Notizen zu dieser Person
It seems that the name "SIJBE" is derived from "SIBOUT". It is possible that SIBOUT was a large land owner, or an important person in West Friesland. In 1811, Napoleon insisted that all of the Netherlands adopt a surname. The Friesans were reluctant to do so and this task was still not complete by 1812. By 1813, a few people still needed to adopt a surname. Not all family members adopted the same surname. SIJBESMA means "son of SIJBE". (From letter of Grace Anne Sybesma March 9, 1984--Arshwe Farm, Kalamazoo, Michigan.) It seems that the name "SIJBE" is derived from "SIBOUT".
