These
arms were registered
with the Dutch Heraldry
Society by Hendrik Jan
Evenboer, born
Emmercompascum, 1951,
living in Thale,
Saxony-Anhalt, Germany,
and Ben Evenboer, born
Glanerbrug December 8,
1955, living in Ede,
province of Gelderland,
the Netherlands, sons of

(1920-1992) and

(1924-2004).
The arms are canting and
refer to the hamlet
Ruitenveen in the
municipality of Dalfsen,
Netherlands. The Dutch
word 'ruiten' translates
to lozenges, the word
'veen' to moor (Sable),
and the hamlet of

sand ridge (Or) in the
moor.
The genealogy of the
Evenboer family starts
with Hendrik Jans
Evenboer, born

in Ruitenveen, son of
Jan Henriks and Grietjen
Roelofs, died
Nieuwleusen March 23,
1840, married
Nieuwleusen April 6,
1782 to Annigje
Hendriks, born
Ruitenveen 1758, died
Zwollerkerspel July 8,
1814.
Most of the members of
the family Evenboer live
in the Netherlands, but
some branches spread to
the U.S. state of
Michigan, the province
of Antwerp in Belgium,
and to the German states
North Rhine-Westphalia
and Saxony-Anhalt.
The coat of arms of the
Evenboer family may be
used by all living
descendants of Hendrik
Jans Evenboer and
Annigje Hendriks,
bearing the surname
Evenboer.
