Resident of Holland


The parents of Pieterje Michiels are not known, but by customary Dutch naming practice we expect her father's given name to be Michiels, surname unknown. Pieterje Michiels and husband Govert Jans and lived in Amsterdam at the height of the era of Dutch shipping, trading and exploration; also the height of the Northern Renaissance. We don't know details of the family life or occupation of Pieterje's parents or of Govert Jans; he may have been a farmer or he may have practiced one of the emerging trades. Among their descendants are found shoemakers, printers and bookbinders. Pieterje outlived her husband by 17 years. She appears to have lived her entire live ifn Amsterdam, and to have had at least two children, two daughters.

16th Century History of the Netherlands

In 1500 the Seventeen Provinces of the Low Countries belonged politically to Burgundian Dukes who formed personal alliances. The Flemish cities were the important centers, culturally and economically. The Netherlands in this era were one of the richest parts of Europe, their wealth based largely on the shipping industry. From their mastery of the seas came the Dutch colonial empire, the rise of the wealthy middle classes, and the diversity of tradesmen. During the course of the 16th century the region also experienced significant political changes. The union of the lowlands with Spain under Charles V,combined with the Renaissance's renewed awareness of Humanism and the religious Reformation led to a rebellion against the Spanish rule and to the start of the religious war. By 1600, the northern and southern Netherlands were effectively split. In Northern Renaissance art, the Dutch Golden Age blossomed in the north while the Flemish Baroque, reflecting the Catholic Counter-Reformation, developed in the south. Gradually, as the Southern Netherlands remained under Spanish rule, the balance of power shifted to the north and the emerging Dutch Republic. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_in_the_Netherlands

There are obvious errors in the dates for Maria Goverts which put her entire line of ancestry in question; see her page.

UNDOCUMENTED ANCESTRY

We find numerous sources with tantalizing data, but hesitate to adopt their findings when:

  • the lines of descent conflict from one web source to another.
  • documentation & sources are absent or insufficient
  • the sources listed are unavailable to us, so that scope or ambiguity can't be assessed

We offer this page as an ancestral possibility, with the caveat that it is unconfirmed by us.
