There are about 92 pages to this book (not indexed). It was printed (mimeographed) in 1956. I have looked for a Wilhelmia de Jonge and found none in the book. I have also looked for any DePuit in the book with the same dismal results. This does not mean that these folks were not related in some way, only that they were not discovered/mentioned by Mr. Adrian Van Koevering in his Register/book. > Jan De Jonge, Early Pioneer >From the "Jan De Jonge Family Register," a mimeographed book of 92 > pages. > Author Adrian Van Koevering. > Zeeland, Michigan, January 10, 1956.

I am stumped on the DRUMMOND roots. Most are from Macomb, Lapeer, St. Clair, and St. Joseph. There are a few thought to be from or lived in Ottawa. ANY "DRUMMOND" names that you might have, just might be linked to me, at this point I am willing to research any DRUMMOND. Heather

John Leach b in possible VT abt 1819, moved to NY and from there moved to Tallmadge Twp by 1870. an find no death for him or his wife Esther Enslow in Ottawa or Kent counties. Julie VanderWall

I'm looking for any connections to Howard and Leota Myers who lived in Marne till their deaths in the 1970's. They had 7 daughters - Alice, Betty, Myrtle, Joyce, Arline, Wanetta, and Patricia. They also adopted a son, James. Thank you, Elline

My brick walls are: Maarten De Ridder b. Nov.5, 1857 Baaltje ( Sybil? or Belia ) De Ridder b. Nov. 4,1859 ( married either a Hallam or a Boresma ) Huibertje b. Nove. 29,1861 ( She married either a Boersma or Hallam ). Dirk De Ridder b. Mar.21, 1829 Frances Ten Bleyker ( den Bleijker ) De Ridder. Frances and Dirk were the parents of the three previous children listed. They arrived in Holland, Michigan in 1866. I believe Dirk was a farmer. I would like any information about their lives, when they died and where they are buried. I know the girls...Baaltje and Huibertje were alive in June of 1929. One was married to Hallam from Kalamazoo and the other was married to Boresma and living in Florida. Maarten ( Martin ) was probably dead by then...there was no mention of him in my Great Grandfather's obituary. Thank you.

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/695 Surname: Talsma ------------------------- A copy of this book has been placed in each of the following libraries: Grand Rapids Public Library (Grand Rapids, MI) State Archives of Michigan (Lansing, MI) Herrick Public Library (Holland, MI) Allen County Public Library (Fort Wayne, IN) Mormon Church Archives (Salt Lake City, UT) Janet Lyons (the author/compiler) placed a note in the book stating that there would be copies placed in each of these libraries.

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/694 Surname: Talsma, Tiejema, Heemstra, Doedes, Visfer, Egberts ------------------------- We have a copy of Janet Lyons wonderful 1999 book about the Talsma Family. The book has 473+ pages and is not indexed. Please give approximate dates & places and I will gladly look for *your* Atte Talsma ... he is one of MANY as this was a prolific family who followed the Dutch naming patterns and thus each name appears every generation (several times). In our personal database we have the following: Atte "Arthur" Egberts Talsma (1883-1975) married Wilhemina Tiejema. He was the son of Egbert Attes Talsma & Grietje Heemstra. Attje Rinses Talsma (b. 1783), the son of Rinze Atte Talsma & Sijke Doedes. Atte Rinses Talsma (b. 1786), the son of Rinze Atte Talsma & Sijke Doedes. Atte Rinses Talsma (1789-1849) married Djuwke Eelkes Visfer. He was the son of Rinze Atte Talsma & Nieske Egberts. I did not find anyone with the surname of his wife (*your Atte's wife) in our database. Link: Dutch Naming Patterns URL: <http://www.macatawa.org/~brianter/genweb.htm#OLD NAMING PATTERNS>

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/693 Surname: ------------------------- The Hekman Library at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Kent County may have the Talsma family tree book.

Hi Listers, I have 4 ancestors buried in Oconto Cemetery. Could someone tell me where this cemetery is located, (I think somewhere in Grand Haven Twp), and if there are records available. There was also an Onconto Church I assume was associated with the cemetery. Are there records available for this church as well? My ancestors are Wilhelm BETHKE, death date 25 May 1920, and his wife Henrietta, death date 21 Feb 1920, Johann BEHM, death date 1 May 1907, and his wife Wilhelmine Caroline ZIMMERMAN, date date 1 Jul 1907. Wilhelm committed suicide, by hanging himself, close to his wife's grave! Any information on this cemetery and church would be greatly appreciated. John R. Sinnhuber Carmel, CA

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/692 Surname: Root, Rot, De Kraker, Talsma, Kolkman ------------------------- Does anyone have the book on the Talsma family and if so do you know if there is anything referencing Atte Talsma married to Katie or Tyntjie Rot or Root? They were both from Ottawa County later living in Kent County

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/690 Surname: De Kraker, Ver Schure, Hamelink, Heynsdijk, Rot, Root ------------------------- Sara De Kraker immigrated to Ottawa County in 1856. Her father was Isaac Romeijn De Kraker her mother Johanna Heynsdijk. She was born in October 21 1846 In Axel Zeeland, Nl died in Holland, MI in July 16, 1872 I believe she had a son named Isaac Romeijn Ver Schure and that he may have been raised by his grandfather after Sara died. I think Sara's husband's name was either Adrian or Edwin. Hope someone can help if they know anything about this Ver Schure family
