• The record lists a man named Johan Leenge, a European settler, who arrived in the Dutch colonies on August 1, 1610.
• He was registered as a farmer ("Landouw") from Spocdonis (likely a village or region in the Netherlands).
• His status was noted again in 1623, confirming he was still present in the colony.
• He was married and had at least one daughter, mentioned as a "wexschutvravea laugDochner" (likely a stepdaughter or foster daughter).
• The record includes his age (over 6 years, as only adults were listed) and his occupation as a farmer.
• No further changes to his status or additional notes were provided beyond his arrival and presence in 1623.

• On 29 February 1648, a legal notice (a summons) was delivered by the bailiff S. D. Beets to a company (likely a shipping or trade company) in Amsterdam. The notice demanded that the company stop paying the pension of a widow named Weduwe Effering (Widow Effering).
• The company was instructed to appear before the Arrondissement Court of Amsterdam on 14 March 1648 to address the matter. Until then, they were told to halt further pension payments to Weduwe Effering.
• On 16 February 1648, a bailiff named J. N. Normser delivered a document showing that Weduwe Effering had given power of attorney (legal representation) to a man named J. Onnes.
• Because of this, the company paid Weduwe Effering her pension for the third quarter on 17 February 1648.
• Later, another bailiff, B. D. Vreet, served a new summons on 14 March 1648, ordering the company to appear in court to settle the dispute over the pension payments.
• The company planned to inform His Excellency the Minister of Colonies about the situation.

On 7 March 1748, in 's-Gravenhage, officials reviewed a letter from the Nederlandse Handel Maatschappij (Dutch Trading Company) dated 29 February 1748, marked as Pensioenen No. 127.

• The letter included 3 attachments and a copy of an acceptance document.
• It also mentioned 78 old annuities from Rotterdam and Vlaardingen.
• After reviewing a report from 11 February 1748, officials decided to respond to the Nederlandse Handel Maatschappij.
• The response stated that the company did not need to appoint a legal representative in the case involving P. Onnes against Weduwe M. Effering (born G. Degenhardt) and the Nederlandse Handel Maatschappij itself.

• On 7 March 1541, a legal document from Nycavenhage (likely a misspelling of 's-Gravenhage, or The Hague) was written by the Minister of Holonie (possibly Holland).
• The document refers to an earlier letter from L. E. the Minister of State, who also served as the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. This letter was authorized by the King.
• An announcement would soon appear in the Dutch State Gazette about a decision made by His Excellency on 15 September 1147 (likely a typo, possibly meaning 1847).
• The decision involved a request from a retired First Lieutenant of Infantry, Thomas Roeland Landour (who also called himself Thomas Landour).
• Landour, living in Menado (now Manado, Indonesia), asked for a name change to benefit his adopted children.
• The document officially informed His Excellency about this request.

• On 15 January 1646, a request was made in Manado to the Dutch authorities (referred to as Your Excellency).
• The request came from a man who wanted to use the surname Jan Roeland, a name he adopted from his oldest known ancestor.
• Due to incomplete records in the baptismal register of 1822, his father’s name was not listed, leaving uncertainty about his right to use the surname Jan Roeland.
• He also wished to allow his relatives—Daniel Roeland and Philippus Gerrit—to use the surname Landoeu (or Landouw), creating names like Jan Roeland Landoeu or Jan Roeland Winter Landoeu.
• The request included two others:
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassens Pamoonus
  • Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Pardoen
• The man asked for official permission (an "act of authorization") to confirm these surname changes legally.

• On 10 December 1845, before the acting notary Hoendrck Daniel Adriaan Vaanden Goes and witnesses, a man formally declared the following:
• He confirmed he was still the guardian of his late wife, Gecitida Telligt, and had officially adopted their three children.
• He promised never to abandon or reject these children.
• In his earlier will, he had named these three children as his only heirs if no other direct heirs existed.
• He believed he had done everything possible for these children as their father.
• Being advanced in age and having no intention to remarry, he wanted to ensure his family name would continue through these children.
• He wished to prove his love for them and ensure they would never be ashamed of their father’s name.
• He hoped they would always remember their parents with gratitude and pride.

• On 5 April 1822, a child was born in Abanado to a free woman named Petronella Winter.
• On 10 November 1822, this child was officially named Jan Roeland by a man and his wife (their names are not fully provided) in Manado, as shown in a baptism record.
• Later, two more children were born to another free woman, Abanina Catharina Thomas, on:
  • 5 March 1833 (named Daniel Roeland)
  • 10 July 1835 (named Philippus Gerrit)
• Official documents confirm that the mothers of these three children died in Manado in 1822 and 1844, leaving the children without parents.
• The man (likely the same one who named Jan Roeland) and his wife, Geertruida Gechtig, raised all three children (Jan Roeland, Daniel Roeland, and Philippus Gerrit) from birth.
• After his wife’s death, the man continued to care for and raise the children.
• Legal statements were made before notary Hendrik Daniel Hollaan Van den Goes and witnesses on:
  • 6 and 9 [month unclear]
  • 9 and 12 January (following year)
• An additional document dated 16th [month unclear] supports these claims.

• Three men from the Landouw family officially changed their last names to Handouw:
  • Jan Roeland Landouw became Jan Roeland Handouw.
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landouw became Daniel Roeland Thomassen Handouw.
  • Philippus Gerrit Shomaosenk Landouw became Philippus Gerrit Shomaosenk Handouw.
• The name changes followed the rules set by:
  • Article 20 of the Civil Registry Regulations (1528, Number 50).
  • A government decision from November 2, 1831 (Numbers 125, 33).
  • Official announcements from April 13, 1845 (Number 8, Announcement 125.111) and May 16, 1846 (Number 31, Announcement 127.15).
• A letter was sent to the Minister of Colonies (reference: 21 506 13 Keng) including:
  • A copy of a civil record.
  • A statement from Thomas Moeland Pundouw, also known as Dhomas Landouw, a retired lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies Infantry, aged 80, living in Manado.
• Thomas Moeland Pundouw reported:
  • His wife, Geertruida Getligt, had died in Manado on December 12, 1840.
  • They had no children, leaving him as the sole survivor of their marriage.

• On 15 September 1647, H. P. Balavia wrote a letter to inform Uwe Excellentie (His Excellency, likely a high-ranking official) about a decision made by the government (N. 3).
• A man named Thomas Roeland (also called Thomas Landouw) had requested that his three adopted children—Jan Roeland, Daniel Roeland Thomassen, and Philippus Gerrit Thomassen—be allowed to use the last name Landouw instead of Roeland.
• The request was approved, so the children could now legally change their names to:
  • Jan Roeland Landouw
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landouw
  • Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Landouw
• The letter mentions that this change follows the rules set in:
  • The Civil Registry Law (1828, no. 30).
  • A decision from 2 November 1831 (no. 33, State Gazette no. 61).
  • Later decisions from 13 May 1843 (no. 14) and 16 May 1846 (no. 37).
• The letter was sent to Sijne Excellentie den Minister van Koloniën (His Excellency the Minister of Colonies) on 2 February 1848.

On 26 February 1848, a request was approved for a retired first lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies army, Thomas Landour (also known as Tho. Mas Roeland Landour), living in Menado (now Manado, Indonesia). He asked for his three adopted children to legally change their last names to include Landour:

• Jan Roeland, born in Menado on 5 April 1522 → renamed Jan Roeland Landour.
• Daniel Roeland Thomassen, born in Menado on 5 March 1633 → renamed Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landour.
• Philippus Gerrit Thomassen, born in Menado on 10 July 1635 → renamed Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Landour.

The change followed the rules for name changes in the Dutch Civil Code. The approval was recorded in a report by the Minister of Justice of Hoboken on 22 December (year not specified) and confirmed by the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. The King of the Netherlands authorized the decision on 6 February 1848, with the State Council Director finalizing the process.

• The government (Ministerie van Koloniën) announced an official notice on 7 March 1345 (likely a typo, intended as 1845), referencing earlier documents from 26 February and 22 February of the same year.
• The notice concerned a decision about Mr. Timmermeens, who was temporarily appointed as a civil registry officer in Cope (likely Copey or another location in the Dutch East Indies).
• The Minister van Koloniën instructed that this announcement should be published three times in the Nederlandsche Staats-Courant (a Dutch government gazette), with one-week intervals between each publication.
• The decision was based on local regulations in the Dutch East Indies regarding the maintenance of civil registry records.
• The notice was linked to earlier references, including records from 1441 (likely a misprint) and archival notes under Bur. J numbers 1102, 1049, and 1054.

This text discusses a man named Mr. Tummesma, who has had a long-standing opponent (enemy) but is now placed in a role that is completely unfamiliar to his entire career path.

• The writer leaves it to the recipient (addressed as "U. L." or "Your Lordship") to decide whether to keep Mr. Tummesma in this position or relocate him somewhere else where he might be more useful.
• The writer suggests that Mr. Tummesma could potentially be placed in the General Chamber of Accounts (Algemeene Rekenkamer).
• However, the writer notes that the Guardianship Council (opieckins) should not be overlooked, as it is more loyal to the principles outlined in Article 12 of the Royal Decree dated 6 December 1842, no. 59.
• This article concerns the oversight of military financial obligations, which the Guardianship Council is better suited to handle, especially in relation to military administration.
• The letter also references an attached document (Ced.le) related to a local official (plaatsl doeknegd) dated 17 October, and a church council (kerhoal) document numbered 48.

On 15 September 1847, a request was submitted to the Dutch colonial government in Batavia (now Jakarta) by Thomas Roeland Landouw, a retired First Lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies Army living in Manado.

• Thomas Roeland Landouw asked for permission for his three adopted children to legally change their last names to Landouw and use a combined version of their original and new names.
• The children were:
  • Jan Roeland, born in Manado on 5 April 1822, originally the son of a free woman named Petronella Winten. He would become Jan Roeland Winten Landouw.
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen, born in Manado on 5 March 1833, originally the son of a free woman named Marina Catharina Thomassen. He would become Daniel Roeland Thomassen Landouw.
  • Philippus Gerrit Thomassen, born in Manado on 10 July 1835, also originally the son of Marina Catharina Thomassen. He would become Philippus Gerrit Thomassen Landouw.
• The request was reviewed by the High Court of the Dutch East Indies on 17 August 1847 and by the Council of the Dutch East Indies on 25 August 1847.
• The government approved the name changes, allowing the children to officially use their new combined surnames.

On 15 September 1617, a request was reviewed from Thomas Hoeland Landouw (also known as Thomas Landouw), a retired First Lieutenant of the Dutch East Indies army, living in Manado. He asked for permission for his three adopted children to use the surname Landouw and adjust their names accordingly.

• The children were:
  • Jan Roeland, son of the late free woman Velronella Winter, born in Manado on 5 April 1622.
  • Daniel Roeland Thomassen, son of the late free woman Manina Calharina Thomassen, born in Manado on 5 March 1533.

• Jan Roeland Landouw.
• Daniel Hoeland Thomassen Landouw.

• The Dutch East India Company (VOC) made an agreement with Anthon da Costa about the mutual release of prisoners in Macassar (now Makassar, Indonesia). The goal was to secure the release of VOC prisoners held there, regardless of any prior prisoner exchanges.
• A journal was kept by Jochum Jochumz, a lower merchant, detailing events from the years 1629, 1630, and 1631 during his imprisonment in Macassar.
• Notes were made on:
  • The city layout and strategic position of Macassar.
  • An agreement about prisoner exchanges.
  • A contract with Anthonij Paulo, another lower merchant, outlining guidelines for purchasing wood in Boutton (now Buton, Indonesia).

  • A record of prisoners being transported, how their release would happen, and the rations each would receive.
• A letter was sent from Evert van Raemburch to Evert van Hoorn in Banda (now part of the Moluccas, Indonesia) on December 22 regarding:
  • The departure of the ships Gouden Leeuw, Edam, and the sloop Poulo Atn to Cochin (now Kochi, India) with goods and instructions.
  • The good supplies received in Battavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) from various places and those still expected.
  • The need to send more supplies to Banda, including 243 loads of good rice.
  • A total financial claim of ƒ 38,192 and 9 stuivers (Dutch currency) for Banda, which was deemed justified and ordered to be paid, except for 5,000 karolusguilders (a type of coin) that were lacking in Dutch currency in Battavia.
• Instructions were given to Evert van Hoorn to:
  • Find out if the citizens of Banda could help with the missing funds, either through loans or by drawing bills of exchange on Battavia, without burdening the VOC.
  • Ensure that no VOC employees accepted money through bills of exchange or other means without permission, as this was considered abuse.
• Criticism was expressed about past actions where Evert van Hoorn allowed church and government employees of the VOC in Banda to:
  • Use bills of exchange to transfer funds at the VOC's expense.
  • Procure goods from the Coromandel Coast (India) and Curat (possibly Kuratti, India) for personal profit.
  • Issue bills of exchange without ensuring the VOC received payment first.
  • Take over profitable nutmeg and fruit tree plantations for personal gain, depriving the local citizens.
• These actions were seen as improper and against the VOC's rules, harming the company's interests.

• On 14 November 17, a public auction took place in Ommen, led by Petrus Iohannes de Quaij (justice of the peace) and Alexander de Vries (court clerk), at the home of Ederhardus Plim.

• The guardians acted under legal authority granted by a court ruling from the District Court of First Instance in Deventer on 31 December 1823, properly registered in Deventer.
• The meeting took place in the presence of Josephus Petrus (likely a witness or additional official).

• On Friday, a church seat auction took place in Den Ham, where several items were sold:
• A church seat near the preacher's pulpit was offered for 40 guldens (Dutch currency). The highest bidder was Everhardus Flim, but the bid was not accepted.
• A standing seat in the Den Ham church, requiring an annual payment of 25 guldens on May 1, was also bid on by Hendrik Jan Gierveld, but the bid was not raised or accepted.
• After discussion, the following sales were confirmed:
• The first item (church seat) was sold to Everhardus Flim, Jan Kuiper, and Hendrik Flim, who agreed on behalf of the absent owner, Antoni Dorgelo.
• The second item was sold to Evert Hofman, a shopkeeper from Den Ham, for 280 guldens. Albert Middendorp (shopkeeper) and Aendrikus Kaptein (merchant) acted as guarantors. The final costs were to be confirmed later by the court president in Deventer.
• The third item was sold to Hendrik Jan Schuurman, a merchant from Den Ham, for 406 guldens. Due to his financial reliability, no guarantor was required. Final costs were also to be confirmed later by the court president in Deventer.
• The fourth item was withdrawn from sale because the highest bid was deemed too low by the sellers.

He acted both for himself and as the legal guardian of his two underage children, Aaltjen Vrielink and Gerrit Vrielink, from his marriage to his late wife, Hendrika Gierveld.
• Hendrik Vrielink had been authorized to act on behalf of his children by a decision from the Family and Mortgage Council of the Almelo canton, made on October 19, 1821, and registered in Almelo on the same day.
