"cstapel.nl" applies html 4, sized to the browsers Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. July 2016 IE up till 11 corrupted some font formats, possibly due to delayed maintenance.
Since then I no longer test my website with IE. Even though Firefox and Chrome handle space between textblocks differently, it has no consequense in most screens or settings.
When texts do overlap or jump,  zooming may help to correct  (< ctr > + or - ). Pages were checked to fit 16 : 9screens, as long as the date bottom left remains visible.
In tablets and cellphones text and images appear different again. I am still trying to understand how this can be done without confusing overlaps.


List of all website changes:

Sep-2016
"Staple explained" in "about all Stapels" and "Staple in geography" is updated in text and content with newer views. A map insert relates to Europe at large.
The Dutch Taalkalender reported recently that ±1800 the Dutch borrowed the word "etappe" from the French army, who in turn took it from "stapel" as the
distance between two subsequent assembling places or depots. "Etappe" is now the general Dutch word for a stage in cycle races and other multistage events.

Jul-2016
"about all Stapels" is supplemented with a submenu "Staple in geography" dealing with the 3 parts of formerly "the name Stapel" in coherence:
"staple explained" offers an enhanced map of north-west Europe and describes several aspects of stapel related geographical names.
Note 1) mentions 1492 next to Columbus and Étaple also as Gerard van Wou then founded a bronze bell for the church of Stapel near Luckstedt (G).
"Stapel in NL and D" includes, with thanks to the maker, a photo of the Stapel church, which at 250 years of age got a Kampen bell in 1492.
"Staple in F and GB" is rewritten regarding Staple Plain and provided with a reference to the photographers.
Also in "about all Stapels" on the page "famous Stapels a link is added to a photo of Claes Stapel's Almshouse" in Hoorn, courtesy Eeuwoud van den Heuvel.
"The menu" page left is redesigned with more space and the submenu sequence of "in Bergen op Zoom" is rearranged for easier access.
"The radar shower image" accicdentally coïncides well with the spreading of the geographical name Stapel in Europe.
"Internet Explorer 11", as mentioned on top of this page, is no longer well maintaned and font formats may be corrupted, as I noticed July 2016.
Therefore from now on, next to Mozilla Firefox I will use Google Chrome instead as a development tool for my website updates.

Jun-2016
"Staple & Staples My Family Branch" (SSMFB) in North West America have investigated their familynames geographically and genealogically.
Peter Staple Heritage Group (PSHG) started a DNA project to explore possible family ties. Links are included on Dutch families and the name Stapel.
The latter also describes the meaning and the historical context of the spreading of the name Stapel more precisely.
"Wikipedia" in Germany issued an article about Stapel, with linguistical, geographical, biographical and other information.
The "menu" page left shows an actual rain radar image of the Netherlands. A mouseclick on this image creates a new frame with the weatherwebsite.

May-2016
"Uncle Ben Stapel and aunt Jo's" website biography has been made accessible to all visitors, as their daughter Emmy decided that password protection is no longer necessary.
"out of Pomerania" is now illustrated not only with Eickeler certificates but also with a triple choice family tree and with images from Faulenbenz and surroundings.
Several other sources are accessible, like the Faulenbenz' Curchbook 1820-1874, a map of Stapels in Pomerania and a letter on the presence of Stapels in Faulenbenz after 1700.
The history of Stapels in Pomerania narrates how they probably started from the northwestern European Lowlands to become colonists in Pomerania, Poland and perhaps Russia too.
"the name Stapel" adds 5 geographical names in England to the 32 already given, from the north: Staple Sound, an 8th Stapleton, Staplow, a 2nd Staple Hill en Staples Hill.
Also highlighted in "work and hobby" under menu item "about us":
Gilde De Baronie's 30th anniversary was celebrated april 22, 2016; at this occasion Jo Timmermans, my successor on the Gilde board, took over the Chair.
Earlier in the week journal BNdeStem interviewed the coming and going chairmen, while Gilde De Baronie on its website showed a photo-reportage of the celebrations.

Feb-2016
The Stapel family trees of Faulenbenz and Gendt are now combined into one new "patrilinear family tree", as shown halfway the page out of Pommerania (see link below).
Beside the menu and the website details the following pages have been modified too:
"out of Pommerania", with a further evaluation of the relationship of the Guelders' Stapels with Eickel, Faulenbenz and Pomerania.
"David Stapel I", with his biography brought in line with the new Faulenbenz background information.
"the story of the Guelder's Stapels", now including the past activities of Stapel colonistst in Pomerania and Poland.
"travels in Europe", now also indicating the possible origin of Stapel colonists.

Sep-2015
"out of Pomerania" is partly overtaken by new data and rewritten now I have reached a generation further back with David Stapel 1705-1772 as our earliest Stapel in Pomerania.
Though written proof is still lacking, chances are strong that he is the father or an uncle of our David Stapel born around 1730 in Pomerania who came via Eickel to settle in Gendt.
Also their past history is revealing itself bit by bit, as already indicated below in "July-2015".
The village Faulenbenz was named after a manor with the older name "Vulenbenze" or "lazy bench". On the owners request it was renamed Eichenwalde, Oakwood in 1886.
In 1945 Eastern-Pomerania was added to Poland and German inhabitants were expelled. Since then the village is named Debiçe.
"Jan Willem Carel Stapel's" page is visited by his sister in law Willemina. Even with two Ederveens amongst our ancestors she is the only Ederveen family on photo.
By courtesy of her greatgranddaughter Jackie Dickinson from Australia her photograph can now help us imagine how they may have looked like.
The menu is further partitioned into information sets with each their own history and composition, starting with a general overview and finishing with my own family branch:
- "about all Stapels" investigates the meaning and geographical spreading of the name Stapel and shows where in the Netherlands Stapels chose to settle.
- "Guelders' Stapels" describes the origin of Pomeranian David Stapel and the settling of his extended family in Guelder's Gendt and surroundings.
- "in Roosendaal" narrates the lifestory of Gendt's Jan Willem Carel and his children born in Limburg's Afferden, growing up in Brabantine Roosendaal.
- "in Bergen op Zoom" finally presents my parents family tree quarters, the Stapel half of which is the same of course for all Roosendaal's Stapels.

July-2015
Digitalizing making great strides allows genealogists today to scan European archives for online documents ever more efficiently at home from behind their own desk.
The "Secret Statesarchive for Prussian Cultural Heritage" in Berlin keeps salescontracts of a Stapel family farm in Faulenbenz, possibly with more extended information to
connect the Pomeranian farmer and bailiff David Stapel from Faulenbenz and David Stapel (I) from Pomerania, who married in Eickel and came to Gendt in 1759.
The "Brandenburg Country Archive" in Potsdam keeps a request from one David Stapel, a colonist originating from Poland, for help in reclaiming a substantial amount of money,
loaned in 1763. "Colonists" from the Low Countries and Northern Germany went to Pomerania, Poland and Russia already in the late Middle Ages until well into the 18th century.
So the word colonist opens new questions and perspectives on where Pomeranian Stapels in their turn may have come from.
Finaly there is the "Pomeranian Databank", with names and addresses of professionals and companies in Pomerania in the 19th and the 20th century.
Hopefuly I can report more about it, when the requested copies are received and transscribed.
"Genealogy links" now include links to the Landesarchive Greifswald, the Secret Statesarchive in Berlin, the Brandenburg Country archive in Potsdam and the Pomeranian Databank.
"Prussian traces" mentions at the end of "Prussian Pomerania" twentieth century Stapels in Pomerania and in former Faulenbenz or Eichenwalde, now Dębice.
For fast reading the "home" menu is illustrated with flags from countries where Stapel family members emigrated to.

June-2015
The text changes introduced in May under "about Stapels" and under "Guelders' Stapels" have been further explained and the genealogical conclusions clearer deduced.
"meaning and spread" of the word stapel identifies the Celtic resistance against the Anglo-Saxons as a factor in the spread of geographical names including the word staple.
"Gendt data" further explores the meaning of text details in the VOC Paybook and in the HKG Genealogy of David Stapel.
"Prussian traces" have been modified primarilly in language, to express its content in easier reading.

May-2015
In the menu left the first titles under "about Stapels" and "Guelders' Stapels" have been extended with a dropdown menu with more specific subtitles.
In "about Stapels" the geografical and historical aspects of "the name Stapel" have been segregated in that way from the descriptions of Dutch Stapel families.
In "Guelders' Stapels" the title "from Pomerania" offers a dropdown menu to separate the Gendt's data from the Prussian traces of the Guelders' Stapels' origins.
"Prussian traces" shows the name Stapel to have as much as disappeared from the Pomeranian hamlet Faulenbenz by 1886, when it was renamed Eichenwalde.

Mar-2015
"Domaine Stapel" are authentic Burgundy wines, produced for decades by Jan Stapel, winegrower in France. How to taste, buy and order them is explained too.
"Where we live" under "about us" shows a strong harbingor of Spring: Strings of toad spawn in a fen, on the Strijbeekse Heide.
"The home page" is on her own request now without the prominent presence of Coby my wife, in line with her actual share in the content and maintenance of the website.
"Markkant" Environmental Society for southern Breda opened a new website!

Dec-2014
"genealogy links" under "about Stapels" now refer to updated internet addresses for Geneanet and Roosendaal; wiewaswie replaces the obsolete Genlias.
"where we live" under "about us" shows a Wrinkeled Peache. More recent season pictures are shown in "Autumn".

Oct-2014
"work and hobby" under "about us" mentions more about "derubbishing" at its page end, also showing a map with area details.
KNVWS section West-Brabantine held a stargazing weekend October 23-26 at Château de Lametz, Ardennes (F), with 11 members participating. Here is a photo "impression".
"the name Stapel" mentions that Staple near Quantoxhead, Sommerset is written in full "Staple Plain": a hill with moors, pines and a bronze age "Burial Cairn".
Possibly the Plain owes its Staple name to this monument with its heaped pile of rocks, as I could make up from what "Simon Youé" was kind enough to send me.
He himself believes the name could have come from the Bicknoller Post or the Halsway Post, indicating the roads to those places.
Added to the geographical names with staple is Staploe, including Upper-Staploe, a hamlet in Bedfordshire, England. The name comes from Stapel and hoh (Danish for hill).

Sep-2014
"the name Stapel" in "about Stapels" further details the Stapel geography paragraph and ventures to guestimate the order of magnitude of the large regional Stapel families.
From the statue "girl" by sculptor Frits Stapel initially only a vague internet picture was available, copied via Google Streetview.
Sunday Sept.28 I had the chance to take a clearer photograph in truly favourable light conditions. This is included now on the page "famous Stapels" under "about Stapels".

Aug-2014
Theo van der Zalm, my nephew and an historian, pointed out that a country with the name Germany or with the size as we know it now, did not exist before 1871 or Bismarck.
In response I have changed the name Germany and the word German on a number of pages in Prussia, Prussian of otherwise, as appropriate.
"the name Stapel" in the section "about Stapels" analyses in more depth the geography, history and genealogy of the name Stapel and reviews the sources and limitations.
All place-names in Europe including the word staple or stapel are shown on a new map, with links to impressions of most Stapel and Staple communities in northwest Europe.
Also the related word "steeple" has been included in the exploration. Apparently, a Staple Island and a Steeple Island each do exist, with an ocean of difference.
"famous Stapels" under "about Stapels" now includes a 13th one: Johannes Bodæus Stapel, a brilliant botanist from Amsterdam. "Stapelia's have been named after him by Linnæus.
"their origin" under "Guelders' Stapels" reports in a footnote two more early Stapels named David. They cannot be connected to Gendt or other Stapel families.
"where we live" under "about us" shows new Summer images from the Wolfslaar natural garden and the Bavel Brook.

May-2014
Six "famous Stapels" have been added: Claes (poet), Pieter (commissioner), Herman Bernard (governor), Frits (sculptor), Harry (sports) and Gerrit Cornelis (resistence).
Details of some earlier included Stapels have been added or updated.
The pages about "David Stapel (I)", "Johan Hendrik Stapel" and "David Stapel (II)" have been improved in language and include more links to related pages.

Apr-2014
"David Stapel (I)" now shows a picture of the 15th century Johannes church on the Eickeler Market, taken before its demolition in 1890. Also the language has been modified.
The previous picture showed the new Johanneschurch, rebuild nearby.

Mar-2014
"David Stapel (I)", "Johan Hendrik Stapel" and "David Stapel (II)", the first three generations Guelders' Stapels, are now also included with their own biographies in "their lives".
All Stapel generations are now uninterruptedly represented, starting with David (I) from Pomerania through Johannes Bernardus and five of his eight children in Roosendaal.
Their biographies are illustrateded with original manuscripts and appropriate images.
"their origin" and "their story" in "Guelders' Stapels" and "by river and sea" in "their jobs" are adapted accordingly, to eliminate unnecessary repetitions.

Feb-2014
"by river and sea" in "their jobs" reports on ancestor Johan Hendrik Stapel engaged by the Dutch East India Company, sailing to Batavia well before Napoleons rise.
  The very existence of our Stapel branche hung by a thread on his safe return five years later with the "Duyf"...
"their origin" in "Guelders' Stapels" explains via his named mother that David was his father indeed, who by then must have died already.
"Hintzen" in "my fathers tables" under "family tree" shows a second photograph of Christiaan Jacobus Hintzen.
"with the police" in "their jobs" now shows a hat worn by constables like Jan Willem Carel in his era. Collector Michel van Grinsven knows that headgear varied with regions.
  Corps decided themselves and there were several suppliers. Some corps chose helmets, others preferred hats, shako's or caps.
  The hat fits best with the time frame of your illustration needs."
"where we live" in "about us" show snowdrops in the garden, as a tentative sign of Spring.
"near nature" in "about us" shows the extended collection of season pictures.

Sep-2013
"home" is further shifted towards a 9(:)16 screenratio and now includes a title with the main subjects of the website.
"The menu" starts as from now with chapters only, each of which opens a dropdown menu. Original headings are kept, though some were split or sorted differently.
  Individual family member pages can still be accessed via "their jobs", but this menu provides a direct access via the chapter "their lives" as well.
  At Johannes Bernardus the menu drops down to a second level, thereby rendering the horizontal menu on top of his earlier pages superfluous.
  The tabs in "their lives" are too narrow to write all names in full; therefore 2nd or 3rd names are abbreviated to fit.
"the name Stapel" is the general part of the former "history" page plus some new aspects, about the meaning, the occurence and the origins of the name Stapel.
  The remaining part is now called "their story", focussing on Guelders' Stapels in particular.
"in Europe" is converted from an image into text, like "in Guelderland" before; letters are clean cut, details updated and suitable links provided.
  The portraits, police helmet and locomotive are relocated, as they are unrelated to our European migration:
"Bernard's Family" already shows portraits of Bernard Stapel and Elisabeth Hintzen.
"with the police" now shows a clear picture of a 19th century county constable helmet, with a link to more police helmets from their era;
"on the railways" shows a grand photo of locomotive NS3737, with a link to more photo's and the history of "De oude dame".

"Famous Stapels" itself is corrected: VOC historian F.W. Stapel is not a 4th but a 5th generation descendant of David, also shown in above patrilinear tree.
"in memoriam Piet Dane" is the farewell I spoke at the cremation ceremony of the previous chairman of Gilde De Baronie.

Jul-2013
"website news" now provides on top a short explanation on page structuring and how page appearance may be improved to correct for inadequate browser standards.
The "menu" on the left defines and groups subjects clearer, while switching languages is made easier. A foreign white bar between menu and pages could be removed.
"where we live", earlier "Breda+environs", shows a summerpicture, so quick already after the late Spring.
"Guelders' Stapels" from now on indicates the wider circle of David Stapel descendants. "Gendt's Stapels" is reserved for Stapels living in proper Gendt.
  The new naming applies to the pages origin, history, famous Stapels and to the menu, in which "around Gendt" is renamed "in Guelderland".
"in Guelderland" itself is transformed from a pure image into a textsheet. Visually this shows in the clearer cut characters and thus better readableness
"home": the picture on the Waaldike is moved further to the right and overall text layout was edited.
"in Europe": the text is corrected and a link to the familytree is provided.
"Polderrozen": In the related picture an imaginairy base is added, situated in an open polder landscape, to suggest the true length of the mooring mast.
  While reading the poem, the mind also reads the depth of the flood from the tall mast.
"near nature" (previously "natural beauties") now includes at the end all seasonal pictures used sofar in cstapel.nl.

Apr-2013
"Polderrozen" is the poem Ad Stapel wrote about the 1953 flood in Halsteren.
  It is referenced on Willem Karel Stapel's page in the footnote.
"Breda+environs" at last shows the spring we so long hoped for.

Jan-2013
"Page layout" on this website version is further harmonised in text format and width.
  Text on many pages was reviewed, without significant change of content.
"Bernardus Stapel and his family" starts with an introduction.
"Hendrik Willem Stapel" includes information and a photograph about his retirement years as well.
"Willem Karel Stapel", my parents' page, is similarly extended and includes contributions of their youngest son and daughter.
