Searching for any family information regarding Dick TJEPKEMA and Sadie JANSMA who had a daughter (Clara) born on September 8, 1879 at an unknown location in the Netherlands. They may have immigrated to the USA because Clara was married at age 18 in the Chicago area.

Vonnie,

Think I've found info that will interest you. Found it on a Dutch site, containing brief info from official birth- marriage- and death-certificates in Friesland/Holland. Alas it's not in English.

Friesland is a province in the north of Holland. Het Bildt is an area of Friesland (like a county I think), and Vrouwenparochie (as well as Sint Annaparochie) is a place in the area of Het Bildt.
The certificates most of the time only mention the area (the real (paper) certificates will probably mention the place as well). In this case Het Bildt. Sometimes a specific place is also mentioned. Het Bildt can therefore also mean it is in Vrouwenparochie or St. Annaparochie or several other places or hamlets.

I went to high school with someone named Dick Tjepkema (obviously not the same person, but perhaps related) - Minisink Valley High School, Slate Hill, NY - Class of 1972. I think he went on to Stonehill College on a basketball scholarship...no idea where he is today.

Surnames: Tjepkema / DeVries / Koesema / VanSwol
Jacqueline,

This Tjepkema family you have listed is one of which I am researching. Are you related some way?

I have noticed that you have posted info on a lot of different Dutch surnames.. Would you by chance be able to check out other names, or offer me a link to sites that will translate into English?

As the branch I am after has 4 ways back to Holland.. Eeke (Agnes) Tjepkema married a Berend DeVries, who came from Holland with his parents 3/18/1892..

Their 7th child Jennie DeVries married a Henry Koesema. Henry's father was John Koesema (Koezema), he married a Katie VanSwol (VanZwol), both of whom immigrated from Holland...

The help I need is a way to find out about John and Katie's grand parents as I have the parents & siblings names from the Immigration records..

Any help would be appreciated..

Thank you
Nina Sparenberg
