Worlands in Antrim Belfast, Ireland

I have recieved this email from Andrew Warland of Sydney, Australia. If anyone has information of Irish Worlands, please contact him. Also, check out his website. Good Stuff.


Hi Deci
 I came across your Ancestry posting about the
 Worlands and related families. I'm on a mobile device so
 I'm not yet able to check if your posting includes any
 Worland family members I have details for on my Warland /
 Worland website:
 Www.andrewwarland.com.au/warland.html
 A quick question - do you have details of a
 Worland family living in Antrim Belfast, Ireland in the late
 1800s?
 Kind regards
 Andrew Warland

January 18, 1608- My ninth great grandaunt, Hester Pletjes Op den Graeff, the daughter of Hermann Op den Graeff & Gretjen Driessen Pletjes, is born in Krefeld, Herzogtum Kleve, Germany. She is one of 18 children, half of whom would die in infancy.
 
Hester's father, Hermann, (my tenth great grandfather), was the first reported member of the Op den Graeff family.

He was a Mennonite bishop and a wealthy linen weaver and merchant in Krefeld. He lived in a house with notorious stained glass windows full of hymns (partly to himself) and mystical religious symbolism, some of it Catholic. A window from his house, now in the Krefeld Museum, says in German "To be God-fearing, devout and of good morals; zealous, hospitable and truthful in speech--is Christian, and pleases the Lord; brings favor, and sets many a one to great honor. Herman op Den Graff und greitgen lein hoffrow. A 1630."  (Translated from the German.)
Pictured is the Op den Graeff window of Krefeld, with the coat of arms  showing the "Lohengrin Swan" of the Arms of Cleves.

The Op den Graeff family were said to be tall and spare in physique and have strongly marked features.
