanover/Aurich/Ostfriesland.
@@fredufkes7435 Just seeing this... my Buss side (my grandfather, Weerts Buss) also moved to (Southern) California from Illinois. His grandfather was Rolfe Abraham Buss (b1841) from Ostfriesland... maybe a connection?
My father, at age 14 and his family immigrated to America in the late 1950's from Sneek, Westfriesland province. My family here knows a little of our past in the Netherlands but I've been wanting to go much further. This show has been great, helping inspire and provide some ideas how to do that. Thanks!
If you need any help , I do genealogy for a while my family is also part Frisian. ;)
Sneek is in the central part of Frisia, not west-Frisia. The map shown at 2:30 is not correct and was used on some maps which some historians took over. In fact West-friesland is what now is North-Holland and a part of South-Holland. Sneek is in the province Friesland which is in the 'Frisian' context middle-frisia.
I love learning about the Frisians, the Frisian-Americans & even the Frisian-Canadians.
The map is wrong. What they describe as Westfriesland is actually the province of Friesland.
Westfriesland is on the other side of the IJselmeer the previous Zuiderzee. Frieland actually extended right down to what is now the province of Zeeland.
Frisia needs to be its own country again
Frisia is Belgium Zeeland South Holland North Holland Friesland Groningen North Saxony and Denmark. together.
En sa is it mar net ! Fryslan boppe hey
"Friesland was never a country"
At it's peak, roughly around 600-800 AD, Frisia covered the coastal areas from Denmark to Belgium, with it's capital Dorestad near nowadays Utrecht in the Netherlands.
The first notion of the Frisians was by the Romans when they first arrived just before the year 0. So the Frisians have been around for at least more than 2000 years. The North Sea (between England and Scandinavia) used to be called Mare Frisia and the Frisians were skilled sea people.
The Frankish were the first to conquer the Frisians and combined with christianization this was the beginning of their end. In the following hundreds of years slowly their spirit of freedom died out, their sacred trees cut down, the balanced power structure between men and women replaced, their control over the North Sea gone, their history denied, their language forbidden.
The vacuum left in the North Sea gave space for the Vikings to control the sea, who learned several boat building techniques from the Frisians. I can't help but think that many Frisians fled to England and Scandinavia during the Frankish invasion and that they might have even been one of the instigators to raid the Frankish and other Christian lands.
There still a lot I could say, but I'll leave it at this for now :) Have a great day!
More properly an exodus. Pre-anglo Britons were already a sundered branch of Fryasvolk. The hostilities between all the cousins are as old as all the cousins,
The Frisian were the first European group to recognize the United States of America's independence. Look it up.
I come from Northern Germany, more precisely from East Frisia on the North Sea coast. East Frisian history is very interesting. We have our own language there, called Low German, which is very similar to the Dutch language. Among other things, we have the most leaning church tower in the world there.
Thanks for Sharing your stories,I really should have been trying to study more about the Frisians and I have a much better understanding now of who they are,they sound like very inspirational people.
Frisian is the language father of English thus the language most related to English, and ingovian tribal country of Magna Frisia as it often is refered to now a days actually excisted for over a thousand years.
And yes we are the most stubborn people you'll ever meet, we kicked the romans out of Rome to keep our Frisian Freedom 😅
Not a father language, but a brother/sister language. You could say that Frisian is the closest sibling to English, then comes Dutch, then comes German. All of which have ‘west-Germanic’ as a ‘father language’.
Oh yah, my pigheaded stubbornness runs DEEP! 😅
Wrong, west Germanic is the term for a particular sub category of the Germanic language family. Proto Germanic spoken 2000 years ago along the North Sea is the father language of all of them
Groningen province was part of the Frisian Freedom, and later the city of Groningen was the capital. This is important as it links east and west Frisia into a continuous country for 700 years.
If you're interested in why it was called 'The Freedom' that's another story.
These are some of my ancestors, and I'm very proud of them.
I myself go back atleast to the 15th century, ( decendent of the family of the wife of Pier Gerlofs Donia, aka grutte pier), have you heard of him.
*”Now is Coward killing time!”*
Grutte Pier after killing half of the Dutch and Habsburg soldiers on his own with a Giant sword.
@PikSoepBlik, he he👍🏻
Can you tell me about my family Scheltema? My grandfather Theo Scheltema came to the Washington DC area in 1924 from the Netherlands, I think Leiden. Are all Scheltemas related? About 700 of us all over
Hans F Scheltema, USA, PA, DC
I can't give you any of the answers I'm afraid. However, things you probably need to know to research this are: your grandfather's official full name. You say his first name was Theo, but that could for example be Theodorus. Maybe he had more names as well. His date of birth. Where he was born. Which religious denomination he was. If he married on which date and where.
Ha! I am an Uden, from St.Paul, Minnesota. Thanks for the history lesson cuz.
Rev. Busker missed the biggest influx of both the Dutch and Friesians was to West Michigan. Led by leaders such Rev. van Raalte. It wasn't really until post WWII that the West Friesians came to America.
My family came during ww2.. my family had a history 200 years at the same farm...and yet I'm stuck here in this country away from my family's country 😠 I wish I could carry traditions from my frisian family
I'm a direct descendant of the West Michigan Friesian immigrants, the Dykstras! :-)
Holland Michigan has a bunch of them. (I'm a Van Wieren)
I'm a frisian who's great grand parents came to the Holland, MI area in 1908 from Barradeel, and ferwerderadeel. Surnames of Dreijer ( spelling was changed once in the us). Metz, Heimstra.)
Correct, over a million displaced Dutch and frisians left the country after the massive North Sea flood that destroyed half the countries infrastructure . Many settled the anglosphere such as australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and America
I'm 1/4 Frisian from the German part of Friesland. My ancestors come from places like Groothusen, Jennelt, Wybelsum, and Backemoor so this is really interesting. My grandfather who was Friesian was very tall and lanky. It's interesting to read these comments and wonder if I'm related to any of you.
Although I'm only one quarter Frisian, we trace back to 1650. Our family name goes back to 1811 when Napolean demanded that our ancestors adopt Surnames.
To me the language of the birth records are in duch
Thank you...........picked up some good pointers to start my search.
I believe from my research that my ancestors came to Virginia from Friesland in 1623.
What is calle West Friesland is the nowadays dutch province of Friesland. West Friesland is further west. It's the Northern part of the dutch province of North-Holland.
If you are a Midwestern USA Frisian, Visit the museum in German Valley Illinois .
Thanks for the tip.😀
Bingo!, that was the base for East Frisians who emigrated in the 1800s. The pastor of a Reformed church in German Valley wrote a book on the East Frisians who settled in the U.S.
Anyone with Dutch ancestors also have Frisian ancestors
Anyone with Viking ancestors also have Frisian ancestors
Anyone who has ancestors from the North Sea coast Have Frisian ancestors
I am 1/2 Fresian and free in the USA. My culture is 100% Fresian and my Ma spoke the language. Both 100% fierce and hardworking and proud. I hang the flag on my porch.
My great grandfather,was ostfriesian and my Great Grandmother was west friesian and they met on the boat coming to America!!!.😊
The West Frisian documents they showed were written in Dutch, which was probably the language that they used for most official documentations. Poor guy has to learn 3 languages to decipher the texts about his Frisian ancestors :D
Yes, because form much of governmental parts and school it was forbidden to write or speak Frisian officially.
It is still a struggle to gain respect for the Frisian culture and History.
We have Scandinavian roots too. I'm Frisian (Canada now) my sisters got me a DNA test and it turns out i'm 32.1% Scandinavian...the rest is west Germanic...
Hello. The Frisians have the same DNA as the Vikings. ( Scandinavia ) the Frisian kingdom used to be called Magna Frisia. this people stretched along the coasts from Denmark to Belgium. Because with the Vikings, the eldest son inherited everything. the other sons had to rob each other of their own wealth. so there arose around the coasts (also England) Viking population who settled at the sea. this is how the Frisian People came into existence. greetings from the Netherlands.
Frisia was settled before that after the floods of 300-500 by angles and saxons and possibly repopulated by returning frisians and the frisiones in the south. The vikings showed up much later. Very hard to determine wich had the bigger impact. First mention of the frisian nation goes back to 12 B.C.
Some say they were Frisians before they were Vikings
The capital of Ost-Friesland is Aurich. IN Ost-Friesland they don't speak Frisian, but a Saxon dialect, the OSt-Frisisch or as they say platt. As a Western-Frisian I find OSt-Frisisch totally not similar as my language
My grandmother was born in East Frisia too, but unfortunately she was born out of wedlock, which means there are no state or church records of her actual ancestors. Wish I could go back further
Interesting the way certain values and priorities seem almost hard wired genetically in European (white) populations and cultures. Much to be proud of (and avoid being erased).
Busker is a Groningen family
great immigrants, a whole different story compared to nowadays immigrants
At 2:30 , west frisia is a bit wrong. That's the Frisian province , and by Frisian and Dutch historian people called 'middle frisia' . West-Frisia is in the northern part of North-Holland, Netherlands. West-Frisia and Frisia itself is now connected with a long dike called 'Afsluitdijk'. It is just that from old latin the middle-frisia was calles frisia occidentalis (west-frisia) which is synominous to middle-frisia and what we calls west-frisia was in history an extended part of the west frisia know back then , we now distinctive those two as West-Friesland (the extended part ) and Friesland (West-Friesland) itself both separated by a big lake which was a part of the northern sea before the dike was put.
In de video op 2:30 wordt een map weergeven en is West-Friesland een beetje verkeerd vermeld. Dat is de Friese provincie, en door Friese en Nederlandse geschiedkundigen 'Midden-Friesland' genoemd. West-Friesland ligt in het noordelijke deel van Noord-Holland, Nederland. West-Friesland en Friesland zelf is nu verbonden met een lange dijk genaamd 'Afsluitdijk'. Het is alleen zo dat uit het oude latijn het midden-frisia frisia occidentalis heette wat synoniem is voor west-frisia. En het huidige west-friesland in de lange tijd niet meer bij Friesland was maar Holland en tegenwoordig een gebied is in de provincie Noord Holland en later weer als west friesland deel maakte van het uitgestrekt deel van friesland dat we toen kenden als west-friesland , en we nu onderscheid maken als West-Friesland (het uitgestrekte deel) en Friesland (West-Friesland) , zelf beide gescheiden door een groot meer dat deel uitmaakte van de noordzee voordat de dijk werd gezet. Toen heette het de Zuiderzee en na het indijken de IJsselmeer.
Wie yn de fideo op 2:30 wurdt in map werjaan en is West-fryslân in bytsje ferkeard neamd. Dat is de Fryske provinsje, en troch Fryske en Nederlânske geschiedkundigen 'Midden-Friesland' neamd. West-fryslân leit yn it noardlike diel fan Noard-hollân, Nederlân. West-fryslân en Fryslân sels is no ferbûn mei in lange dijk neamd 'Afsluitdijk'. It is allinne sa dat út it âlde latynsk it midden-frisia frisia occidentalis hiet wat synonym is foar west-frisia. En it hjoeddeistige west-fryslân yn de lange tiid net mear by Fryslân wie mar Hollân en tsjintwurdich in gebiet is yn de provinsje Noard Hollân en letter wer as west fryslân diel makke fan it utstrekte diel fan fryslân dat wy doe't koene as west-fryslân , en wy no ûnderskied meitsje as West-fryslân (it utstrekte diel) en Fryslân (West-fryslân) , sels beide skieden troch in grut mear dat diel ist fan de noardsee foardat de dyk waard set. Doe't hiet it de Sudersee en nei it ôfslute fan de see, it lizze fan de dyk, de Iselmar.
@@imtrue2132yes, there was a lake and probably a wet lands there until a major storm during the Middle Ages flooded the area, but did not recede. This created West Friesland and sealed their fate
Regarding the question as to when the Frisians made their way to the US, records show Zwaanendael or Swaanendael was a short-lived Dutch/Frisian colonial settlement in Delaware built in 1631. The Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes, DE still maintains close ties with Hoorn, traditional capital of West Friesland and former Dutch East India Company base. Frisian white clay ballast bricks, Frisian head coverings, and more are on display there. I have no doubt that the Frisians were well represented among setting foot in New York and elsewhere too.
Settlement started by the West Frisian Cornelius May, destroyed village found by David Pitersz de Vries, who also found a "Dutch" boy who survived. A situation with the natives got out of hand and led to the massacre. Both May and De Vries were interested in "harvesting" the whales of Delaware.
Here in Germany East Frisians are famous for their good sense of humor mostly thanks to comedian Otto Waalkes who was born in the late 1940s in Emden. And losts of people like to go on summer vacation on the Frisian Islands with their beautiful large beaches despite the unpredictable weather. But the flat mainland is beautiful too and great for getting around by bike just like Holland.
i was going to comment on the map, but several already have. I would suggest that the map shows where what the "experts" call the West Frisian language is spoken. I grouse about that name for the same reason several have already posted. I would add that Grinslan/Groningen province (sorry, no accent marks on this keyboard) was split off from Friesland by the Swede whom Willem the Silent put in charge of the area during our revolt against Spain. East Friesland was briefly returned to us during the Bonapartist Kingdom of Holland. To answer when did Frisians and East Frisians first arrive, that would be the 1600s. Cornelius May, a West Frisian, and David Pitersz de Vries, explored the Zuyd/South/Delaware River, someone planted a short-lived settlement in what is now Burlington, NJ, off the top of my head i think it was May. Some "north European" bones were found when the streets were dug up for that River Line. There were East Frisians as well as Frisians in New Netherland. The splitting of Holland province was to resolve an old problem, that the two provinces with the largest populations (Holland and Sealan/Zeeland) had ganging up on Friesland and other provinces during the days of the United Provinces. The Reformed Church had already split the Synod of Holland into the Synods of North and South Holland, and the secular government followed suit hoping to keep everybody happy. East Frisian Calvinists started large emigration in the 1800s, originally wanting to be a subset in the German population of St. Louis, but their scouts were deferred to continue up the Mississippi to Savana, IL and what is now German Valley became their big center for settlements in the Great Plains. East Frisian, Frisian and Dutch Mennonites started a Mennonite center in Indiana. There are Mennonites in Missouri with East Frisian surnames. I suspect that they were among those kicked out of Russia by a Czar in the 1800s who settled in Kansas (bringing Ukrainian wheat that started the American Winter Wheat crop) and in time moved east. Sadly the ones i have talked to have lost cognizance of their heritage and think of themselves as German.
Hello I am Frisian (Netherlands) and what you say is wrong what you call as west Frisia is not west Frisia it is just called as Frisia.
What now is the province north Holland last time was called as west Frisia. Frisia ever was much larger then it is today it was part of the north of Belgium the west side of the Netherlands the North of the Netherlands part of the north of Germany and even a small oat of Denmark .
The whole was called Friesland the country (magna Frisia) the frisian language you talk about i guess you mean rhe Frisian spoken in the Netherlandsbecause it is not the same that is spoken in German (east) Frisia the Dutch Frisian language is very close to English but has also similarly to Norwegian. The German (east) Frisia talk plat Deutsch (flat German) the certificate you show are not from East Friesland (Germany) they are written in Dutch (Netherlands) so it is not written in Frisian but like I said Dutch
The way I see it rhe documents you you show are from the Netherlands part of Frisia and there for not your family because they came as you said from German part of Friesland
Maybe they are from your wife's family ? By the way the second document you show tells me its from near where I come from ad I see the village names lippenhuizen and wijnjeterp also I see the village name Marrum which is in the north of Frisia not to far from Frisiad capital Leeuwarden what you say about Frisians you are both correct we are stubborn but we are also a proud people. Most Frisians from the Netherlands are Frisian first and Dutch second what you say about our flag is also wrong there are no little hearts on it those are waterlelie leaves.an other thing i like to say is you mentioned ancestry.com which as far as I know is very good for American citizens but for European ancestry you better go with myHeritage.via that I also found relatives from me in the USA
So Dutch Frisian are not east Frisians and your documents are not from German Frisia and the little hearts on the flag are waterlelie leaves
The Birth certificate seems to be written in high German not Frisian. I can't decipher all that is written from the screen, but what I can read is definitely written in High German. One thing is for sure that since this certificate is a formal document, it's been written in the official language. Eastfrisia belonged to the kingdom of Hannover from 1815 to 1866 and then to Prussia, so the official language at the time this document was written was German. Before that the official language in Eastfrisia would have been Dutch. The document itself is written in Sütterlin script an old German script used in Germany till 1942 which makes it even harder to read.
Very interesting! Just about all my ancestors were Frisian from Ned going back centuries. All my research was done online, records easily accessible and information freely available.
No dna test showed a distinct Frisian profile, however...I'm 25% Scandinavian, the rest Western European and Germanic.
Very funny to see they brought in a Frisian expert who actually knows next to nothing about the subject. The only Frisian province that is comparable to an American state is in the Netherlands. East and North Friesland are not comparable to states- they are now just unofficial historical regions and one is a municipal town government
The children from the west in the Netherlands went to Friesland in 1944 because of the shortage of food. Not because of bombs. The Netherlands were not bombed in 1941-1945.
It is known as hungerwinter.
My mother and her brother went to relatives in Bergum Friesland in 1944
My family from Frieslan surname Wypkema would love to know more😊
Friesland NATION! Ukraine NATION !Catalonia NATION!
Many different regions have been or still are inhabited by Frisians starting from the entire North sea coast, the entire northern Netherlands and now the north-western part of the Netherlands. The region shown here as West Friesland is actually Friesland proper and is the only part that is actually still Frisian. What is informaly known as West Friesland is further south along the coast and part of north Holland
My last name is van Staveren yet when I visited the town by the name the name was unheard of. The family religeon was Catholic.
In the marriage document I see a lot of Frisian and Groninger villages, no Ost Frisian.
The word for cheeze is in not pronounced as "tziz" but as "cheeze", written as tziiz.
Being frisian in mind and heart: faithful, trustworthy, enduring, but... stubborn to be cured of, it may be selfish.
A sinner from origine is selfish, only by REBIRTH in Christ Jesus you become a more serving, humble person in the power of the Holy Spirit, halleluja
My father's mother was Klasema and an orphan.
My people came from England and my Farther recently had a DNA Indicated that he is typically English,it also suggested that the amount of Northern European was minimal only 2 or 3 percent and only the same amount of Scandenavian, I assume that Northern European meant Germanic but maybe that assumption is incorrect,are Frisians considered Northern Europeans? or Germanic is there a Difference?
I am a frisian and mine shows up as dane, norwegian and a 30% slice germanic europe 4% british isles. Frisia was nearly whiped out between 300-500 due to floods and repopulated again and later impacted by 250 years viking rule. Safe to say we are a germanic people. Both spring from the area of northern germany and danmark just from different timeperiods in multiple waves.
My Frisian family moved to Red Deer Canada
9:40 I'm pretty sure these documents are not written in Fries, but in Dutch (I'm Dutch myself). Which isn't that odd, since for a long time, it was forbidden by the Dutch government to write or use Fries.
Interesting intervieuw , ..........
I know this video is 3 years old but it just popped up on my screen and I can't let it past without reacting. There's so much not quite right here. Some mentioned by others already. The birth record is not Frisian at all it's from Alphen and Chaam which is "Brabant" in the south of the Netherlands. Therefore it is in Dutch even as the marriage records. West Frisian is in North-Holland which once was connected to Friesland and for that reason called "West Friesland" and is a region in the province of North Holland. Officially Friesland was as big from Denmark to Belgium allong the coast line. Normally it's not 'you go by the faith which church is located in you town' but there are more churges in every town. The word "Tsiis" (Frisian for cheese) is pronounced exactly te same. Now there's a difference in the Frisian languages because of the modernificasion and connections to other countries but there used to be one Germanic Frisian language and from this language and other Germanic languages like the Saxons the English and Scottish language was derived from. I think the Gothic signs you speak about are the "runes" which were used in a small way until the 17th century but not in these documents.
You know New York was taken back from the English by a Frisian person (from my village) in 1673.
Take a look at "Emigrants from Friesland" (facebook) for ancestry research.
West Friesland is actually in the province of North Holland, Friesland stands on its own, then Oost Friesland which is in Germany and then there is Nord Friesland which is also in the North area of Germany bordering Denmark. According to Wikkipedia, Groningen is in the mix but I highly doubt any Groninger would call himself a Fries. Yeah, it's complicated. Zillion years ago the whole region was called Friesland, which went along the coastline quite a bit south int he now Netherlands.
The Boomsma record is written much later. It is not an original church record
G'day All, I think my surname is from Friesland de Vries greetings from Adelaide Australia
Given that DeVries translates to "Of or From Friesland" or "the Frisian", I'd say you are on to something.
G'day from the USA.
In 1673 Jacob Bin jes from Koudum conquered New Amsterdam (New York) from the English again and 1674 Peter Stuyvesant became the general director of New Amsterdam
😂 Cheese in Frisian is tsies (long ie) not stis (short i).
Sheep is skiep (long ie). In frisian and in english it is both, not in dutch or German!, singular and plural.
Old english and old frisian were identical.
Frisians traded a lot in Brittain and with scandinavia, With Brittain already in roman times. The northsea was called frisian sea.
Frisians also fought for the romans, surely they did not return after the rom
ans left brittain.
The Frisian flag (pompebled) belongs to Friesland, not to Westfriesland (across the Ijsselmeer, Enkhuizen, Hoorn)
Being 100% Frisian,
with DNA: 94%westeurope, 6% Northwesteurope.
Thanks for your post. My DNA test results indicate that I have Frisian heritage.
stunning how much they have wrong in this video
The Boomsma record is written in Dutch. Not Frisian!
Hidde Maas was indeed a wellknown actor.
So is Famke Jansen. (Famke is Frysk (Frisian) for little girl/baby girl)
edited for spelling
Friesland was part of the viking friend group and kicked the christians ass for a long time with the help of danes. The stubbornness comes from those times.

North Frisian descent here!
my father came from Leeuwarden
So did my mom's parents (both of them).
edit: Hi, neighbor!
For research you ll better check Tresoar or allefriezen, Osga is for the German side.
to make it even more difficult there is a second "Westfriesland"
in general North of Amsterdam .
The capital of East Frisia is Aurich, isn't it
I have a family tree that goes back to Peter Sax a Friesian who wrote about a flood
The written language is in dutch, not in frysk
They always forgot that Amsterdam was Frisian too, and so Southampton in England
Napoleon introduced familynames, in around 1800, that is why he stopt around 1789.
He should look furter back, the name before ended with their fathers name. So if your father was called Jan and he named you Willem, your name would be Willem Jans.
1811 surnames were mandated. I obtained a copy of his decree.
Discusting, this wrong information giving by Rev. Nathan S.Busker. All bulshit. You do'n't know anything about Fryslân. Stop with this nonsens !!! Our province of Fryslân is not called, WestFriesland, WRONG !
Only the (little part) in the north area in the province of Noord-Holland in the Netherlands is called West-Friesland. Actually, because it took part, more than tausend years ago as a part of Magna Frisia, a very large area of, what is now called the Netherlands. (from the border of Denmark till the coast/border of Belgium.)
The Frisian flag has no harts in it, Those are leafs of a Waterplant, called Waterlelieblad/Pompeblêd. Marum, Lippenhuizen, Wijnterp is not situated in Ost-Friesland in Germany, but in Fryslân. Please, do inform properly, before you talk about this in Family Genealogy !!
(my english is bad, I am sorry for that!)

Wy wenje yn in stêd dy't liket op in kompjûter motherbord.
Wy libje yn in planetarium.
Wy libje yn in 3D firtuele werklikheid wrâld.
Yn ús deistich libben is it as it sjen fan in 3D-film.
Wa produsearret CG?
CG makke troch demoanen om minsken te marteljen.
In CG makke troch demoanen om minsken te harassearjen.
De duvel ferrifelet ús folslein.
Duvels ferrifelje goede minsken, stelle eigendom fan goede minsken, stelle goede minsken ynspannings, ferneatigje goede minsken ynspannings, en deadzje goede minsken.
De duvels laitsje om goede minsken dy't ferrifelje en lije, en laitsje om goede minsken fermoarde troch demoanen.
Wy libje yn in wrâld fan bylden makke mei CG.
De wrâld fan CG is in wrâld fan leagens.
Stjerre minsken echt yn 'e CG-wrâld?
Stjerre minsken echt yn in wrâld fan leagens?
Minsken leauwe dat de dea bestiet.
Yn dizze wrâld sjogge minsken de dea yn in CG-wrâld.
Minsken tinke dat se ienris stjerre sille.
It is ferkeard om te tinken dat minsken ien dei sille stjerre.
Der is net sa'n ding as dea.

California boskbrannen. Ik leau dat net allinich dit fjoer, mar alle brânen "elektromagnetyske wapens" brûke. Ik tink dat it auto-ûngemak ek in terroristyske oanfal is mei elektromagnetyske wapens. D'r binne in protte terroristen yn 'e wrâld. It binne frijmitselderij, se binne spionnen, se binne terroristen, se dogge har foar as aardige minsken en se lizze. se binne oeral om ús hinne. Fertrou asjebleaft gjinien. Leau net alle ynformaasje. De spionnen lizze tûk tsjin ús en laitsje. Se hawwe in sterke moardzjende bedoeling. Wês asjebleaft foarsichtich. It is ek mooglik dat jo man of frou in liger is. Lês de Stasi Wiki. Lês de Spy Wiki, Sleeper Agent Wiki, en Honey Trap Wiki om út te finen wat de spionnen fan doel binne. God bestiet net. Spies ferrifelje jo om te tinken dat d'r in God is. Religy is in bedrog dat jo tinke dat God bestiet. De duvel docht him foar as God. Hawwe jo deselde kapasiteiten as God? Kinne jo it ferskil fertelle tusken goaden en demoanen? Jo binne gjin God, mar kinne jo it ferskil fertelle tusken God en de duvel? It is ferkeard om yn God te leauwen sûnder it ferskil tusken God en de duvel te witten. De god dêr't jo bidde is de duvel. Kinne jo mei 100% wissichheid bewize dat de God wêrmei jo bidde net de duvel is? As d'r in God wie, soe d'r gjin inkele persoan yn dizze wrâld wêze dy't lije soe. Alle minsken moatte gelyk wêze. Wy hawwe gjin statussysteem nedich lykas de keninklike famylje, de keizerlike famylje, de adel, de machtige, of de religieuze arbeiders. It bestean fan keninklike famyljes, keizers, machten, religieuze beoefeners, en it bestean fan hierargyen ûnder minsken is in bewiis dat der gjin God is. De keninklike famylje, keizerlike famylje, aristokraten, minsken fan macht, en religieuze minsken binne spionnen, en de minsken dy't stypje harren binne ek spionnen. Mar ik wit net oft se allegearre spionnen binne. Sa moatte jo altyd ôffreegje oft elkenien goede bedoelingen hat. D'r is oarloch oer de hiele wrâld, om't spionnen fan oarloch hâlde. Spies ferspriede falske ynformaasje oer de wrâld om minsken in hiel lân te haatsje. Haatsje net in hiel lân sûnder wat oer elke persoan te witten. De persoan dy't wy moatte deadzje is de duvel dy't tichtby is. Tink yn jo geast: "As jo de duvel binne, sil ik dy deadzje." De duvel oan jo kant sil ferdwine. De duvel hâldt fan jo te kontrolearjen. Stel jo foar dat jo dy demon yn jo geast fermoardzje. De duvel kin dy neat dwaan. It fermoeden dat dizze persoan in "duvel" kin wêze, hinderet de oanfallen fan demoanen. God bestiet net. As jo tinke dat God bestiet, is it itselde as it meitsjen fan in demon dy't noait bestien hat. De god dy't winsken jout is de duvel. Jo moatte jo eigen manier betinke en libje sûnder op God te fertrouwen.
Another mistake. East Frisian is not Frisian anymore. Tjiis is West Frysk. Not East Frisian. There are too many mistakes in this video.
The most well-known Frisians in the U.S. are horses!
Ja, well, umm, kinda .....
That's HOPE for ya-- Lutheran's are nice folks in the G.R.and scheme of things; he's a nice Pfella and a Calvinist so I won't go full Frisi on him.
Oofda, dem east coasters though .......
Are Heifers and Herefords the same thing; what about a Holstein?
Frisii, Frysk, Frisia, Frisian, Friesland, so many terms across so many times frames; they DO matter.
Language matters, ja know. Languages too, no?
All in good fun but seriously, this isn't even YouTubiversity level info. Thankfully it is not YouTubadversity!!
My bias be base, yo!
Busker is not a frisian name. It is a saksian name 😂😂
There are only Two tribes in the Netherlands in the North of the Netherlands like North Holland and Friesland and other part of the North are all Frisians people,
And every thing else that is not Noth in the Netherlands are the Batavii people.
And i live in North Holland and that is west Friesland from Friesland so that makes me a west fries but in west Friesland we do not speak Frisian anymore we speak now only Dutch here in west Friesland.
His Frisian ancestors are probably rolling in their graves, knowing the Roman's converted their line into Christians and that one now propagates the destruction of their culture by becoming a priest.
The Frisian bin earlier in America then the Vikings
I think you may be right, but I’m curious as to what makes you say this?
anyone related to LUITJE DERKS, born Bet. 1725 - 1730 in coming from Garsthuizen, Groningen, Netherlands ?....he was my great grandfather 6 times removed..or something like that
