Revision as of 23:34, 11 December 2016
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 Meije who left for de Bildt in Friesland but to no avail.
Our family name suggest we are from the Meije. The river Meije can be found in Holland near Nieuwkoop with a Meije farmstead[1] with a long history starting between 1000 and 1200 AD.
In the Middle Ages the van der Mije 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 further ahead "De Haack" (from 1332) and the (former) van der Mije castle in Harmelen.
The history of Homestead Meije is mentioned in a serial article in the quarterly magazine "Rondom Niewecoop" published by the Historical Society Nieuwkoop and surroundings since 1991.
