http://ottawa.migenweb.net/deaths/Ggtndr.html Birthdate 3 May 1878 (and mother Hendricka)
Consider the possibility that her mother remarried in Michigan and she took the name of her stepfather. In that case she and her mother could be from anywhere in the Netherlands. Enumerating all the emigrants Jan Dijkema ~1850 should not be that cumbersome. --pkeegstra 00:15, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
There are 6 entries for Jan Dijkema in the AlleGroningers landverhuizers list. --pkeegstra 10:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Searching for Jan's Wife Too [28 June 2015]
Louise van der Scheer is mentioned as a cousin Her father Person:Freerk van der Scheer (1) died in 1922; suppose she's really a cousin staying with her relatives, wouldn't it be logic to look at Wiersema's, Bulthuis,? (I think we can exclude van der Scheer & Drijfhout)
- For sure we should enumerate them. But we know she is a cousin on the paternal side via the Drijfouts, so it isn't obvious to me that there is a cousin connection on the maternal side. --pkeegstra 09:39, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- you're right didn't see that ;-)
- My interest in the family is because of that connection: Berendje Drijfout marries my cousin Derk Bolt.
- Person:Derk Bolt (1) was witness at the marriage
- I saw that. He would have been the stepfather, so that makes sense. --pkeegstra 21:39, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
- So when Derk Bolt was the witness for the groom, would that mean that the other person was the witness for the bride? I think it says Klaas Kuiginga (though that can't be right.)
- You're right; the witnesses seem to be in the wrong order: it would make more sense for Dirk Bolt (Jan's stepfather) to be witness for the groom and Klaas Kuizinga (Addie's stepfather) to be witness for the bride. --pkeegstra 21:13, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Take a look at [1] and tell me your thoughts :-) I think this is the person Person:Hindertje Diekema (1)
- For sure this is the right person, because John and Addie are the witnesses at the church wedding of Lambertus and Henrietta. (Evidently there was some pervieved or actual defect with that wedding which caused them to have the civil wedding two years later to keep things legal.) --pkeegstra 12:18, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Good work! So would this be the birth record then? Even though the date doesn't quite match? I did notice the name Kuizenga/Kruizenga showing up on one source. (I think it was the marriage record of one child.) --pkeegstra 21:47, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- it might be possible that she had another child just before she migrated ....
- But then the year wouldn't match. n.b. there was a first Frouwke geboorte overlijden and a Mettje geboorte (who seems also to have emigrated) --pkeegstra 21:44, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- What would really be useful is the bevolkingregister, but those aren't online for Uithuizen (or most of the rest of Groningen, if I understand correctly). I do note that the 1900 census has Addie's birth as May 1878. --pkeegstra 03:34, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
