1655- Will
This is a will from 1655. The testators are:
Huijch Harmensz van Dijssel and his mother Claesgen Huigen (who died in 1650).
The 'heir' is Fietgen Pietersdr, who I believe is Huijch's step-sister?
It concerns a boat called ;Great Geneose in Amsterdam- I think?
As always any light that can be thrown on this family through this deed would be really helpful to my research.
With grateful thanks.

p.s. Is the witness to this document Joris Mesch?
Hi Anne,
Quick summary: it is a standard will, drawn up at the request of Huijch Jans van Dijssel, who is ready to set sail for the Strait (I presume: of Gibraltar) on a ship called 'Groote Leimeester' (not entirely sure about the name). He appoints as his sole heir Fijtge Pieters, his unmarried adult (>24 years old) niece (if I recall correctly, she was also caretaker of the home of the stepfather in the dispute in the other posts...).
