Hi:
Some time ago, as I was surfing the Internet, I came across names of welgeboren men of Rijnland whom appear in Simon van Leeuwen's Costumen, keuren, ende ordonnantien van het baljuschap ende lande van Rijnland (1667). In some parts of this work, a few of my late father's ancestors appear. Out of curiosity, I am wondering where the author obtained first-hand information? Which registers did my ancestors appear in and are the original records located with the Nationaal archief? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Specifically, I am looking at the following individuals:
page 74: Pieter Keyser, listed in 1500
page 82: Liclaas Foutien, listed in 1532
pages 92, 94, 96: Leenert Gerritz Meurs, listed in 1616, 1626, 1636, respectively.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks.
