De laatste tijd wordt het prikbord misbruikt voor vervelende "reclame" voor nog vervelender sites die in ieder geval niets met genealogie te maken hebben en al helemaal niet met de naam Buist. Als dit binnenkort weer gebeurt, dan sluit ik dit prikbord en probeer ik een nieuwe methode te vinden. Overigens zal ik degenen die deze berichten plaatsen op basis van hun IP-adres proberen aan te pakken. Recently this messageboard has been abused by people who want to advertise their irrelevant and annoying websites. I will close this messageboard when this happens again and I'll try to take action against the people who post these messages based on their IP address. I will consider alternatives for the messageboard if needed.

Erg leuk om deze site te bekijken!!! Ik ben dan zelf geen Buist maar mijn moeder wel. Mijn moeder is Deddie (Dedde)Buist. Mijn zus en ik zaten al druk in het stamboom naar onze namen te zoeken maar heelaas wij dragen de naam van Buist niet.....dan hoor je er toch niet bij. Ook leuk om hier op het forum stukjes over je familie te lezen. We horen er niet helemaal bij maar toch "voelt" deze site ook een beetje van ons.

Hi Ron, what a great site is this. In my search for the familyroots of my husband Herman Buist and my daughter Myrthe Buist I came across your buist.net. I am very impressed. I want to point out the site: genlias.nl. on this site the archives of the dutch provinces are putting all official data on marriage, death en birth from 1811. Especialy the site of the province of Drenthe is very complete. maybe it helps some of the other Buist.

Hallo Buisten in de wereld, Ik ben (Harmen) Merijn Buist, oudste zoon van Bart Buist (geboren te Appingedam op 04-09-1955), welke weer een zoon is van Harmannes Everhardus, mijn opa die getrouwd was met Fenny Terpstra (mijn oma die nogsteeds in Appingedam woont; mijn opa is enkele jaren geleden overleden). Ik ben zelf 20 en studeer in Enschede. Mijn ouders wonen in het prachtige Zuidlaren (Noord-Drenthe). Mijn moeder heet Margriet Buist-Van Sleen en ik heb drie broertjes: Ruben, Thomas en Steffan. Het was grappig na wat surfen op deze site terecht te komen en bijvoorbeeld te zien hoeveel Thomas Buists en Bart Buists er zijn. Het lijkt me leuk om eens deze site van wat nieuwe up-to-date informatie over onze familietak te voorzien!

I HAPPENED TO MEET A LADY FROM HOLLAND SOME YEARS AGO AND SHE EXPLAINED MY NAME TO ME THIS WAY. "BUIS" IN THE DUTCH LANGUAGE IS EITHER A PIPE OR A TUBE. ADD THE T AND IT REFERS TO A TEACHER OF HOW TO USE THE PIPE OR TUBES. I HAD AN UNCLE (GERALD) WAS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND HE BROUGHT BACK STORIES ABOUT A LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE CHAIN IN HOLLAND UNDER THE NAME "BUIST", HE WAS A GLIDER PIL0T, HE PASSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AS A RETIRED RESERVE MAJOR IN THE U. S. AIR FORCE. I DON'T PRETEND TO KNOW HOW THE NAME GOT SCATTERED ALL OVER THE GLOBE. I AM SURE THAT THE NAME IS OF DUTCH ORIGIN.

Hello to all, My name is William Leith Buist born in Edinburgh and now living in South Africa. Very surprised to see so many of us around! Our family traditions include references to the Dutch but as some form of soldiers who went to England with William of Orange. Our understanding is however that these men were Norman/French and moved up the coast to Scotland fairly soon after having made their point in England! My family consists of my wife Karen and my four sons, Eric, Terry, Colin and Kevin. My Dad was a member of the Scots Guards and the territorial Parachute regiment when we lived in Scotland. Perhaps some of you know of us and would like to drop me a line. Best wishes to you all.

Greetings to all Buists around the globe! I am one of the Dutch descendant Buists. My parents were Peter and Esther (VanderWiere) Buist.My grandparents were Geert and Dena (Zylstra) Buist. My great grandparents, Anna (Postma) and Petrus Zylstra Jr. were originally from Kollem, Friesland. Some of my Aunts and Uncles included James Buist, Charles Buist,Andrew Buist, Hilda Buist Wierenga, Anna Buist Haveman, Alice Buist, and Edith Buist. We pretty much all grew up around the Grand Rapids Michigan area. I have more history on the Zylstra wing of the family tree than I do the Buist tree. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows more about how the Buist tree connects to the old country.

I have been working on my family tree, and it appears that there are Buist's on my mothers side - indeed her original surname was Louisa Marion Buist (B. 31 Jan 1927) before she was adopted and became a Hammond. However, it seems that her mother was Lilias Buist (B. May 20 1884), Daughter of George Buist and Lilias Buist (originally Chalton, Born Lewis) - birth dates yet to be found. They lived in Wolverhampton at the time, but there appear to be no more Buist's left in the phone book. I have lots more work to do on the tree, and as soon as I find more I will add to the tree for you. In the meantime, if anyone can shed light on more of my tree I would be grateful.

I wanted to add that my Great Aunt Emma listed below is the daughter of James and Emma Buist. James was born in the Netherlands. As well as, Emma (Streekstra) was born in the Netherlands. They were married on Sept. 11, 1863 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and had 17 Children, 66 grandchildren, and the numbers continued on but I am unsure of the accuracy to date. I am one of the 223 great-grandchildren accounted for in the late 80's. I have a book very well organized by another of our relatives that may answer many questions. This book does also say that James Buist was the son of Gerrit and Hilda (Werkema) Buist. My grandmother, Irene Buist (Southland)passed away at the age of 84 in 2003.

Hééé, dat is leuk. Nog maar net aan de computer vind ik een Buist-site. Girbe Hindriks Buist van 1778 was schoolmeester te Zevenhuizen. Zijn dochter Dieuwkje huwde met Egbert Jans Smilda en zo kwam de naam Girbe in de Smilda-familie terecht. In de Smilda-stamboom komen zeven personen voor die de naam Girbe dragen of gedragen hebben.Twee broers van Egbert Jans Smilda waren ook schoolmeesters in Zevenhuizen en langs deze weg kwamen de leerkrachten in de familie. Zelf was ik tot aan mijn pensioen leraar wis- en natuurkunde en scheikunde en ook twee van onze dochters zijn lerares. De jongste, Lolkje Smilda aan de Ballet-academie te Amsterdam. Het kan verkeren.

It is AMAZING to see the Buist name spread so far and wide. I grew up in Utah and am currently living in Salt Lake City but recently had the opportunity to spend some time studying in Scotland where my family is from. My Great Grandfather David Elder Buist was born in Arbroath and crossed the great pond at some point in time and settled in Utah. Being interested in my family roots I traced back the lineage a few generations but am stuck. David Elder Buist was son of David Elder Buist who was son Of John Buist of Brechin Angus Scotland but I can't seem to find any info past theat.

Hi, Great to see all the Buists from around thte world. I live in England now but was born and grew up in Tayport, Fife where my father's family all came from. My father, Sydney, is now sadly dead but he was one of a large family. I have traced our ancestry back to about 1700--we have always been Fife based although some relatives have made forays further afield--some to Dundee (a whole 5 miles away!) and some abroad. The name lives on with my two brothers and their children. My daughter has Buist as a middle name. I am also interested to hear from anyone with the name of Coss from the same area. Jennie

My full name is Ronald William Buist and my reason for being on the Google web site now is that I have just written a book called 'tales from under the rim" which is available nationally in Canada and through Barns and Noble in the U.S (published by Goose Lane Editions )It is the marketing story of Tim Hortons and describes among other things, the contest 'roll up the rim to win" which I invented. My father's name (deceased) was William Alexander Buist. His father was Ormston Buist. Dad was born in Hamilton Ontario Canada where his Father, Ormston, had a large ice cream plant, Buist Ice Cream. Ormston invented the brick of ice cream and designed one of the first cardboard milk cartons. Dad had a brother Fred (deceased) who lived in Sarnia, Ontario. OUr side of the Buist family immigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1834. There were seven brothers, all of whom had 'alexander" as part of their name. My mother's maiden name was Meredith. Mom (now deceased) and Dad were married in Toronto in 1927. I have a sister, Patrica June, who lives now in N. Carolina. I am married with two children, Kevin and Suzanne both married. Very interested in finding out about the missing Scottish link back in 1834 and earlier. I'll watch the web site.

Nu ik even wat tijd heb om weer naar mijn voorouders te zoeken kwam ik de Buist-site tegen. Mijn grootmoeder is Jantina Berendina Buist, geb. 23 Febr. 1908; overleden 8 Sept. 1978; gehuwd met Gosse Benthem. De tekst op de grafsteen van haar ouders; te Zuidhorn, luidt: "Ter gedachtenis aan onze geliefde man en vader onze geliefde moeder Reinder Buist Geertje van der Molen * 3 November 1875 * 4 Januari 1881 + 28 Juli 1958 + 4 October 1972 echtgenoot van weduwe van G. van der Molen R.

Hallo Gerard en Petra! Wat een dijk van een fout zeg; mijn welgemeende excuses. Ik heb de gegevens inmiddels aangepast. Mochten jullie nog meer aanvullingen of toevoegingen hebben, dan hou ik me van harte aanbevolen. Groeten, Ron.

Hoi Ron, wat leuk om deze website te bekijken! Ook wel apart om ineens jezelf tegen te komen. We hebben twee wijzigingen in de gegevens: Bij ons zoontje Ruben Girbe Buist is vermeld dat zijn plaats van overlijden Almelo is, dát willen we nog even niet weten, hij is 7 jaar oud en woont nog lekker bij ons thuis in Schiedam. Ook Gerard's opa, Girbe Buist, staat vermeld als Girben Buist. Alle Girbe's hebben de n niet, en opa ook niet. Hartelijke groeten en succes met 'onze' site!!! Gerard en Petra

De naam Gringhuis wordt op het internet genoemd in verband met de familie Buist. Romtje Buist, dochter van Jan Buist en Hindertje Wildschut, geboren op 29 juli 1851 te stadskanaal en overleden op 17-10-1928 te Nieuwe Pekela zou zijn getrouwd met Hindrik Gringhuis, geboren 14-01-1854 te stadskanaal en overleden 25-12-1939.

Toevallig op deze site terecht gekomen. Ik ben voluit Kornelis Jacob Buist, geboren 3 maart 1941 te Grijpskerk. Zoon van Arend Jan Buist (geboren 14 januari 1911) die weer een zoon is van Kornelis Buist (geboren 12 april 1877 te Leegkerk). De laatste was een zoon van Gerrit Buist, geboren 21 februari 1842 (of 1932?) te Groningen, die in deze database voor komt. Ooit ben ik ook eens begonnen aan de opzet van een stamboom, maar compleet is deze nooit geworden. Wel vond ik gemakkelijk aansluiting via de genoemde Gerrit Buist van 21 februari 1932. Ik woon in Maarssen, Mozartlaan 66 en mijn belangrijkste hobby is audio apparatuur. Die hobby is in zoverre uit de hand gelopen dat ik zelf hele goede luidsprekers uit Denemarken importeer en rechtstreeks verkoop. Mensen uit heel Nederland (letterlijk van Vlissingen tot Delfzijl) komen bij mij luidsprekers halen. En de "Buisten" krijgen 10% korting op de toch al heel lage prijs. Groeten Kor Buist

Hi all, nice to have found this forum. My birth name is Marja but my nickname is Erna. My family comes from the Netherlands, most of the Buists came from the neighbourhood around Grijpskerk in Groningen. My grandfather Gerrit Buist was the son of a farmer, he became teacher and moved to Drente and then to Haarlem. He married Marie de Haan (I think also from Grijpskerk) and they got 5 children, one of them died in WW2. The family roots have been traced back until about 1700 and lie in Scotland. bye, Erna

Hello all BUISTS! Although my last name is now of Dutch extraction, my maiden name is Buist and I'm connected to the Scottish BUISTs. My family came mainly from Dundee, Scotland. My grandfather, David Craig Buist, emigrated to the US in 1908. I am in contact with other Scottish BUIST researchers from around the world and would love to hear from you, too!

I stumbled across this web site while searching for information about my ansestors. My great grandfather , David Elder Buist, came over to the US from Arbroath, Forfarshire Scotland around 1879 and settled in Mendon Utah. I have been able to trace back only 2 generations further to my great great great grandfather John Buist of Brechin Angus Scotland. I've been researching for quite sometime trying to uncover further roots but I've been unsuccessful. I'll be attending University in St. Andrews begining this year which has sparked my interest to learn more about my heritage and the possibility of even discovering relatives i never knew about . Anyway if any one happens to have or stumble across some info I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!

Hello, nice to find this site I'm looking for English & New Zealand BUISTs. Starting with George BUIST m. 1815 Mary Ann BRISLAND. Their son George James BUIST (chr. 1821, London, d. 1885 Christchurch, NZ) m. 1848 Emma HYMAS, and their son George BUIST (b. 1849, London). All this is conjecture at the moment, not confirmed, but if it all fits this last George was my 3rd great grandfather.
