As you remarked the names are Beitske Jippes. These are old Jiddish (Jewish) names. van Meekeren is laso a very old Jewish dutch family.
As far as I can trace back the Meijer family came from Groningen (north-East part )of the Netherlands . all around the cities of Groningen and oude Pekela. These are all Jewish families. The pace you mentioned is
AKKERSWOUDE
This little town still exist.
I can not find these names back in my family tree. I am born and raised in Holland but live since 18 years in Toronto Canada,
The best info re Jewish families is the web side below

Hope this will help you
