My wife is decended through the Knoll line via her mother Geraldine (Gerry). Gerry is the daughter of George Knoll and Alberta Mosher. George Knoll is the son of Richard Knoll. Richard's father was Hermannus Knoll who was the brother of Lucas. Their father was John (Jan) Knoll and Hendrika :?? who immigrated to western Michigan from the Netherlands sometime just before 1850 (son John born in Netherlands 1846 son Henry born in Michigan 1850). I will share any information I can dig up on this family. Sincerely; Lynwood "Lynn" Crow Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

No intrusion, more like a blessing! Any help is better then none at all. Thank you so much. I do not know if I am related to that person. My grandmother was Anna Predko (Maiden name Kunanec) born August 3rd, 1923 to Stephan Catherina Kunanec (I believe). My grandfather was Martyn Predko - born January 11th, 1915 to Temko Maria Predko. I believe my grandmother had 3 brothers - Adam, Bohodan, Taras. I know she had an Aunt Pauline Konvolenko in Canada who passed around 1997 I believe. My grandfather had a sister Erica (I believe). My grandparents had 4 children - Taras, Eugenie, Joseph, and Olia. I know they came over from Breemerhaven, Germany and that my grandfather was born in Rheine, Germany. They didn't speak much about anything so I have no idea where their sisters and brothers ended up, I probably have long lost cousins lerking closer then I think, I'd like to find them.

My branch is the "forgotten branch" that of Hendrick Vanden Bosch and his wife Sena Tenhaggen. However I have compiled information on all the descendants of Tamme Melles Vanden Bosch and Gretie Bont our original immigrant ancestors as well. The end result is a paperback 11x8.50 printed book. The book contains 483 pages, over 50 pages of pictures, bios and obituaries of some of the oldest family members available. It contains pictures and newspaper articles from the Holland Sentinel and other printed text. I have found a printer for this book. In order to keep the book affordable it will be in black and white with the exception of the covers created by my very talented, artistic sister. The front and back covers will be laminated for protection and the binding is that of a hardcover book. The cost of the book will be $50.00 plus $8.00 shipping and handling from California. If you are interested in this book please email me at gasladysocal@msn.com. Thank You, Jeanette Vanden Bosch Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Oddly enough, it doesn't mention Calista as such. In a request for reimbursement for final expenses for Jacob's death, his son in law, Fred Lillie, lists Jacob's wives, Rosanna and Lucinda. It lists Lucinda's death date as March 15, 1906. I cannot confirm this date, but will go to the Ottawa County clerk's office and see if I can find the record. I will also check Muskegon County again. It probably won't be until Monday or Tuesday of next week. The listing of the Polkton cemetery does have Jacob's family in it, including a "Lillie" Brillhart. The dates of 1876-1908 through me, but now I realize 1876 meant the approximate date of their marriage, not a birth date. I cannot comment on the discrepancy of names, but I have run into it on several occasions while doing research.
