| Family tree of the Brussels-Dworp Meerte-Meerts Branch |
The Meerte familie is widely spread in Belgium mainly around Brussels and Antwerp. It is a familie of nobities and the name is found even in very old archives. The direct branch goes back to Hendric Meerte born around 1215. The oldest found reference dates from 1100 "Heer Reynier Clutinc, geheeten Zegeler".
The Brussels' families Clutinc, Eggloy, Pipenpoy, Meerte and others are all related through the lineage Serhuyghs and they directly decent from Charlemagne and the french royal house Capetiens via
Sir Hughes. More background information on Charlemagne is found on Wikipedia page. A number of historical quotes is discussed here.
It is certain that the Belgium-Netherlands
branch is related to the Meerte
family. Furthermore there exist serious indications that
the Limburg branch is also related
to the Meerte family.
The basic information of the early Meerte family has been obtained a series of papers by Dr. Jan Lindemans
published in "Eigen Schoon en De Brabander" in 1935-36. Corrections, additional information as well as the connection to Charlemagne (Karel de Grote) was collected from the Geneanet and Wikipedia websites.
