Familynames

Here is genealogical information of Van Santen and Van Zanten families.
Information of some other families can be found. The main familynames, especially before 1811, apart from accents and conjunctions, consist of a 'S' or 'Z', 'ant' and may be followed by 'e' or 'en' ( * (S|Z)ant[e[n]] ).
Met names are Sant, Zant, del Sant, van Sant, van Zant, van de Sant, van der Sant, van der Zant, van 't Sant, van 't Zant', op 't Zant, Sante, Zante, de la Sante, ten Sante, Santen, Zanten, van Santen, van Zanten en von Zanten.

Information concerning the family from Oost-Friesland, described by the author in
Genealogie Van Santen, Von Santen, (Veldhuyzen) van Zanten, 1988 [geOFRI],
is here omitted.

Almost not considered are the families:
de Sain (no French, but from Dessijn, [DeSain]),
van der Sande(n) [br1],
van Zandt ([geZandt] describes a family descending from Van Santen),
Sant on Malta [Malta],
Santé [NA1984],
Santee [Santée],
Van Santen de Hoog started with a male member of De Hoog, married to a Van Santen,
Van Zanten Jut started with a male member of Jut, married to a Van Zanten [NL1950a],
Van Santen Kolff descends from Jacob Kolff, 1738-1768, who inherited the name Van Santen,
Van Zanten Solleveld (a few in The Haque),
van Xanten (a few in the index, but not sought for).

Persons Categories

The described persons in the book can be distinguished in the following categories

  1. Persons who received at their birth one of the mentioned familynames.
  2. Persons married to a person of the (a) category.
  3. Parents and husbands of a person in the (b) category.
  4. Children of a female of the (a) category.

When more than one category fit somebody, the first one applies.
The genealogies of Descendants describes many more people.

Persons Index

The Persons Index (← click here, 4.3 MB) mentions the names of only the (a) and (b) categories.
A (b) person as entry links to the relevant (a) person.
Often it is easiest to start a search with a (b) entry.

The entries are alfabetical sorted successively on the main part of the familyname, the initials (!), given names and prefixes.
Diacritical characters and " 't" are ignored while sorting. 'ij' is ordered as 'y'.

Ages ago an uniform spelling was unimportant; a name with a particular pronounciation was differently spelled in one text.
With several labels for a person, the name may differ from the spellings in the sources.
More than one entry for one person are possible, when it is not evident that the sources concern the same person.
An entry may be an alias; the full information is at the linked entry after '=>'.

Abbreviations:
* born, ~ baptized, † deceased, ‡ buried (cremated or lost), †* stillborn †d* daughter †z* son,
x marriage, xo wedding announcement, xg registrated partnerschip, xp living together, xr religious marriage,
¬ relation ended, ¬u proclaimed, ¬g registrated,
er there (same location as previous one)
« at most, » at least, ± about (often calculated from age, may be one year less).
# birthyear (<100 years ago) suppressed for evt. privacy.

Relationdates in the last 75 years don't show days and months.

Characters in red reference a branch or dynasty, with an affinity between all persons with that character. (The book uses little icons.)
Persons with the same character have a common ancestor in male hierarchy or are married to such a person. Other persons of the branch may lack the character when no relation was found.
*: These hierarchies are described in more detail under Descendants.

B* refers members of the family from the Betuwe (a.o. Buren and Beusichem), Andries van Sancten, * ±1425.
D is fixed to Gerrit van Santen, Delft ±1460, and his dynasty. [NedFam, Rijnsburg]
H* at descendants of Hindrik Lijkels in Hoogezand, who starting in 1772 gave his children the name Van Zanten.
J in the index is fixed to Johan Santen, * «1660, deceased »1686, and to his branch. [geBrual]
L* at descendants of Joost Jansen van Santen, of which many lived in Leerdam or Schoonrewoerd.
M at descendants of Aert van Santen, * Maasbommel (?).
R descendants of Jan Sandtman, * ~1778, from Hopsten. [parenteel.nl]
S* in the index is fixed to Jan van Santen, ±1600, and to his descendants and relations by marriage, of which many lived in Scherpenzeel.
V* refers to a branch originating from Veenendaal, Claas van Santen, * ± 1632.

Z* is used for the Belgian branch from Sainctes, of Johan van Santen, ±1480-1542. [beINT_]

[ ] surround references to sources in the online accessable book. The .numbers can be ignored (are unique for a person, aids the author).

'P:' prefixes the father of the person in the entry;
'M:' prefixes the mother.
'x', 'x1.' prefix spouses.
'1.', '2.', ..., prefix children. Children are mentioned in chronological order of birth, if possible.

Book

The book is in Dutch, of which the last two parts are almost language-independent.
The book, in black & white on 651 pages A4 paper, is split in four pdf-files: The

intro.pdf 10 pages introduction,
sources.pdf 990 kB, 185 pages sourcetexts
persons.pdf 2.8 MB, 451 pages names index and
words.pdf 3 pages with search words (professions).

'persons.pdf' is a print version of the Persons Index, using numbers i.s.o. html-links.
The genealogies mentioned under Descendants are not included.

Descendants

The descendants of a few persons are described in detail.
The namelist after a genealogy lists more names than the Persons Index, as more generations of female descendants are considered. Descendants with other surnames often fails.
Remarks in a genealogy are untranslated in Dutch.

The index of any other branch, a selection from the Persons Index of SANTENkraam, alfabetical and as a tree, is receivable.
