Jacob van de Hoef m. Jannigje Hogeweg, 1862, Gelderland, NL

carlsonjm — 2013-04-30 02:54:10Z

Here is another possibility. FamilySearch.org has Heintje's marrige, showing her mother to be J. Hoogeweg rather than Veldhuisen (that was the name of E. Roghair's mother):

Iowa, County Marriages, 1838-1934
Name E.J. Roghair
Event Type Marriage
Event Date 31 Dec 1887
Event Place Hospers, Sioux, Iowa, United States

Looking for information on Jacob VandeHoef, immigrated from Netherlands to Iowa, Sioux County. Married to Jantze Velthuizen; father of 2 daughters. One daughter, Heintje VandeHoef married Evert Jan Roghair Sr., my great-grandfather. Have no information on Jacob nor on Jantze. Thank you in advance!

OH Dear! so sorry. This is like a bad joke. I actually posted this question long ago on a dead end of my birth mother's research and have since found records back Belgium and in USA also.

I have now listed you as alive and would love to correspond.

lena_mc_walravens — 2013-04-12 16:42:01Z

Hi Searcher 4 the Truth!

I would like to get in touch with you since I found out that on your records I am indicated as being dead......

I am born in DRCongo, but I am not yet dead......;-)

Hoping to get a reply from you & I can then help you to correct other data around my brothers & parents.

Most likely you were in touch with Paula Brasseur or Marie-Henriette Brasseur which is linking to Silvrants

Kind regards,

Re: Fred Lewis Hudson

thudson9 — 2012-05-27 21:32:14Z

Kathy,

I would greatly appreciate any information you have about my grandfather. The family lost track of him once he returned from World War I. I have one picture of him and his pay book "Canadian Expeditionary Force". My father Ken Hudson lived in Sidney, Iowa from the late 1940's until his death in 2002. My grandmother Sylvia lived in Sioux City and passed away in the late 1950's I believe. If it's not to much trouble I would appreciate any information you may have. My email address is thudson9@tx.rr.com. My address is 2708 Creek Crossing Dr, McKinney, Texas 75070. Thank you and regards to your family.

Respectfully

Tom

I'm looking for obits, death records or cemetery location for Elias Platte Jenison and wife Martha(Summers) Jenison. Martha died sometime between 1900-1910 and Elias died after 1920.

I know you posted this a few years ago, but thought I'd give it a shot in replying. I have both Johanna and Gysbert on my family tree - he is my husband's 2nd GG. I have Johanna Mouw listed as born on 22 Jul 1866, but the death date is the same. However, I am sorry, but I do not have her parents information yet to share.
Do you have her husband's information? I have heard that he not only served in the Civil War, but was shot in the head, the bullet was not recoverable, he not only survived, but went on to marry three times and have 13 children. Do you have any documentation on what battles the 33rd Iowa fought in and where he was wounded?
Thank you!

Funeral Home near Hull 1905?

jonelson65 — 2011-04-08 02:18:39Z

Does anyone know what funeral home existed in or in the vicinity of Hull in 1905? Would like to find a funeral record for William Hodge who died in Sept 1905 in Orienta, OK, but funeral and burial took place in Hull, Dec. 1905. Have lots of other info on William Hodge, (census, marriage, family, migration from Canada to Iowa to SD to OK, etc.,)but cannot find his parents' names. Marriage record does not have parents' so am hoping a funeral record might show his parents.
Thanks.

Would someone in the area be able to look up an obit for Philipina Haag, who died Dec 2, 1910 in the area of Floyd, Sioux County, Iowa?
She was married to Adam Haag, and they lived in that area for about 30 years, so I'm hoping there will be something in a local newspaper. I am descended of her sister.

Re: Jacob J Koolbeck

yozmit — 2011-02-10 17:16:47Z

Jacob Jan is also my great-great-grandfather. Thank you for the wonderful articles and information on him- especially the results of the Mayoral Race in 1902. His son Jacob Koolbeck, my great grandfather, apparently was black-sheep of family; I'm not aware of the story behind this. He changed his last name to Dickson. I have seen the original obituary article from 1908 for Jacob Koolbeck- It was noted at the end of the article that my great-grandfather did not attend the his funeral, so there must have been quite a conflict with him and the Koolbeck family.

Re: Ryer Mulder

messy17 — 2011-01-20 01:02:13Z

Hello.
I am studying this line, too, and have information. Parentage = Jans (later changed to John) Mulder and Jacobje (Coba) Hartman. Immigrated 1888 to New York then Alton, ship is the Edam. His name was Reijer (Ray or Ryer), Most siblings took Americanized names, in parenthesis: Aart (Arthur) Willem (William), Jan (John),and Eibert (Eib or Ibe), sisters Rena (stayed the same), Eibertje (Abby), and Hendrikje (Hattie - this is my GGrandmother). Send me your email address and I can send you much more information, I have traced this back to the Netherlands and have several generations of information. I did make a trip to Alton and did research there, and I know where they are buried. I did even meet one of Ryers granddaughters, still living.
Hope to hear from you and share information.

shhouge — 2011-01-07 23:55:11Z

Was looking over the document and where you were questioning the address of LO in my opinion looks like a "D" especially when compared to where Willem van Dijk's name is recorded towards the beginning of the record. I think the "D"'s match pretty well.

This almost makes me feel like I've been in the Netherlands digging through old books!

I had most of the family info through www.genlias.com but could not find her birth record so I really appreciate your taking the time to post the link AND the translation for me.

Genlias has been a great source of info but I have to say that seeing a page out of an old book where it was first written down is a whole lot more fun to study!

Hi

Almost all original birth and marriage records (from 1811 till around 1900-1910) of the Netherlands are online.
They can be found on Familysearch.org, But if you can’t read Dutch it is difficult to find the correct birth or marriage document.

Translation of the birth document of Marregien:

Today on the twenty-seventh of September eighteenhundred fifty-two came to me Johannes Jacobus van Ingen, alderman, Civil Servant of the registry office of the municipality Kampen:
Willem van Dijk, fifty years old, profession farm laborer, residing in Eiland, municipality Kampen, with two witnesses the first Antonie Johan Baars, thirty-eight years old, profession male midwife, living in Kampen and second Joannes Lukas van ‘t Oever, forty-four years old, profession grocer, living in Kampen, he declared that his wife Hillegje Sellis, without profession, residing in Eiland, municipality Kampen, Letter LO?, number thirty-nine, gave birth on the twenty-five of this month, at eleven o’clock in the morning, of a female child with the name of Marregien.
We created this record and after reading the document is signed by me, the first party and the witnesses.

Note:
Eiland municipality Kampen is actualy named Kampereiland (Island of Kampen)

And I found the official marriage record of W. van Dijk and H. Sellis. (on the right side of the page)

I am looking for more information on Jacob J Koolbeck my great great grandfather who lived in Hospers, IA. Looking at his gravestone I noticed it said "the first mayor of Hospers, IA" Does anyone have any information on this or pictures of his family? Peggy Robbins
