I am a former Hudson County resident researching KIPP/KIP
family. Please contact if you are interested in this family

Thank you for the site information. Will check that out. Appreciate your response.

My ggrandmother - Julia Arents (born Sep. 1872) came to Canada in 1905 from Belgium. Her sister's Adline,and Elise, and brother Charles came as well. There was a sister left in Belgium. I believe her father's name may have been Charles Germaine Arents

Here is what I have on the ARENTS surname so far. Hendrikrie ARENTS, daughter of Cornelius Aertszen/Arentsen (note spelling) and Belletje Hendricks. Hendrikrie married Pieter Cornelise Bryant/Breyandt. The ARENTS surname then winds down to the KIP/KIPP surname.

Thank you for your message of March 22. Does any of this look familiar to you?
