I have traced the Elzinga tree back 8 generations, to before 1772. However, I can't seem to make any connection between it and the above posts. Here's a brief listing of the males from the earlier generations:
George Elzinga & Janet DeWeerd (still living)
Abel Elzinga & Grace Holstege
Geert Martin & Deltje Abels Hofman
Marten Dirks Elzinga & Ynske (Anna) Eeltjes Folkertsma
Dirk Geerts Elzinga & Sjoerdje Martens
Geert Dirks Kirkhof (died after 1772) & Sjoukje Hemkes
If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!
