Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=668 Surname: De Jongh ------------------------- Thanks for your response. I am thinking that I must be incorrect on the date I listed for the family living here. I found Adriana De Jongh born in 1844 in Michigan and am thinking this birth place must be incorrect. This is the reason I thought Dirk De Jongh lived here in 1844. I will have to keep searching for the family. Thanks

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=667 Surname: De Jonge, Der Herder ------------------------- I have a (borrowed) copy of a mimeographed book, titled "Jan De Jonge Family Register" and printed in 1956 by some unknown persons. On page 16 of the book it states: "When the first pioneers arrived here in 1847 the area which is now Zeeland and vicinity was one dense virgin forest ..." I looked in this book for a reference to your "Dirk De Jongh and Lena Smalheer family who lived in or near Zeeland, MI in 1844" and found nothing showing that they were related to the family of Jon De Jonge and his wife Jannetje Der Herder, who arrived in Zeeland, MI on June 15, 1849.

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=666 Surname: De Jongh, De Kraker, Rot, Root ------------------------- Is anyone researching the Dirk De Jongh and Lena Smalheer family who lived in or near Zeeland, MI in 1844?

I have compiled a series of e-mail letters into a single document and am trying to make it both "user friendly" and visually pleasant <I DO dream>. The document is 81 pages of names (marriages). Is there anyone who would be willing to take on this horrible task? It is tedious and boring (unless you come across surnames of interest to you). Any Volunteers? Terri Rene (swamped with children's summer schedules & family projects)

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=664 Surname: Van Sinderen ------------------------- I am looking for information about Sidney Van Sinderen, born 1 November 1897, Ferrysburg, MI. Who were his parents? Were they new arrivals in the US? And were there other Van Sinderen family members living in Ottawa County or Michigan? Etc.

Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa?read=662 Surname: Honner, Honor, Collins, Maher, Richardson, Waterman ------------------------- Looking for my ancestors in Grand Haven area, Ottawa County, MI: * HONNER or HONOR: My family spells it both ways. Ggg uncle Thomas Honner was a mariner, at one time master of the DCH&M steamer Wisconsin. I have heard he went down in a shipwreck but cannot find anything about it. (Thomas is on the 1892-3 Census for Head of Household). My gg grandfather Edward W. Honner (Capt. Tom's nephew) was also a captain & ship's master. * COLLINS, MAHER: Edward married (Mary?) Agnes Maher of Grand Haven. Her mother was Ellen Collins Maher (and add Richardson later, I believe). Agnes Maher's brothers & sisters were William, Mrs. Jesse Waterman (first name unknown), Henry, Margaret, and Thomas. If anyone sees familiar names here, I'd appreciate any info you have! Please email me at [email protected] Thanks! Maryjane Honner

I suspect Ralph (part-time genealogist/employee that heads up the genealogy section of Herrick Lib. in Holland, MI) is in China. He usually goes in the summer for about six weeks. I don't think any of the volunteers there answer the email. -- Shelly E-mail: <[email protected]>
