Hoogenbosch name
Already in the 16th century people used surnames, but there was no fixed spelling. Besides surnames people used patronyms or nicknames.
During the 16th century churches started registering baptisms and marriages.The most important churches were the Dutch Reformed Church (the state church) and the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic children were usually baptized within 24 hours after birth, protestant children on the first or second sunday after birth.
Marriages were only allowed in the Dutch Reformed Church, in the French-language Walloon Church and before the magistrate. Catholics often married in their own church anyway, usually after a civil or protestant marriage.
The way a surname was registrated depended on how the clerk thought that a name could be written, that's why there are so many spelling variations for the same name even within one family. The way Hoogenbosch is spelled varies from Hobos -> Ho(o)genbos(ch).
The spelling of surnames got fixed when the civil register was introduced in 1811, during the brief French occupation of The Netherlands (1810-1813). Since 1811, marriages have to take place before the magistrate, and for each marriage, an act of marriage is written into a marriage register. All births and deaths have to be reported within three working days, and acts are written into the relevant registers.
For privacy reasons birth acts are not made public within 100 years, marriage acts are not made public within 75 years and death acts are not made public within 50 years.
Hoogenbosch is a so called topographical name, it means “high woods”.
