This means John's father was at the age of 50 and his mother at the age of 37, which is rather aged. According familysearch data, Aart was married with Martje Tannis on 8 december 1891 in Vriesland. His mother was Johanna Cornelia van Zandwijk. Has someone more information about the stated persons?

Call the County Court House in Grand Haven. They have been very helpful in tracking down birth and deathe records. Type in Ottowa County on your search engine.

Does anybody have access to the birth & death records for Ottawa County for the years 1915 to 1920? I need a look up for the death record of Hedwig/Hattie Lehmann and the birth and/or death record of a Herman Lehmann. Both of these would have been young children at the time of their deaths.

I've heard there used to be a small local newspaper in Farowe. While I'm not sure of that I do know that the other local newspapers (Zeeland Record, Holland City News) had correspondents in Farowe and occassionally included tidbits from that area. ----- Original Message ----- From: <pawlike@aol.com> To: <MIOTTAWA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 9:07 PM Subject: [MIOTTAWA] Re: need help in eastern ottawa county on tough questions... > 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/CIB.2ACI/1293.3 > > Message Board Post: > > Hi Amanda, > Thanks for offering to help others.

It appears much of my family settled around the Hudsonville area & 2 relatives are listed as original pioneers - living in Georgetown in 1849 - Dirk & Adriann Van Farowe. I have some hard questions, but I'll give it a try. Is there anything you are particularly looking for? My questions: 1. Do you know of any list of cholera victims from 1849? How about a cemetery where they were buried? 2. Is there a way to find out any info on the now ghost town - Farowe (also have seen it spelled Furonde)? There used to be a church called Farowe Reformed, which I hear is now South Blendon Reformed. 3. Do you happen to know if any orphan trains came through that way? I'm especially looking around 1905.
