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.
