Albert
EISING was the brother of my gr-gr-grandfather,
Egbert EISING. Their parents were Jan (John)
EISING and Hilligje
KOK EISING (there are several variations on Hilligje's first name, including "Hillichje").
Here's the information I have, though most of it is from undocumented genealogies and family records (I'm in the process now of trying to confirm things--that's how I came across your post!):
Jan Eising: born 3 February 1839, Hijken, Drenthe, Netherlands; died 5 August 1903, Lake City,
Missaukee Co., Michigan.
Hilligje Kok: b. 2 June 1851, Beilen, Drenthe, Netherlands; d. 6 November 1927, Lake City.
Jan
EISING and Hilligje
KOK were married on 5 September 1878 in Westerbork, Drenthe, Netherlands. She was his second wife; his first wife was Grietje REININK. Jan
EISING and Grietje Reinink had six children before she died on 15 August 1876, in Westerbork. Several of those children came to the US, marrying spouses named
Schepers, Herweyer, and Hoekwater.
Jan Eising's father was
Egbert EISING, b. 20 March 1803, Zweelo, Drenthe, Netherlands. His mother was Geesje
Jans Schepers, b. 8 March 1803 and died 10 April 1872, both in Beilen, Drenthe.
Hilligje Kok's father was
Willem KOK, b. 30 November 1828 and d. 12 December 1918, both in Beilen, Drenthe. Her mother was
Geertje KREEFT, b. 3 March 1829, also in Beilen.
We know the names of Hilligje Kok's grandparents, though nothing else: her father
Willem Kok's parents were Jan
KOK and Hilligien CORNELIS; her mother
Geertje Kreeft's parents were Roelof Kreeft and Marrigje TAP.
Albert
EISING was the second of seven children born to Jan
EISING and Hilligje Kok:

EISING, b. 1879, d. 1926--my gr-gr-grandfather
2) Albert

Gerrit, Mary, and John
EISING all stayed single their whole lives, and together they owned and ran a farm.
My grandfather was
Harm EISING, b. 28 April 1912, d. 12 November 1988. When his father
Egbert EISING died in 1926, leaving behind three orphaned children, my grandfather lived with the single aunt and uncles, and so did at least one sister, some of the time.
