Paper roll
The first edition of our family tree is a paper roll that dates from the
60’s. It belonged to August Herlof Westra and was kept for many years
in the wooden travel box on the attic of his house in Bathmen. Lots of
work on the puzzle already had been done by distant family members from
The Haque. This is also where our family coat of arms comes from. One of
August Herlofs’ sons Herlof Otto updated the tree in the late 20th
century and framed the paper family tree. It still hangs in his
apartment today in Vancouver, Canada.
Digital tree
This digital version is again an updated version of the framed paper
family tree from Canada. Cornelis Hendrik (Kees) digitized and updated
the tree with help from other family members. You can open our family
tree as a interactive pdf file by clicking the image on the right. Most
of the names can be clicked to visit their individual pages on this
website.
