What is the time period known as the Age of Enlightenment?
Most consider the Age of Enlightenment to have ended with the start of the French Revolution in 1789. For more than a century before that the discoveries of scientists, such as Galileo, and ideas of philosophers, such as Rene Descartes, had led people into a rejection of the automatic respect for kings and the Christian priesthood that had been common in Europe during and since the Middle Ages. All nations contributed to the Enlightenment agenda, but the French led the way during the 18th century. The writings of Denis Diderot, Voltaire and D'Alembert, all French, provided the material for the supporters of the Enlightenment to take the argument to the traditionalists. These writers lived in the reign of King Louis the Fifteenth of France (1715-1774).
What does the name Kurvers mean?
The name Kurvers originates from the Belgium border town Stokkem in the Belgium province of Limburg. In this small village a famous school existed where students were taught how to fabricate a Korf (Basket). Surnames often derived from the profession of a given person. Hence, the first family member accounted for in writing was named Renerus (Rene) Korver (d.o.b. 1624). The letter s was often added to the end of the surname of its father. Therefore, the first documented child of Renerus was called Theodorus Korfs. One should realize that due to mistakes in pronunciation an writing, the name Kurvers has also been written as Korver, Korvers, Corver, Corvers etc. Anyways, Theodorus decides to cross the river Meuse and starts living in Sittard, a somewhat larger city, in effect only about 10 miles from his birtplace in Belgium. Even the name of the province in the Netherlands is the same as the one in Belgium: Limburg. Thereafter The Kurvers family remains to live in the Netherlands, apart from another Theodorus Kurvers, who around 1864 moved to the USA, more specific Minnesota. In the Netherlands The Kurvers slowly spread over the country, the most populated Kurvers areas are Gpuda/Moordrecht/Rotterdam, and Den Bosch. In the South of the Netherlands (limburg provence) the most populated areas are Venlo and surroundings, Maastricht and surroundings, and finally the Dutch hometown Sittard where the density of people named Kurvers remains highest.
