Wols family
I´m looking for general and specific information on the Wols family, as this is the maiden surname of my mother Corrie Rivas-Wols, widow of José Rivas Rivas.
I would like to know:
- The meaning of the name Wols. Is it derived of Wolfs or Wolt(er)s or has it an altogether different origin?
- The region where the name first occurred.
- What is known about the different branches of the family.
- The specific history of the Wols family in Zuid-Holland.
My mother was born as Cornelia Catharina Bernadette Wols, as the elder daughter of her Catholic parents Piet Wols and Johanna van Bemmelen. She was born on December 19th 1933 in Alphen aan den Rijn. Her siblings were: her late elder brother Piet Wols (a Catholic monk known as Brother Bavo), her sister Jopie Wols and her younger brother Gerard Wols.
