Lectures by

Genealogical Bureau van der Hoeven

Genealogical Bureau van der Hoeven regularly presents lectures on genealogy, family history, and historical research. These lectures are intended for associations, historical societies, archives, libraries, and other interested groups.

Topics

In the past, I have given lectures on a variety of topics, such as:

  • Genealogical research on specific families
  • Education (school teachers)
  • Local historical themes
  • Religious history


Each lecture is tailored to the interests of the audience and the context of the organization. In-depth content, clear explanations, and practical examples are key.
