Schrijver family
Schrijver, a Dutch Mennonite family of Flemish descent. To this family belongs Gillis Schrijver, a Mennonite elder in Flanders, who played a part in the Flemish-Frisian quarrels at Harlingen in 1566-67. In the early 17th century a branch of this family was living in Utrecht; from here the family spread over a number of North Holland towns. Cornelis and Coenraad Schrijver were Mennonite merchants at Amsterdam in the 18th century. Pieter Schrijver was a Mennonite minister. A Tobias Schrijver, a Mennonite, managed a lace factory at Kampen from 1760. About 1650 a Mennonite Schrijver (Schryfer) family was living at Goch, Germany.
