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>

I believe Atte to be born on January 8,1871 in the Netherlands. I find his death listed as October 27, 1943. There is also a possibility that he re-married at the death of Katie to a woman named Winnifred, (unless I have my wires crossed) Thanks for your efforts. Peggy
