I am looking for information about Alvin Kuipers. He was my wifes Grandfather. She believes he lived in West Virginia and Michigan and knows that he has passed away. He had 5 children with his wife Evelyn Ruth Kuipers, their names are Robert,Diana,David,Nancy and Steven Kuipers. Alvin married and had more children - one of their names is Dawn Kuipers. We do not know the other children's names. My wife's mother Diana is a missing person since 1981 and she hopes to find her Mom's other siblings. Alvin lived in Holland, MI. when he was married to Evelyn and there they had their 5 children together.

Alvin Kuipers, b. 1926

Have you tried looking up the names of Alvin's children at http://www.whitepages.com/9901/ and calling them to see if they are family?

Surnames: Kuipers
Alvin left his wife Evelyn after having 5 children with her. These 5 children have been located and never knew much about their real father. 3 of the children have died, 1 is a missing person, Diana Harris and 1 is alive living in Texas. My wife, Diana's daughter had always been a part of this family. She is now searching for Alvin's other children. She has been told that Alvin had 3 or 4 other children, but she only has the name of one of these kids...which is Dawn Kuipers. Robert Kuipers was Alvin's oldest son...he died, I believe in 1989, or 1990. Even though Alvin left his wife Evelyn, and their children...he did attend, Robert's funeral. My wife would love to find all the names of Alvin's other children.
His children's names with Evelyn were Robert,Diana,David,Nancy and Steven Kuipers. Only David is still alive today. Diana has been missing for 28 years.
There is no information found so far about his other children, except the name of one, Dawn Kuipers and we have a picture of her as well. Thank you for responding. We will check out the link you sent in search for Dawn Kuipers.
