This genealogy section
In the Pedigrees section of this website, every page is about all the ancestors of one particular person. Different page, different person.
In this section, "Genealogies", it's the other way around: every page is about the descendants of one person, or rather one (married) couple.
If you belong to a Waaeijyenberg family, you can find a lot of your relatives in one of the extensive family trees. But only from one site of the family, father or mother, whichever one of them was 'a Waaeijyenberg'.
The other site of your family doesn't belong to the Waaeijyenbergs (barring some exceptions).
Overview of all genealogies
This is the English-language part of the website. Therefor the pedigrees will mainly be concerning the Waaeijyenberg branches in North America and Australia.
So the descendants of Marinus Anthonie Waayenberg in Michigan will find genealogies from the ancestors of spouces, mothers, in-laws, etc etc.
Refer to the list on this page, to the pages with extended families (see menu) or to the Sitemap.

Help from these websites
For obvious reasons I have been researching mostly Dutch families.
But with the help of some specialized genealogical websites, I have been able to construct some family tree branches with non-Dutch ancestors.
The most notable of these sites are:
• Ancestry.com
• Find-a-grave.com
• Geni.com
• Wikitree.com
