G3F - Postma, Gatske Annes (1860 - 1920)


December 21, 1860 - May 26, 1920

Gatske  is born in Bolsward, on December 21, 1860. Her parents, Anne Sjoerds Postma and  Baukje Jans Mulder, are farmers at Ruurda State in Burgwerd. 
From what I can find out, they had two daughters: Tjitsje (1849-1933) en Gatske (1860-1933).
We do not know much about Gatske, but we do have 2 pictures of her when she is young. She is the first one in the family of whom we have pictures of at such a young age, 9 (left) and 15 (right). 



The family album, that was probably started with her parents in-law, is most likely continued by her (which is why we have those two pictures). 

When she is 19, she marries Haye Michiel Galama. 

 Her story continues at the Galama-Postma family page.

The Galama Family

   The Galama Family The story of our Galama ancestors starts in the east of Friesland, a province in the north of the Netherlands. The last name may vary, both Galema and Galama are related to one another, as mistakes were made when registering births and marriages.  The suffix -ma of their surname indicates it is typically Frisian . The Frisians are a group of people  coming out of southern Scandinavia, Denmark and north eastern Germany, who around 400 nC,  (re)colonized the region that is now known as Friesland . The Galama/Galema family seems to be connected to the south-western part of Friesland, and the name appears as early as 876, when a certain  Igo Galama , in 876, fights the Vikings.   The name in stories and documents, and they are in general landowners in Friesland, apparently reasonably affluent, and  frequently in trouble with the authorities . In 1099,  Igo Joukes Galama  dies in Antioch (Turkey, th...

G5F – Galema, Ysbrand Klazes (1789-1873)

(October 1, 1789 Tjerkwerd - April 24, 1873 Bolsward)    Ysbrand is my great great great grandfather. We are now 5 generations back in time.  Ysbrand  is the son of  Klaas Ysbrands Galema  (1741) and  Trijntje Sjoerds Heerkes  (1746). Klaas and Trijntje have 5 children, and Ysbrand is one of them. It is an agricultural family, they all have farms. And although the family can be traced back much farther, this is the first generation where we can actually see what they look like, because we have our first photograph. Portrait photography comes into fashion in the late 1800’s. The first portrait of a Dutch person is taken in 1842 by a French photographer traveling around. Ysbrand Klazes is already 52 by that date, and we assume these photographers did not quite make it to Friesland right away, so this picture of him seated must be him at an even older age. In 1812, he is 22, he marries Ytje Jans Siemonsma (1791-1873). She is 20. The story con...
