THE GEELMUYDEN FAMILY
The purpose of these webpages is to give information about the history of the Geelmuyden family. We try to include all of the family, including descendents who do not use the family name. But the site will also include information about other families and ancestors of persons who in some way, directly or indirectly, are connected to the Geelmuyden family. By the start of 2022 you will find information about nearly 37 000 persons on this site. We regret that most of this site is found only in norwegian.
Here you will find information about the family history. We will gather new knowledge about all descendants of the family, including those who do not use the Geelmuyden name. We aim in the future to make the family history available in a book.
Slektsoversikt («Survey of the Family») give access to the family tree. This include only short information, notes and the relations between family members, presented in the genealogical software TNG The Next Generation.
On the page Historier om slekten (stories about the family») you will find long stories about the family.
Hans Geelmuyden 1780-1850
Gerrit Adriaensz van Geelmuyden came to Bergen from the netherlands in July 1660. He is the common ancestor for the present Geelmuyden or Geelmuijden family in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, USA og the Netherlands.

Much work is done in connection with this website and the research and writing of the family history. It is timeconsuming to provide english translations at the same time. Therefore any english translations depend on voluntary partisipants who will translate and send in the stories appearing on this site. Such translated stories are published under «HISTORIER» on the site, next to the norwegian version of the same text. Relations who want to contribute with translations are welcome.
The links on this page will lead you to the norwegian pages. I am sorry for the inconvenience for foreign readers. For those who want to read the family tree (behind the link Slekt) the «dictionary» found low on the page Historier, under «Veiledning» (=guidance) may provide some help.

Most of the text on this website is in norwegian, as priority is given to research and making information avaiable.
