http://www.vanmetre.com/papers/van_meteren_family.htm Jan Gijsbertsen was probably named after, Jan Gijsbertsen van Meteren (born 1585 and married to Soeta Tijnagel). Most people think, that for instants Jan Gijsberts is the son of Gijsberts. This is true in most cases. However, sometimes a double name is just the name of a relative. We see for example that Gerrit Willemse van Meteren (born 15.12.1695), son of Gijsbert Marten van Meteren was named after his grandfather from his mother's side, Gerrit Willemse van Rijnberk. The fact that Jan Gijsbertsen van Meteren and his son Crijn Jansen van Meteren both were married to a Van Cleef, (who came from Antwerp) also points into the direction of the Antwerp ancestors. Another point is, that a van Meteren visited Zaltbommel during one of the sieges together with the prince of Orange. It is logical thing is that after the decline of Antwerp as a centre of trade and commerce during the second half of the eighty years war and the division of 'the low countries' between catholic dominated the south part (nowadays called the state of Belgium) and the protestant dominated nothern part (the present Netherlands) the protestant van Meteren moved north again. They moved to a town as close as possible to the old grounds of there ancestors that was firm in the hands of there protestants fellow countrymen: Zaltbommel.
