Remember Me
The Poel [pronunciation = pool] Family originated in Holland. The earliest known ancestor lived in Alphen aan den Rijin in the province of Zuid-Holland, east of Leiden . The following 3 generations the Poels were citizens of Amsterdam . At that time the family name was spelled Pool, without exception. The spelling of the first names varies in the various documents and certificates. Initially all individuals carried the father’s name along with their baptised name.
The most relevant sources for the history of the first four generations are: 1) the documents on records at the archives of “Gemeetelijke Archiefdienst van Amsterdam”pertaining to baptisms, public notices, funerals and citizen’s oaths., 2) the archives kept in the “Algemeen Rijksarchief“ in ’s-Gravenhage of the East India Company (Koloniaal Archief Nr. 4386 Resolutieboek van de Equipagie 1665-1778
