I visited Bay City/Essexville in the summer (2004) and was able to do land records on my Francis and his wife Adrianna Vulders Van den Heurk. Now I know that Catherine "King" DeKonig who married Prosper Tacey (Jr.) was the daughter of Adrianna and her first husband. I have tracked the Francis/Adrianna line of Van den Heurks and have located most of the descendents. Thanks to the generous telephone and e-mail guidance from Cindy Kocsis, Scotty, Cindi Van Hurk, Gene Tacey, Art Jacobs, and Anton Neggers, I have a wealth of information on Adrianna's family. However, none of us have been able to place my Francis Van den Heurk with his correct family in the Netherlands. I'll keep your information so that we can exchange updates if any end up linking them together. The names Francis, William, and John did keep showing up in my line, but I still can't link them to yours. I do think that your group does connect with that of Cindi V! an Hurk's husband.
