Introduction
From genealogical research, six different Marcelissen families have formed. Until now, no relationship between these six families could be established.
This family Marcelissen from Linden in the province of Noord Brabant is one of the six, in my database it is known as "Marcelissen-4".
The eldest known ancestors are Francois Geurts and Helena Martens, while the first Marcelissen is their son Leonard Marcelissen although he was baptized as Leonard Geurts.
Leonard's first recorded use of the name Marcelissen is in a baptism register in 1809 where he is a withness. He married Johanna Jans in 1811, as Leonard Marcelissen.
No doubt, this is due to the introduction by Napoleon of the Civil Code of 1811, requiring eavery person to have an official family name.
Why Leonard took Marcelissen and not Geurts as family name is anybody's guess.
Corrections and additions are most welcome. I can be contacted via Facebook.
