My mothers ancestors all lived in Havelte, Nijeveen or Kolderveen (province of Drenthe) in the Netherlands. They settled there since 1740, or probably even sooner about 1600.
The research on the family Tuit was done by Jan Tuit and myself.
Our Tuit-database contains now some 800 persons and about 260 family's.
Of course a lot of the relatives moved out to other places in the Netherlands and even the United States and Australia.

We want to expand our research to all relatives of the Tuits, to complete the family history. You can help us by sharing your family-data with us and supply names, dates, places, of birth and residence, pictures, profession and /or education or anything that you are willing to tell us about you and your family.
