Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/698 Surname: De Kraker, Rott, Talsma ------------------------- A million thanks Terri. That is the family I am looking for and I will check the book at Herrick. I have extensive information on Katie Talsma's family if anyone is interested. She is linked through my De Kraker family. I have also exchanged info with a cousin in the NL who has done extensive research on Katie Rott Talsma's ancestors on her father's side. The actual spelling of Katie's surname is Rot and her ancestors were from Zaandam, Noord Holland
