I found several Dijkgraaf family-members, who changed their surname into DeGraff. I searched further. I now think Lena was married 11 November 1880 in Grand Rapids to Nahum Dean (findable on rootsweb.com). Someone with acces to Ancestry.com just told me he can find Nahum and Lena till 1930. Now how to find out when they died? They had no children! For Johanna I'm still searching. Gert

    1. [MIKENT] Durfee Embalming - Grand Rapids Mich
    2. I have quite a large picture of the employees of the Durfee Embalming Fluid Co.. Believe there are 32 people in this picture taken about 1895-1903. If you have a family member who worked there I could try and copy this on the scanner. The faces are beginning to fade, and their are no names. It must have hung on a wall for a good amount of time. On the bottom are the words Mich Eng. Co. A.W. Brown President.

They arrived in the USA 14 April 1873 with the vessel Calabria. Both were born in The Netherlands. Lena's father and Johanna's husband died in 1868 and Johanna travelled under her maidenname. The registration in Renesse tells they travelled to Grand Rapids (Michigan not mentioned). I cann't find them in the Censuses. Are there other ways? They perhaps went to Johanna's daughter from an earlier marriage; Cornelia Jonker (married to Cornelis Jonker). All help welcome! Thanks in advance, Gert Scholten Amsterdam The Netherlands

    3. I assume you know nothing about genealogical research from the vagueness of your query. But I'm bored so did a quick census search which should get you started on your own research rather than relying on strangers to do it for you. 1900 census, Kent Co, Algoma Twp pg 31B line 67, 313-316 Ralph F Fonger, head b. Feb 1864, 36 married 9 yrs, born Can French (Quebec most likely), fb Can mb Can, immigrated 1871 naturalized, farmer, owns mortgaged farm, can read, can write, can speak English Ella, wife b.
