Here are five resources to get you started:

Saskia: zn is short for zoon (son), so Hzn means son of H., Wzn means son of W (so their fathers' initials are H. and W., respectively). Sometimes people added these abbreviations to their names to distinguish between cousins with the same names.

Hzn and Wzn. What do these abbreviations, which follow names, signify please?

I am researching my wife's family and have come across a brick will with a Willem (Gerrits) Vis who married Wympje (Pieters) Veen. Hendrik (Willems) Vis was born Jun 18 1860 son of Willem and Wympje in Aengwirden Friesland
