The ancestors of my father came from the Gouda area (up to 1800) and Leiden (after 1800) in the province South Holland
The ancestors of my mother came from 'West Zeelandic Flanders', in the south-west of Holland
This map is a current map with highways, the next cards are from about 1868.
Because many names of places in the genealogy are not used anymore, I show a map of a part of South Holland from 1868.
Up to 1800 my ancestors lived in Moordrecht, Waarder and in Langeweide or Langeruigeweide, in the Gouda area.
After 1800 they moved to Leiderdorp and Leiden.
