ANOTHER FAMILY WHO EMIGRATED THE SAME MONTH THAT YEAR

Family Woestijne who departed only a few days before The Hollebrand family.
Here a picture of the family and maybe ather people on board on the ship.
Thanks to Jacqueline harms van Kerkvoort (living in Holland).

The beginning

Hollebrand was a boysname till at least the 16th and the 17th century. The meaning of the name is "loyal to the sword" (very old dutch).
It all began may 2 1666 in Zeeuws Vlaanderen. (The Netherlands) Elias Oilbrandß, one of the 3 son's of Cornelis Oilbrandß, married with Magdalena Soetaerts. Elias had one son; Jacob Hollebrands, who married in 1693 with Susanne Marijnissen at Breskens. His grandson Abraham Hollebrand who married 9 mei 1773 Suzanna Verduijn can be seen as the father of the HOLLEBRAND(T) family. Elias Hollebrands, the nephew of Abraham Hollebrand is for almost sure the father of the HOLLEBRANDS family.

My grandfather Izaak Hollebrand was born april 5 1884 at st.Kruis (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen).
His brother Abe (Abraham) emigrated with Jacomina du Rie to the USA.

You see also the names Hollebrandse in the Netherlands and the USA and Hollebrandt in de USA. HOLLEBRANDT in the USA comes from Dutch Hollebrand immigrants before 1900. HOLLEBRANDSE is as far we know not related to Hollebrand, Hollebrandt and Hollebrands. Hollebrand was written before 1800 also as Hollebrands, Hollebrant and Oilbrant(s).
The name Hollebrand can be found also in Gapinge, Walcheren, before 1600. On this moment are all the people in Holland with the name Hollebrand put in the familytree. There are just a few with that name; in 1948 there were only 23.

The Hollebrand(t) / Hollebrands Emigrants.

EMIGRATION TO THE USA

A lot of people from Sealand
(the Netherlands) emigrated
to the USA.
It started about 1840.
There was a epidemy (illness)
in the potatoplants at that
time.
The emigration ended in 1920.
32,000 people were emigrated
than from Sealand. Most of
them arrived in Ellis Island
New York.

In almost every town in
Sealand lived somebody who
sooled tickets to America.

The first what the millions emigrants sawed out Europe of America was it freedom picture, but at the same time doomed thus the impressive bldg. of Elllis Island on. There they are subject to a thorough study into their physical and mental health and capacities. The 2e class passengers were already checked on the ship.

Sara Louisia Hollebrands.

By Edwin Hamelink.

Arie Leijnsen and Adriaantje Stouthamer get a letter in february 1863 from Sara Louisa Hollebrands. Sara Louisa Hollebrands was born at february 8, 1848 at Middelburg as a daughter of Mattheus Hollebrands and Neeltje van Dale. Mattheus Hollebrands was born at Terneuzen at november 7, 1817. He was a sun of Jacobus Hollebrands and Sara Leijnsen (a sister of Arie Leijnsen). Arie Leijnsen was an uncle of Mattheus Hollebrands, and an old uncle of Sara Louisa Hollebrands.

On january 1862 the family doctor established that Sara Louisa Hollebrands had tuberculosis. On february 24, 1863 she wrote a letter from Middelburg about her confersion to her old uncle Arie Leijnsen and Adriaantje Stouthamer, at that time she was havendly uder tuberculose. She did seven hours to write this letter. On january 24, 1864 Sara Louisa died at Middelburg (almost 16 years old).

On request of his to America emigrated suns and from Zeeuwse countryman, father Mattheus Hollebrands writed on Sara's last years of life, her confersion and her death. This handwriting (included a copy of the letter) are still in receipt of the in USA living family Kolenbrander (decendents of Sara's relations). This handwriting is again published under the title: "De bekering en het sterven van Sara Louisa Hollebrands, door M. Hollebrands", With introduction and comment by dr. J.H. van de Bank (1997).,

Hello my name is Michael Brian Hollebrands, 
I am trying to find more information about my family name and our crest. 
There is a Janz name in there aswell. I was born to Steve & Marva Hollebrands 2-15-1967 
in the USA. Thank You for all of your help.

Geachte heer , 

 
Op zoek naar meerdere gegevens over de familie Hollebrand kwam ik bij uw gegevens terecht, 
vandaar .....

A few weeks ago I recieved a picture of een grafzerk in Williamson at Sodus in North 
America, waarop de naam prijkte van ene Francis van de Plassche . His date of birth and 
overlijdensdatum stonden er groots op . Toch kon ik hem niet direkt thuis brengen , omdat er 
gesjoemeld was met zijn geboortedatum en naam ( Francois ).
Door dat jaar te veranderen van 1801 naar 1805 kon ik hem wel thuisbrengen . He was married 
with Maria du Mez and emigrated with anumber of children around 1847 to the USA . 
His daughter Katharina van de Plassche , born on March 6 1837 at Cadzand married with 
ABRAHAM HOLLEBRAND and from this mariage a sun James Hollebrand , probably born 
in 1869 and Maria Hollebrand .

Verder weet ik dat haar zuster Maria Johanna , trouwde met Peter Jansen en zij trokken naar 
Sodus .....

Kunt u mij verder helpen met de achtergronden van deze Abraham Hollebrand ?
 

Deze Francois van de Plassche is waarschijnlijk de enige van de Plassche , die zijn naam 
verder op deze manier mocht dragen , want andere geemigreerden heten toen en nu Plassche , 
zonder van en de , of Plassey .
Gaarne hoor ik nader van u .


My name is Julian Walker. I reside in Johannesburg South Africa.
I hope that you may be of assistance. I am trying to trace the whereabouts of
Kamilla Anna Hollebrand born 5 August 1939.
I assume that she did (or even still does) reside in South Africa but I can
find no trace of her whereabouts or of anyone else in this country with that surname.
If you have any information on her whereabouts or can point me in any other
direction I would be extremly gratefull.

Höllebrand in Germany and Austria

In Germany and Austria are families with the name Höllebrand. Also there should be a little place in Germany with the name Höllebrand. There is not find any connection between these families and the Hollebrand families in Holland. Here beneath you see a wine libel from Germany with the name Höllenbrand on it. Hölle means hell and brand means fire. (Fire from Hell?) Go to Höllebrand

Hollebrand in England

In England is also a familie with the name Hollebrand. They come originally from Austria. (Vienna) Just before 1903 CHARLES HÖLLEBRAND and his wife MARIA and two? children went to England. His sun Albert is born in England.
