Family name is derived from the name of the village which was Dutch at the time. CENTRAAL BUREAU VOOR GENEALOGIE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS Your letters, directed to the municipal record-offices at Tilburg and Bois-le-Duc have been directed to this office. We had great difficulty in finding information on Arent Issacsz van Hoeck, but we eventually succeeded. It appears he was living for some time in Amsterdam. He married 1st in Amsterdam (banns published 30 March1652) to Sara van de Cliet (or van de Clid) baptized in Amsterdam 1 May 1629 a daughter of Pieter van de Cliet and Maritje Matthijsdr and married 2nd time in Amsterdam (banns published 29 Jan. 1655 to Geertje Everts, the wife you were referring to in your letters. Geertje (or officially : Geertruyt) Everts (a patronymical name) was baptized in Amsterdam 19 Jan.1631. She was a daughter of Evert Claesz and Ariaantje Reyners. It turned out Arent, a shoemaker's helper, didn't come from Hoeck in the province of Zeeland as was supposed up till now but hailed from Hooksiel in the former county of Oldenburg, Germany. According to the banns publication in 1652, Arent was born there approx. 1623 and on Jan. 19th 1652 Arent (from "Hookseil") was admitted as a citizen of Amsterdam. Signed N. Plomp, Deputy Director.
