Johannes Buys
Johannes Buys, my mother's 3rd great-grandfather, was an educated businessman and philanthropist in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Much of the material on this page was provided to me by John Boeran, a professional genealogist in the Netherlands, whom I hired in the spring of 2024 to learn more about Johannes. His entire seven page report to me can be found here.
