Thanks Ted, Elaine, Cynthia, Tom, Gayle, hope I haven't overlooked anyone (gettin' dotty, y'know) Well we can obvously rule out the Dirck Volkersen-Christine Vigne couple along with the Denyse-Sales couple. WHERE did this lady come from - an egg??? I've run myself ragged looking for contender fathers named "Dirck" Geertje's known daughters were: Heyltie, Annetje, Styntje (Christine) and Sachje (Sarah). I find no further record for Heyltie or Annetje. Styntje m. Nicholas "Claes" Janse Romeyn and had daughters: Gerrebrechtje, Lysbeth, Rachel, Sarah and Lydia Sachje "Sarah" m. Volkert Hansen Van Noorstrant . I find only one daughter for her: Jannetje named for her paternal grandmother. <big sigh> This blind old bat is STILL seeking a light at the end of this tunnel !! Many thanks, Barb ted.snediker@comcast.net wrote: >Glee, >I think you can rule out this set of parents for her. Teunis Nyssen (aka Denyse) and Phebe Sales (aka Femmetje Jans) had several children together, but none of them, to my knowledge with a name anything like Geertje. Also, if your Geertje had a patronymic of "Dircks" you would be looking for someone named Dirck as her father, I would think. > >Regards, >Ted Snediker > >-------------- Original message -------------- >From: "Glee Krapf" <gleek@ptd.net> > > > >>The above lady was the wife of Albert Albertse Terhune.
