Dear people
Finally it is so far that we can offer you the provisional FAMILY TREE of the "van Rij" family including the following Spellings. "van Rie" "van Riede" "van Rije" "van Ry" "van Rye" "Verrij" "Vrij". The information we have gathered from over 2000 Family members from 1105 till 1999 is recorded on a cd in pdf-format. In spite of this the cd is a simple publication (edition) with only a few illustrations, In this publication we give you also related Family information about the following Subjects, all written in Dutch.
