Hollandske kedelforere

[Katherine]

I am looking/search for descendants of the Hollandsk Koberforer and which have interesting information for me about this compagnie. They had in 200 years all the monopoly of the Copper boilers and copperware trading of Denmark.
They lived in all Denmark and some Dutch men stays in Denmark and married with Danish women and had children.
There must be a lot of decendants.
I am working on a resource/study and a book about this Compagnie and the best sources from the decendants themselves, the stories,hearsay.

Some names of the Hollandske Kedelforere:

                                                 -  Van der Sterren/Stern
                                                 -   Melskens
                                                 -  Eijkens.Eickens
                                                 -  Wils
                                                 -  Slaegers
                                                 - van Eyndhoven[/b][/left][/center][/center][/img]

If you write Melskens in the field Last Name on https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/search/ you'll get a lot of hits.

Hard to say if they are all descendants of kedelførere.
