I had been very anxious to exchange information with anyone having information on Catherine and her mother Adrianna Vulders DeKoning Van den Heurk. I bought "Carried Gold in Belts" from Anton Neggers and was fascinated with his detailed work of that line in the Netherlands. On visiting Bay City and searching land records, it was clear that Adrianna was the one bringing money into the marriage. She was the landowner. I also got a copy of her paperwork selling the farm to her daughter and son-in-law, Catherine and Prosper Tacey. She did not "cut them a break." Although the family stories indicated that Adrianna always spoke French or Dutch, legal papers drawn up in Missouri state that she speaks English. I'd love to get a copy of the Ida Huijskens article. Please let me know any associated fees and an address if I might be able to have it.
