Welcome
This is the website of the Dutilh Family Foundation
The Dutilh family originates from Aquitaine, the French Region located in the South West of the country, in particular from places like Bearn and Orthez. Until to date this is the region where most Dutilh’s are living.
The Dutch Dutilh family descends from Clairac, the city which its ancestors left in around 1700. At present around ninety descendants live around the world, but most of them still live in The Netherlands, with a large number in both Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
In 1962 the Dutch family established the Dutilh Family Foundation, with three main objectives:
- Maintain and support the interaction between members of the family
- Stimulate collection and preservation of family heritage
- Create a better understanding of the family history
This website is one of the tools to achieve those objectives.

Mariette Dutilh in audio perfomance about Rotterdam
75 years ago, in 1941, Rotterdam started the reconstruction of the citycentre, after being bombed during WWII.
To commemorate this event, Verhalenhuis Belvédère in Rotterdam Katendrecht, the first museum of immaterial heritage, recorded 101 personal histories of people of Rotterdam. One of these stories is told by Mariette Dutilh, born in Rotterdam on the 8th of May in 1945 – the day the Canadians liberated the city. She shares the memories of her life in the city.
The most emotional, funny, special and intense moments of her and all the other personal histories have been selected for 4 special audio perfomances.
