The Muizelaar family is written about in the book 'Muizelaar, een familie uit Hemelummer Oldephaert en Noordwolde'. This book is updated until 1988 and written by O. Muizelaar from Makkum.
The family starts around 1650 near Warns in Zuid-West Fryslân. In 1750 a Geert Annes marries Aaltje Muiselaar from Hindeloopen. The name Muiselaar is already known in 1650. Geert Annes officially assumes the name Muizelaar in 1812. First the family spreads in Fryslân. After 1900 they also move to Noord Holland and the USA. Now they can be found everywhere. Those who went to the USA were not found as Muizelaar, but were registered on Ellis Island in New York as Muiselaar.
There could be other families that have also adopted the name Muizelaar.
