I grew up in Munster living on the same farm land as my great grandfather settled. That land today is all single family homes. My dad had 2 brothers and a sister. I have no brothers or sisters but my wife and I have 7 children and 25 grand children. We currently live in Lansing, Illinois just about 1.5 miles from the Munster Jabaay homestead. The original Jabaay house is still being lived in but has been remodeled somewhat.
I would be interested in learning more about my heritage.
Thank you.

Hi Bob,

Mary Jabaay-Jensen is my 2 great grandmother. Mary married Garritt Jensen and lived in Munster. My great grandmother was Nellie "Peachie" Jabaay who married Simon Blocker.

Robin,

My great grandmother was Mary Jabaay, married to Peter Wiers. Please see my Oppenhuis/Wiers Tree. What confuses me is who is Mary Jabaay married to the Jansen. I remember the Jansen fruit stand on Ridge Road in Highland. Some of the Wicker Park property had belonged to Mary Jabaays father and was then given to Mary and Peter.

If you are interested I have more info. I can check.

Hi Janell - I am sure there were two Mary Jabaays, since the Jabaay family branched out significantly. It would beneficial to do a search at www.genlias.nl since you have your Mary's general birthdate. The Dutch spelling is most likely Jabaaij. The website is in Dutch, but there is an option in the genealogy search engine to switch it to English. You can also check with my cousin, Carrie Blocker, who has done extensive research too. Her tree is the Blocker-Robson (or Robson-Blocker) tree on ancestry.

Hopefully this will give you a starting point. Also, have you contacted the local newspaper in Munster for your Mary's obit? It may list her parents there.
