I would greatly appreciate your sending the picture of the census. It does indeed appear to be one and the same in spite of the incorrect spelling. Alice, my now deceased mother, was about 1O when they immigrated. She was the oldest in the family. Her brother John (incorectly listed as Joe, assuming the correctness of the rest of the data) was 2 years younger and her brother Andrew trailed them by several years. I am most indebted for your kidness and the immediacy of your response. Benjamin J.

I checked the Archives of Michigan website and they have the Kent Co. naturalizations indexed. Here are the numbers to ask for at the Archives: BOREKOEL, Cornelis Franciscus, Vol. 38, p. 488, (first papers) BOREKOEL, Cornelis Franciscus, Vol. 81, p. 51, (first and second papers) * there is also a Frederick Borekoel listed. I would ask for those,too. Maybe it's Cornelius' father , borther or son. Vol. 53, p. 288, (first papers) CAMMENGA, John , Vol. 35, p. 186, (first papers) CAMMENGA, John , Vol. 73, p. 93, (first and second papers) OK, off you go. Please let me know what you find out.
