Family talk:Harm Gringhuis and Trientje Bijmholt (1)

possible son [17 September 2012]

I'm not sure if this is a son of Harm & Trientje: Geert Gringhuis (bottom pg 109 top of 110). Harm's father's name was Geert and the Geert in this book was born in NY 17 Apr 1850. --Jennifer (JBS66) 14:07, 16 September 2012 (EDT).

It's a very possible guess, assuming that the came to New York in 1849, and gave birth to a son in 1850,thank you!;-)

Looks like there were more immigrants from Veendam/Wildervank with that name:
