Person talk:Wytze Feddema (2)

[22 June 2013]

They were shipped here, and a hired hand named John Bosma was sent along to care for the new herd. When he arrived in Whitinsville, he asked to be allowed to stay and to take care of the cows he had brought. The next spring, he sent home for his sister and her husband, William B. Feddema. Feddema’s brother, Peter, came over the next year, followed by his wife and their five children. Jake and William Feddema, who had worked in "The Shop," were two of those five children. Virtually all of Whitinsville's present Dutch families owe their existence in the town, through one connection or another, to the early start made back in 1886-1888 by Mr. John Bosma and the Feddema family.--henk 07:23, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

Hello all, I am in need of some help once again. I have become stuck on a family member and am try to go ealier into the 1800's or even earlier than that. I cannot find a clear enough record to tell me if I am on the right track or not. Here is what I have:

The information I have on Yfke conflicts and the name listed as her father and grandfather are speculation on my part based on snooping the online records of Ryksagyf. Is there some way that this information can be confirmed or disproved? Any help is greatly appreciated. Scott--henk 13:07, 28 June 2013 (EDT)
