Jan or Johannes Singer from Waldeck Germany, ca 1795 Netherlands
I am looking for information about my ancestor Jan or Johannes Singer who came from Waldeck, Germany around 1790-1795 to Middelharnis, Netherlands. During his stationing at this military harbour, his girlfriend Margrita Slegt from Brielle gave birth to their son Fredrik, who was baptised (1796) as Jans natural son out of wedlock and was therefore given the name Fredrik Singer (as opposed to Fredrik Slegt).
Margrita married someone else in 1801; Jan had sailed by then but I don't know where to.
Fredrik changed his birth name to his step fathers last name in 1823.
(I recently requested the Justice dept to change my last name back into Singer.)
Hoping for anything to help me on the basis of this scanty information - I really don't have anything more...
