regional history

►farms in "De Breesaap", Velsen (The Breesaap was an agricultural area sandwiched between Velsen and the dunes. It has been a fief from the feudal Middle Ages onwards. The soil was poor in nutrients. The article "The farms in the Breesaap" by Jan Morren describes the ownership and calls the inhabitants of the nine farms. In two of the farms "Duijnen" have lived: in "De Windhond" ("Greyhound") Jan Pieterzn Duijn and in the "De Nieuwe Landbouw" ("New Agriculture") some of the direct ancestors of the couple Duijn-Stam. At the end of the 19th century, most of the Breesaap has fallen victim to the construction of the North Sea Canal that connects Amsterdam with the North Sea.)
