The Over de Linden-Kofman marriage

A closer look.

Continues from earlier posts:
Kofman-Greiner Family
[6] Bartholdus Over de Linden, Jacob Kofman en Neeltje Reuvers
Important source to be analysed: 1934 letter by Hajo Last

If Hein Kofman was rigth and Cornelis Over de Linden indeed stole (or took by force) the manuscript from the Kofman-Reuvers family, this would mean:

• It had great value to Rijkent Kofman and/or Cornelia Reuvers (who in 1948 were ca. 28 and 30 years old respectively), or else they would either just have given it to him, or not have cared much about about him having taken it (and thus, not tell their son he had stolen it);
• Jacob Kofman, being the oldest son (4 years old when Cornelis took it) will have known about it even better than his younger brother Hein, and if missing parts remained in the family, he would most likely have inherited them;
• The missing parts and explanation will have been passed down to Jacob's only son in law (before he died): Gerard Over de Linden, who also became member of the Apostolic church after his marriage with Keetje Kofman;
• If missing parts still existed, Gerards only son, Bartholdus Gerardus (1898- ? ) will most probably have had them and passed them on, unless he had no children (in which case one of his sisters will have, probably).
• Since the only thing found so far about B.G. Over de Linden from after his marriage are two mentions in the Utrecht local newspaper of his participation in chess matches 1943 and 1944, further research is desirable.
