Listed here are our Kuiken ancestors in Chicago/South Holland, Illinois, and in St. Annaparochie and St. Jacobiparochie in Friesland. We want to find any modern-day descendants of these people so that we can meet them to have lunch when we travel there during the second week of May this year:

Hello, some how I think there is a really distant relation here. My 4th g-grandparents are Jan Everts van Kuiken and Betske delles Boersma. Jennie and Edward brought their children over to America via Canada and settled in Chicago area. My father remembers some relatives in Chicago area where my grandfather worked before moving on. He also mentioned that some Van Kuiken's dropped the van off their names--we didn't.

Susan, I don't know if there is any relation. It's a mystery. I do know that my son's Kuiken ancestors came over from NW Friesland with the name Kuiken, not van Kuiken. I have their ancestors listed back to about 1800 or before. See if you can find any similarities to the Kuikens that I listed in my previous email. These people all came from Sint Annaparochie and Sint Jacobiparochie.

Dear Susan,

Maybe we can help each other. I lost track of Lijsbeth Gerbens Rijpstra (1819-...) married to Evert Ruurds van Kuiken (1826-...). They were married in 1856 and got at least one son Ruurd Everts van Kuiken (1856-...). Maybe they are in some way related to your ancestors?

Kindest regards,
Tymen Wierstra

Please write me again after a month. I am going on vacation tomorrow until June. My Kuikens were all from St. Jacobiparochie and St. Annaparochie in NW Friesland. Then, they moved to the USA. If this sounds familiar, let me know.

The best I can figure out is that Evert Ruurds is my 3rd g-grandfathers cousin. Have you been on the Ryksargyf? You can email me-smith83868@cs.com

Hi Susan: I am looking for information on August Delles, son of Edward and Jeanie Delles from Illinois, born in Germany or maybe Austria. They ended up in Florida. I can not find August on any of the census but I have found Edward and Jeanie, and no children mentioned. Would like to hear from you. Jackie at ernieandjakc@aol.com.

Hi, I'm not Susan, I'm Jenny. YOur posting said ancestors listed below, but there weren't any. I have posted to the Kuiken board in the past, but I don't see from your posting what you want. You can write me at jennycvb@aol.com.
