Sadie Kooi was the daughter of Henry Kooi & Trena Bergma. Sadie was born 26 Mar 1885 in the Netherlands. On 21 May 1903 she married Henry Liefbroer in Grand Rapids, Kent Co., Michigan.
Henry was the son of Cornelius Liefbroer and the brother of Nellie, Mary, Cornelius Jr., & Jacob. The Leifbroer children were born in the Netherlands.
In stories she related to her own children, Nellie would talk about living near "The Hague" in the Netherlands. She spoke of going there to ski as a child. Nellie married Jan Ottink in or near Grand Rapids, MI..
In our efforts to trace the LEIFBROER family, we are looking at the KOOI relations. Any assistance would be appreciated.
