When collecting information on our families we use archive sources but also turn to distant or possible relatives. Here is a sample of a letter and questionnaire to use in such circumstances.
The name Haringman was taken in 1812 in Amsterdam. The original name was Cohen. Emanuel Calme Cohen asked to take the family name Haringman in the city of Amsterdam, Holland. If you wish to see the tree please contact us
Important source material for all Jewish families in Holland is the book "Jewish Marriage in Amsterdam 1598-1811" by Dave Verdooner and Harmen Snel. This database covers the period before most Jews had family names. The second book is "In Memoriam" which lists all the Jews of Holland killed in the Holocaust. A third source is the list of households which indicates who lives with whom and covers the period 1890-1939 for the city of Amsterdam.

The WAAS family has its roots in Amsterdam back in 1750 and most of its members stayed in Holland. In the 19th century some of them migrated to England while others went to America. Terry Cooper and Jack Waas have built sites on the family based on my research. Since the Waas family is big I have made two trees--one for Jacob Mozes Waas born 1758 and the second for his younger brother,Abraham Mozes Waas born 1764.
If you wish to see the trees please contact us * Click to see Terry Cooper's siteThe VERDONER family lived in Amsterdm from at least 1750. Some write the name with one "o" and others with two "00". They are all connected at some point. The tree in my possession is full of holes, like Swiss cheese. This is the way I received it and hope it will be completed in the near future.Dave Verdooner has done most of the research and does not want the information on the web. Please contact him directly. For further details contact me privately.

The HAHN family originates in Neugedein=Kydne in the Chech Republic.The oldest documentation is from 1800. Because of domicile restrictions I only have our direct line from the first born son Rudolph Ruben Hahn 1800-28/01/1862 and married to Esther Zucker. His brothers were Leopold born 1801, Josef born 1805, Michel born 1807 and Isrel born 1811. Jews of this village were buried in Lucim, a nearby village. Our direct line migrated to Germany and France and later the US and Israel. The initial research was carried out by my greataunt Therese Hahn nee Levy.

The WALK family originates in Vilna, Lithuania.The original tree was made by Milton Rapson in the US and I updated it.
