Ik woon daar al 13 jaar nu.
Well last year I was visiting my father in the netherlands and he says to me, "would you like to help me put the family tree back together?" of course i said yes, so we hopped online and with the birth certificates we already had, we managed to trace our lineage all the way back to Willem Gerardus Jacobus Aalbersberg. When we dug further, we found that the Aalbertsberg/Aalbersberg family used to own a quarter of the netherlands from Bloemendaal (which used to be called Aalbertsberg) all the to Lijden. And the Aalbertsberg name appears in the Blauwe Boek (blue book) which lists all the patrician families of the Netherlands. However, rather strangely the name changed suddenly from Aalbertsberg to de Vos, i have theorised, along with my father, that during the amalgamation of the Flemish states, we had to give up or we sold the land, and as you would all know, a name is directly linked to the land, so if the land goes, the name goes. So that is why name is Ezra de Vos die eens Aalbertsberg was. Also, we are buying the name back at some stage, almost undoubtedly there is a title attatched to as well
