My grandfather's parents were Jacob Dijkstra (b. abt 1847 Uithuizen, d. 1921 Michigan, USA) and Elizabeth Doornbos (b. unk, d. 1917 Groningen, NL) I have reached a dead end with every search engine, LDS site, Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com, and query message boards trying to find out more about them, ie marriage date, parents names, actual birthdates, etc. I don't understand why I have been able to find my grandmother's family so easily and nothing on Grandpa's. Can anybody help me?

I don't personally have any of these people in my tree. I don't know where you live but if your ancestors were in Michigan you might try to find some sources in the Holland, Mich. area
I am told that Hope College in Holland, Mi. has a lot of records, also the Herrick Library in Holland has a geneology
dept. You might also try the Library of Michigan in Lansing,Mi. Hope this is of some help.

In connection with previous message, you might also try to
find records of the Reformed Church of Michigan or the
Christian Reformed Church.

Hi Jeanne,

On the GenLias-site (www.genlias.nl, free registration) I found the marriage of two children of Jacob and Elizabeth.

1. wedding in Oude Pekela (Groningen), act 37, Aug. 13, 1912
Husband: Tjeerd Dijkstra, 28 yr, born Kantens (Groningen)
son of Jacob Dijkstra and Elizabeth Doornbos
Wife: Aaltje Bloem, 24 yr, born Oude Pekela (Groningen)
daughter of Pieter Bloem and Anna Kuilman

2. wedding in Baflo (Groningen), act 22, Nov. 23, 1916
Husband: Engel Oost, 40 yr, born Norg (Drente)
son of hendrik Oost and Antje de Jong
Wife: Trijntje Dijkstra, 25 yr, born Kantens (Groningen)
daughter of Jacob Dijkstra and Alizabeth Doornbos
Trijntje already had a child

The wedding-acts of Kantens, where Jacob and Elizabeth probably married, are not yet available on GenLias. I suppose you can find them there within a few months, information is added regularly.

Succes, Peter

My name is Maribeth Vander Weele and my mother, Elizabeth Berghuis Vander Weele, was the daughter of Johanna Dijkstra (Dykstra), the daughter of Jacob Dijkstra and Elizabeth Doornbos. Do you still need information on Jacob and Elizabeth? I have posted a family tree on ancestry.com in the United States. It is located here:

http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/27498384/family

Who were your parents? I have a photo of the Dijkstra sisters and there is a gentleman named Bob Dykstra in Ohio, USA, who has reseached this tree extensively. My email address is maribeth@vanderweelegroup.com
