About this website




This website has been produced by Fiona and John Jaap, of Kirkintilloch in Scotland.

John began researching the family tree in the early 1980s, using handwritten pieces of paper sellotaped together, which stretched all the way from the front door down to the end of the hall.

In 1999, his daughter Fiona arrived at the house one day with a computer, and before long he was immersed in the world of email and the internet.

Publishing the tree online using the WorldConnect genealogy pages at www.rootsweb.ancestry.com opened up a new world of Jaaps for us.

We are indebted to a number of people for sharing their research with us:
John Biggar, Norman Carnegy, Andrew Cowie, Dorothy Coppendale, Marna Fielding, Lane Galey, David Graham, Toni Hardie, Tom Hipp, Hardy Jaap, Ian Jaap, Walter Jaap, Paul Kindt, Doris Lewis, Jim Lovera, Janette Moore, Skip Murphy, Mae Pitcairn, Bill Ramsay, Caryl Simpson, Liz Smith, Ian Sommerville, Richard Stevenson, Sandra Stevenson, David Stretton, Donna Train, Bill Wallace, Donna Weston, Janet Yother.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our webpages
