Hans Hansen Bergen
Sarah Rapalje, 10th G.G.P.
Breckje Hansen Bergen
Aert Anthonize Middagh, 9th G.G.P.
Jan Aertsen Middagh
Geertije Teunisen Claerwater, 8th G.G.P. (parents of Breckje Middagh)
Breckje Middagh
Nicholas Westfall, 7th G.G.P.
Johannes Juriaen Westfall
Marretje Kool, 8th G.G.P. (parents of Nichols Westfall)
Marretje’s father was Jacob Barentsen Kool
Her grandfather was Barent Jacobsen Kool
Johannes Cool (Kool) father was Leendert Barent Kool
Johannes grandfather was Barent Jacobsen Kool
Marritje Kool and Johannes Kool were cousins.
Johannes Kool married Neeltje Roosa.
Neeltje’s parents were Anna Margariet Roosevelt
Heyman Alderson Roosa
Anna Margariet Roosevelt’s brother was Nicholas Roosevelt. He was a goldsmith by trade. Their father was Claus MartenszenVan Rosenvelt.
Both FDR and his wife Eleanor descend from Nicholas Roosevelt. FDR descends from Nicholas son Jacobus and Eleanor descends from Nicholas son Johannes.
FDR and Eleanor are 5th cousins once removed.
The Roosevelts, Roosa’s and Kortwrights were Spanish Jews. They fled the Spanish Inquisition and their names got changed. Roosa is Dutch for Rosa. There is another Roosevelt family in Holland but they are a different family. The above Roosevelts descend from the Spanish Rossacampos family who settled in North Holland. Their name got changed to Rosenvelt and then to Roosevelt. The Roosa’s were from Rosas, Gerona and Catalonia, Spain. Roosa is Dutch for Rosa. They fled to Flanders, then Gerlderland, Holland. This area and Amsterdam near Haarlem were Sephardic Marrano enclaves. Anna Margariet Roosevelt was born in 1643 Gelderland, Holland. The Kortwrights ( nd other similar name spellings) were from Navarro, Spain. They fled to Flanders, then Gelderland, Holland.
The name Arie is also a common Jewish line (from the Hebrew for "lion", symbolic
of the tribe of Judah) Johannes Kool and Neeltje Roosa’s daughter Elizabeth married Arie Kortwright.
It is also interesting to note that my Kool Ancestors descend from Adriaen Jacobz Kool and Margaretha Van Rosendaal (a Jewish Dutch name)Adriaen’s parents were Jacob Adriansz Kool and Petronella Pietersen De Witt. She was born in 1534. They all lived in Dordrecht, Holland.
Notable De Witt’s from Dordrecht, Holland: Jan De Witt, brother Cornelius De Witt and their father Jacob DeWitt. Jan and his brother Cornelius were killed by a mob of Orangist’s Calvinist’s. Jan was close friends with Baruch de Spinoza, a Spanish Dutch Jew. Spinoza was inspired by Jan De Witt and his friends. I do not know how they are related to my De Witts, but they all lived in Dordrecht, Holland.
