Surnames: Tjoelker, Van Hemmen
Hi am looking for information about my grandfather's family. My grandfather, Jan Jans Tjoelker (1884-1974), immigrated to the United States in 1910. He married Jantje Van Hemmen (1886-1961) who immigrated to the United States in 1912. They were married in 1912 in Chicago, Ill. They homesteaded in Oregon. After World War II, he settled in Rogue River, Oregon.
My grandparents made several trips back to The Netherlands up until my grandmother's dead in 1961.
I am wondering if there is still family in Groningen. Either Tjoelker or Van Hemmen.

thank you in advance

Hello,

I found a Jan Tjoelker, born on November 3, 1884 in Tietjerksterdeeel, Friesland, The Netherlands. But I don’t know if that is the same person. His father was Jan Wytzes Tjoelker and his mother Hiltje Wytzes Faber.

I found a Jantje van Hemmen, born on August 24, 1886 in Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
But also here I don’t know if that is the same person. Her father was Kornelus van Hemmen and her mother Hillechien Wietses.

I want to know if these are the wright persons.

To find living persons is almost impossible, because of privacy laws.

But maybe I can find some siblings of them.

Regards,

yes, you have the right people for both my grandparents!

Jantje Van Hemmen immigrated to the USA with her brother, Egbert and Henderikus (Henry).
I don't know if she had any siblings remaining in The Netherlands.

My grandfather, Jan Jans Tjoelker, apparently had eight siblings but I don't know if any immigrated to the USA.
Thank you for your quick response.

Hello,

I send you, of both their civil birth certificates. They are in Dutch.

I have already seen that Jantje van Hemmen have had 8 siblings.
This was so a big family.
I can gather all the information, but that takes some time.
Did not search for siblings of Jan Tjoelker.
I have still to do. That takes also a lot of time.
When I have the information, I will send that to you.
