- We have always assumed that our earliest forefather Jan van der Meye came from Holland and came to de Bildt to explore the riches of the new reclaimed land in 1505. We have been searching for a Jan van der Meye who left for de Bildt in Friesland but to no avail.
- In the Middle Ages the van der Mye family was very distinguished in Holland (and Zeeland). In 1156 the name Albartus Mi was already mentioned in a deed. The family possessed besides Homestead Meije and the Honderdmorgen Polder also the estate De Haack further ahead (from 1332) and the (former) van der Mye castle in Harmelen.
The river Meye can be found in Holland near Nieuwkoop with a Meye farmstead[1] with a long history starting between 1000 and 1200 AD.
