Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/792 Surname: kruithof ------------------------- it just happens that some years ago a book on the kruithof family was published / at present tthis book is my nephew; once it is back, i could dig into it and let you know more about it. the searching "engine" used in that book is based on first name AND date of birth. So the more info you have, the more accurate i could give you the answers. have to say that the book is resticted to the families presently in the Netherlands and no further searching was done abroad. it looks like the roots of the kruithof family lies primarily along the dutch rivers hence their restlesness: two of my brothers also live abroad / others including myself either sailed or travelled around the world. our kids have the same blood in their veins. so, please provide me with maximum details that is up till the kruithof ones left Holland. cheerio
