08 november 2009 -   The family event 2009 in the town of Zuidland was attended by over 200 family members.
With visitors literally from across the globe. But as can be expected the majority came from the surrounding areas. A lot of family members took the opportunity to find out more on the family history and in turn contributed to the recording of the family heritage.
All visitors were certain about the fact that this event should be repeated.
