Pieter was Simon's brother, both born from Jan Edzes Vanderlaan. I currently have six children from Jan Edzes but there are gaps between some of the children. If Simon is your GG Uncle and Druis your GG Grandfather, then Druis would have been another son of Jan Edzes, right? Do you have a date of birth or any further info on Druis? Are you willing to share any of Druis' line? I have had my family tree posted on Ancestry for many years so my line is out there. Just look up Jan Edzes Vanderlaan. My current email is TheBeekmans@indy.rr.com. By the way, my children were both born in Minneapolis area. We lived there from 1973-1979.
