Hi Luke, Thanks a lot for your help. The people you write of are my grandparents. Since I posted the bulletin, 2001, my husband and I have been to Nederland 3 times and we went to Zeeland to find relatives and info. The archives there were very helpful and I can now go back to 1731 when the family still lived in GrooteLind (Zwaandrecht). Before that I have no info. My main target now is to find some confrimation of my parents' marriage in Baarn, July 4, 1932. My father's name: Pieter Buitendijk and my Mom's name Alida Hendrika Vitringa-Spruitenburg. I located this on her passport but the Baarn People had no info for me. Hope you might have a suggestion. If I can help you in any way, please write. I live in Victoria BC Canada and my email is
