Cindy, my great grandmother Fijke Boekweg had a brother named Heiko. He was married to a Geridina Johanna "Stella" Draayer. She was born 1 Jan 1885 in Twoolde, Holland, married Heiko 8 Nov 1905 in Colorado, and died 30 Jan 1961 in Ogden, Weber, Utah. I've not yet had the chance to look for her obituary at the microfilm archive in Ogden, so I do not know who her parents were. Perhaps this aunt of mine is related to your family; I know there were a lot of Prussians immigrating to Holland during the reign of Frederick The Great. I myself have Prussian ancestors who chose to go to Holland. I hope I've been of help.
