POSTHUMA FAMILY TREE
Tijdt Gerlofs Donia
Kimswerd, Wonseradeel
Meyllemastate is the name of the place where Pier Gerlofs Donia, "Grutte Pier", and his sister Tijdt Gerlofs Donia lived. I have also read that their place may have actually been called Doniastate.

On the 29th of January 1515, the Black Band plundered Donia's village, then allegedly raped and killed his wife, Rintze Syrtsema, burning to the ground both the village church and Donia's estate.
There are no records of this estate that I have been able to find. There is a map from 1718 that notes the location of the state.
