The Etstoel in Drenthe represented for a long time the highest judicial body in Drenthe. The 24 "etten" (judges)were appointed from the top layer of the freeholder farmers. For genealogists, the list of networks can be a good addition to the usual sources. H. Bonder has compiled a list of "etten" (Members of the Etstoel of Drenthe, H. Bonder, Drenthe New People's Almanac, 1917, pg.83). This list is reproduced here, sorted by game thing. Background information is included in the etstoel Introduction. | The Etstoel in Drenthe represented for a long time the highest judicial body in Drenthe.

The Etstoel originated in the Saxon assemblies. The leader of the meeting has probably appointed for each case from the common people only, the person who suggests the punishment, who later were not appointed for special cases but only for aperiod of time were designated by him. Thus gradually arose the Etstoel, a college that not only administeed judment, but also gave general administrative direction.
