Today's Challenge
Yesterday we explored the Ohio Memory Project. Today we will go international and explore Wie Was Wie (https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en), the Netherlands’ archives website. Many countries have their archives online with a variety of great resources that you won’t find anywhere else.
Hints
The first record may be easy to find. You will have to figure out how to find additional records to answer the bonus question.
Question #1. Search for Justus Weise. What is the date of the document for Justus Weise?
Question #2. What type of record is this?
Question #3. What was Justus’ wife’s name?
Question #4. What was Justus’ occupation?
Question #5. Where was his wife born?
Bonus Question (optional). Now for something more challenging. You will have to find additional documents to answer this question. Christian Wilken and Louisa Homan were the parents of the bride. What was the name of their son who was married in 1845 and what was his occupation?
Comments. What did you think of this task? Was it too easy? Too difficult? Just right? Did you have fun exploring the Wie Was Wie website?
