1900 and 1910 Censuses [30 March 2015]
An Annie, called Halbersma in 1900 and Bulthuis in 1910, is living with John Bulthuis and Emma Noordhoff in those respective censuses.
Looking for an 1880 census entry to confirm that John is a sibling of Alice, Jennie, and Abel.
According to an Ancestry Family Tree, he is a sibling; he is the oldest listed, but the naming conventions suggest he was preceded by a "first" Abel.
Note however that there is another Annie Bulthuis who shows up in IL and MI census records, sometimes with her husband Peter; she is Anje Groendijk of Uithuizermeeden.

- For what it's worth, I think you have the correct family with the 1900 and 1910 census records. The Peter Bulthuis that is sometimes suggested (on Ancestry) as John's father was born in Dec 1844, his wife Annie was born in Sept 1848 (per 1900 US Census, Grand Rapids township, Kent, Michigan), and immigrated with his wife and 2 sons (Jacob and Ysbrand) in 1889 (from 1900 Census, also from New York Passenger Lists). So he couldn't have been the father of John b. in Illinois in 1873. Add to that, John's middle initial E, and his first born son named Elko. (And, yes, naming patterns persisted in some form in North America, which is why my first name starts with a G, my oldest male cousin's first name starts with a G, and the family went into a big flap when my oldest uncle finally had a son and named him John, not George. We're talking 3rd and 4th generation, here.)
- Some other references that may be of interest:
- Elko Bullthuis, res S. Kezie av nr. W26th in 1878 Chicago City Directory, p. 120
- Elko (Jr.) Marriage record
- A Ritsema! Cool. Even if it's not a Ritzema. P.S. about naming patterns, a lady in my church between my parents and me in age said that her in-laws were very offended when they named one son by combining the names of the grandparents and named the second son something else. But on the other hand my Dad's family totally ignored the convention, and the sons who should have been Paul and Jacob were instead Harold and Carroll. --pkeegstra 10:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Possible Death Record [29 March 2015]
If she did have a second marriage to Halbersma, this agrees with the 1910 census that she reverted her surname to 'Bulthuis'.

Jacob Builthuis, mother's maiden name "Rippeda" [31 March 2015]
Minnesota Death Certificate Index
BULTHUIS, JACOB, born 22 MAY 1888 (out of state), died 2 Jan 1956, Kandiyohi County
Mother Maiden Name: RIPPEDA
This would be the Jacob Builthuis in the 1910 Census, who was listed as Jacob Halbersma in 1900 (Census takers did that a lot!). In both censuses, he and mother Annie were living with John E. Builthuis. In 1920 John Buithuis was living in Roseland Township, Kandiyohi County, MN. Kandiyohi is where Annie Bulthuis and her husband William Knott lived, as did Albert and Alice Bulthuis Knol and, I'm sure, many others also related. --GayelKnott 01:41, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- I am certain Jacob's mother was Anje Ripperda; the evidence I've been looking for was whether his father was Bulthuis or Halbersma. (I've seen another non-divorce (in Chicago!) where the woman raised her children from husband #2 with the last name of husband #1.) I'm surmising that the very youngest children in the 1900 census are for sure Halbesmas, and I'm not sure where the line is, since the latest we've tracked Elko Sr to is 1878. --pkeegstra 10:20, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
