The birth year matches and the first name is a good match. The only thing that doesn't match is the year of immigration. Your note says 1873 but my dates are 1892 and 1899, in 1853 Nanko was only 5 years old and his parents stayed in the Netherlands. As always, new info raises new questions. In this case, who was Grace and what was het Dutch name. I'll go back to ellis island to see if I can find a match and go through my notes for his village in NL. Thanks again, Peter
