Dear Dominique,
About the Dutch Jewish familygroup Groen
I known just a little.
The Christian name's I know were most of Jewish tradition such as Simon and Isaak.
Also a Albert is known
About this group I do little know, because
they are n't related to my fam.group Groen.
What I know of the Jewish famgrp Groen is
that they came from Den Helder to IJmuiden
around 1880's due to the growth of the
fishtrade and -industry in IJmuiden in those
years. The Dutch bought in that time many
old trawlers in the UK. Many small companies
arouse in those years and the Jewish fmgrp
Groen started also a few (5)copmanies.
Some companies concisted of only two ships and others of more.
In my search of my fmgrp Groen (religion
Old Catholic, you can compare it best with
the Anglian Church) in the Civil Registers
of Den Helder I found a lot of Groen's
with Jewish Christian name's like Eshter,
Simon and so on. I didn't investigate these
people because they don't fit in my
research, but I suspect they are all
of the mentioned fmgrp.
I'm not sure if Den Helder is the original habitat of this grp, I think not.
I supose there is a serious chance they
came from Germany.
However they settled in IJmuiden but due
to WW. II they lost everything and after
the war they ended their shipping trade.
Nowadays there are still several Groen's in
IJmuiden (also from my fmgrp) which could
be part of the Jewish fmgrp Groen.
There are still Groen's active in the
fishtrade.
If you want to communicate more directly
with me my E-mail: chris.d.rijk@amsterdamports.nl (work)
Regards,
Chris
