On this homepage you can find genealogical information of several Dutch families. Most of them come from the Veluwe, a central part of the Netherlands.
I am Paul Bouw, 44 years old. I'm married to Tinie van Wijngaarden and we have two children, the twins Menno and Lennart, 15 years old now.
There are many Dutch families wearing the name of BOUW. Most of the time they are NOT related!
My family belongs to the Bouw-family from the village of Otterlo.
The Bouw-families from the villages Putten and Nijkerk are not related to the Otterlo-clan.
I’m writing a family-history book of the Otterlo-clan. I’m collecting stories, photo’s and other interesting material to complete that book. I hope the book will be finished in one or two years! When you are interested in my family-investigation or when you have questions, please send me an e-mail!
