is simply a link that should pop up your email client to email me. Message Board/Guestbook is a great new feature where you can post messages, pictures and respond to posts to create dynamic content on the Teune.com site yourself.  History of Teune.com website. The history of the origins of the Teune family is actually quite a bit more interesting and also longer than I had ever imagined when I began to look into it several years ago. I had heard some rumors about where our family came from and some relatives had done some initial legwork to at least get the family tree as far back as my greatgrandfather, but then no one was certain and no one had any documentation, etc. Then came my son James in 2002. I began to have a sense that I was part of a line of people that was continuing with James. I was no longer just a descendent but was now passing something on to my child, and would one day become an ancestor as well. His birth made me more interested in knowing where I came from. Being a web developer and general internet information junkie from the mid 90's when the WWW began, I of course began to search on the Internet. When I found Herma Teune's site, I was amazed at the information she had, but was not ready to beleive that someone actually knew where my family came from as far back as the 1700s. I was excited but also sceptical since I had been told that my greatgrandfather was an orphan. But after corresponding with Herma and going into microfilm copies of the actual birth and death records from the Netherlands I was able to find documentation to confirm what Herma has on her web site. Some of this documentation can be found in the message board on this site. Herma, of course has already researched the actual documents in the Netherlands, but I had to see the records for myself to believe. Of course, I just enjoy making web pages anyway and also have fun sharing pictures with friends and family of all the interesting places my wife and I have been. So in early April, 2002 I was able to finally purchase the Teune.com domain name. I tried to earlier but a now-defunct hispanic portal Te-Une.com had bought it and was just sitting on it as they had run out of money during the tech bust. So as soon as their subscription ran out I snatched it up. |
