	Former chapter (Norw.)  Next chapter (Eng.)

The information in this chapter is collected from various sources by Annette Sweerts, Amsterdam, and edited by Carsten Berg Høgenhoff, Oslo. It presents some families and people in the circle around the Sweers family. Because of its interest in the Netherlands and other places outside of Scandinavia, this particular chapter is presented in English, but with a few entries not yet translated from its original Dutch.

The Sweers family and its connection with the de Créqui dit la Roche family is presented in Chapter 5.2. Here, we see that Judith Sweers came from a family of some importance in its, among whom her uncle, Vice Admiral Isaac Sweers (1622 to 1673) is best known today.

As in chapter 5.2, the main source has been Ms Annette Sweerts who has performed her investigation on-site in the Netherlands. If you should have any comments or questions, both she and I will be happy to hear from you. Please send an E-mail to Carsten Berg Høgenhoff (address: See eMail in left frame) - and I shall forward it also to Ms Sweerts.
