The genealogical publication "Geschiedenis en Genealogie van de Familie Boekelo" (only available in Dutch) deals in more than 400 pages with the history of the Boekelo, Boekeloo, Bukelo and Buckelo families in The Netherlands, Germany and the USA from the 1704-1995.
More than 600 relatives pass in review. As far as information was available from direct and indirect sources, the book pays attention to every separate relative. A selection of rare, old familyphotos has been included in the book, just as an extensive register from about 2000 names. Pedigrees and extensive footnotes make the book accessible to everyone.
Also attention has been paid to the meaning and origin of the family-name, as well as to facts about 18th and 19th century countrylife in North-Groningen. An english summary of this book is available when you click here.
