    1. [MIKENT] Re: Jacob Bierens of Grand Rapids (1860s)
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kFB.2ACE/4402.1 Message Board Post: On the website of the Zeeland Registry, I found a Jacob Bierens (there are lots of them) and a Pieter Bierens who are listed as "Emigrants" departing from Oud Vossemeer (which is the name of a city or town in the Netherlands) in the year of 1867. Since both of those names appear, these might be the names you are looking for. It would be helpful of you knew Johanna's (or Jane) maiden name. If you want to access that website, enter this exactly: http://database.zeeuwsarchief.nl/ . Choose the English language and it will take you directly to the search page where you can enter surnames. A record of their marriage might be available. Hope this helps.
