Hello everybody! I'm new to this list so I'll introduce myself. My name is Harry Snijder, 53 years young and living in The Netherlands. My interest in genealogy was aroused two years ago while visiting relatives in Alameda, CA, who wanted to know about their roots. Since then I was rather succesfull tracing them back till the mid-18th century. One of the people who married into my family has the name of Romaine, (also of Dutch descent, originally Romijn, settling at first in Fresno, about 1900's). On Rootsweb I found a William A. Romaine, having died in Contra Costa County in 1997, whose mother's surname was Klein, which coincides with the data I already had. So possibly I'm on the right track at last. My question is: Is there anyone on this list familiar with these names (Romaine, Romijn, Klein)? If so, please respond, so I can continue my (re)search! Greetings from Harry.
