[Jacob Dirks's] son, Dirck Jacobzen Roosecrans, was a Captain of theCivil Guards and later Commissioner of Matrimonial Affairs, 1589 and1603. Dirck also used the coat of arms of his father, Jacob. Untilabout 1900, the spelling of names was not considered very important.Individuals modified the spelling of their names to suit their owntastes. Dirck seems to have "Dutchified" his family name. His middlename echoes the ancient practice of incorporating his father's name withthe "son of" postfix. And it appears that he may have been named afterhis grandfather. Dirck appears in the portrait in the frontispiece ofAllen's book. Holland was under Spanish rule during the time of the SpanishInquisition. In 1567, Jacob Dircksen's property was confiscated and hewas exiled by the Spanish Duke of Alva "for the state of his religion."He had traded in Erik's Catholicism for the Calvinism which was makinginroads in Europe at that time. Here the Holland paper trail ends. There were no Rosenkranses living inHolland in the late 1800's when Allen was conducting his investigation.Were some or all of them ultimately exiled? Dirck was known to be livingin Holland more than 35 years after his father was exiled, so he may nothave been. Did he die childless, or did the male line end at somepoint? Were there other family members, and were any of them exiled too?We do not know. The scene shifts to Bergen, Norway, in the late 1500's and early 1600's.Bergen city records show that a number of Rosenkranses emigrated thereduring that time frame. Was Jacob Dircksen one of them? Given hisancestry, it seems likely that Jacob Dircksen would have chosen exile ina Scandinavian country. Were there any other family members/relativesfrom Holland in that group? Again, we do not know. The church in Bergen burned down in 1674, which destroyed all of thepertinent birth records prior to that date. So we have no direct methodfor linking Harmon Hendrick Rosenkrans with an ancestor in Norway who hadcome there from Holland.
