Stamlijn Klerks

Still under research: the generations before Goossen Clerkx under research

These ancestors are not yet proven. They rest on primary deeds from Heusden (1586 to 1591) plus a working hypothesis about how they link to the forefather Goossen Clerkx. That is why they are shown separately, with dashed lines.

  1. A

    Adriaen Clercx first half of the 16th c.

    Presumed father of Goossen; the patronymic “Adriaenss” points to a father named Adriaen. Not yet found in the records.
