Summary:

"Genealogie der familie Franssen te Tegelen, van 1651 tot heden" by M. Hub. H. Michels is a genealogical account written likely in the late 19th century. This work delves into the history and lineage of the Franssen family in Tegelen, tracking their ancestry from 1651 to the present day. The focus is on documenting family connections, notable ancestors, and the family's significance within the local historical context. The opening of the text provides a detailed preface about the importance of family genealogies, referencing Jewish traditions of maintaining lineage records. It outlines the challenges in compiling this family's history, particularly due to the loss of records over time and the costly process of maintaining accurate ancestry records. Notably, the text introduces the family's earliest known ancestor, Willem Franssen, and lays the groundwork for the subsequent enumeration of descendants, emphasizing their contributions to the community, their interconnections through marriage, and their adherence to faith across generations. This genealogical account sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the family's heritage in Tegelen. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
